March 23rd, 2012, is National Puppy Day, Cuddly Kitten Day, Near Miss Day, World Meteorological Day, OK Day, Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, Pakistan Day, National Chip and Dip Day, and Melba Toast Day.
Need a dose of cute? Celebrate National Puppy Day by checking out the Top 20 Puppy Names of 2012.
Need more cute? Celebrate Cuddly Kitten Day as well.
Near Miss Day commemorates the day in 1989 when our planet experienced a... near miss. An asteroid passed within 500,000 miles, which is next to nothing in space terms. The asteroid could have left a crater the size of Washington, D.C., USA, if it had made contact. Whew!
The theme of World Meteorological Day 2012 is, "Powering our future with weather, climate and water."
OK Day celebrates a common word, or expression, that we use without thinking much about: OK or okay. You can thank Old Kinderhook for his role in helping the invented word to catch on. His campaign slogan was, "OK is OK." (So sorry I brought up the topic of presidential campaigns! Ugh.)
Gudi Padwa and Ugadi celebrate the day that Lord Brahma created the universe. Lord Brahma is part of the HIndu trinity, which also includes Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.
Pakistan Day is observed today, in memory of the Lahore Resolution, passed in 1940.
Celebrate National Chip and Dip Day with whatever chip and dip combo suits your fancy. Go with the old standby, potato chips with onion dip, or the spicier tortilla chips with salsa, or something exotic of your own invention.
If you're fond of all foods thin and crispy, you're in luck. Melba Toast Day honors a treat created by accident, by a chef at the Savoy Hotel. Dame Melba sampled the too-thin, over-toasted bread, and at that moment Melba Toast was born.
