Today, Sunday, October 13th, we celebrate:
International
African Penguin Awareness Day – This
day is all about raising awareness around the world about the plight
of the African Penguin, an animal which is sadly on the endangered
species list.
Navy Birthday – This year marks the 238th birthday of the U.S. Navy. Happy Birthday all you sailors out there!
International Skeptics Day – This is a day to be skeptical and untrusting of anything or anyone. Ask questions and don't believe anything unless you have irrefutable proof.
Fall
Astronomy Day
– Back in April, we had Spring Astronomy Day. This is the Fall
version of the same thing. It occurs as closely as possible to the
first quarter Moon in the Fall and it is intended to facilitate
interaction and education between astronomy professionals and
enthusiasts and the general public, such as myself.
To
celebrate today, ask the Navy to take you to Africa so you can check
on how the penguins are doing. After all, what proof do you have
that they are endangered? Tonight, look at the moon through a
telescope and make sure there really isn't a man on it making cheese.
