She's right - February really is Nature's half-assed month

Jan 22, 2007 22:02

radioronin has reminded me once again that February is the official month of things we don't actually care about. Observe:

National Condom Month
American Heart Month
Black History Month
Library Lovers Month
National Bird-Feeding Month

According to the vast undead army that is Wikipedia, this utter indifference goes all the way back to the Romans, who didn't want the dang month in the first place, and the Saxons, whose two names for the month translated roughly to "mud month" and "cabbage month."

This February, try something you don't want to do! Or, you know, don't. Whatever.
