February 26th, 2013, is the For Pete's Sake Day, Tell a Fairy Tale Day, Spay Day, Liberation Day (Kuwait), and World Pistachio Day.
For Pete's Sake Day is a celebration of a common phrase nobody understands. Who is Pete? Well, many etymologists believe Pete is a stand-in for God, to avoid blasphemous speech. In other words, say "for Pete's sake" rather than "for God's sake."
Tell a Fairy Tale Day could be a time to read aloud some Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson.
World Spay Day, always the last Tuesday in February, is an annual campaign of HSUS and Humane Society International. Please spay or neuter your pets! Follow the campaign on Twitter at #SpayDay.
Kuwait observes Liberation Day on February 26th.
World Pistachio Day honors a beloved nut that tastes quite different when made into my favorite ice cream flavor, pistachio. Remember when pistachios were usually dyed red, leaving evidence behind on your fingers when you ate them?
