National Clam Chowder Day – We
had National New England Clam Chowder Day back in January, but today
it doesn't matter if you like your clam chowder white or red. You
can even have one for lunch and the other for dinner if you like
both.
National Pistol Patent Day – On this day in 1836, Samuel Colt (1814 – 1862) received his patent for a “revolving gun”. When he was a child, he would hear soldiers talking about their experiences with various firearms and how it was impossible for a gun to shoot five or six times without reloading. So at a young age he decided that he wanted to create the impossible gun. When he was 16, he got the idea for his revolver by watching a ship's wheel spinning.
National Chocolate Covered Nuts Day
– Assuming you don't have allergies to nuts or chocolate, this is a
heavenly day for you. Any kind of nuts and any kind of chocolate
will do. You can make your own or buy your favorites. A lot of
people like the M&M chocolate covered nuts but those are
definitely not the only kind out there.
World Spay Day – Always
celebrated on the last Tuesday in February, this is a day to get the
word out that it is a very good idea to spay or neuter your pets.
Spaying and neutering keeps the cat and dog population from getting
out of control resulting in mega quantities of feral cats and stray
dogs running around in groups terrorizing the street gangs that are
trying so hard to take over the cities. Seriously, there are enough
animals in need of loving homes out there, you don't need your own
home overrun by puppies or kittens because you can't find enough
people who want to adopt them.

To celebrate today, spay or neuter your
dog or cat and go to a shooting range to practice firing modern
revolvers at targets. For dinner you can have some clam chowder, and
for dessert feel free to indulge in chocolate covered nuts.
