Hanging Out Day, Bicycle Day, Humorous Day, Garlic Day, more

April 19th, 2011, is National Hanging Out Day, Humorous Day, Garlic Day, Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day, National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, Bicycle Day, and National Amaretto Day.

National Hanging Out Day isn't what you might think. Project Laundry List asks us to consider line drying our clothes, to save money and energy.

Bicycle Day isn't what you might think, either. Bicycle Day marks the date in 1943 when Dr. Albert Hoffman took LSD on purpose for the first time, causing him to bicycle home from his lab. This political activist is better known as Abbie Hoffman.

On Humorous Day remember that a little laughter is a great coping mechanism.

Enjoy a garlicky meal on Garlic Day - vampires excluded.

On this date in 1995, the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA was bombed, killing 168. Remember them on Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day.

National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day is always celebrated the weekday after U.S. taxes are due, presumably because people were up all night looking for deductions.

Enjoy some amaretto cookies or an amaretto sour today, National Amaretto Day, in honor of a delicious Italian almond liqueur.
