Double Seventh Festival, Left-Handers Day, more

August 13th, 2013, is Double Seventh Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Left-Handers Day, Independence Day (Central African Republic), and National Filet Mignon Day.

In 2013 the Double Seventh Festival, sometimes called Chinese Valentine's Day, is observed on August 13th. Girls pray to Zhi Nu for sewing skills (and a chance at romance).

Left-Handers Day dates back to 1992, founded by the Left-Handers Club. Enjoy your day, lefties, and be happy you live in a time when left-handers aren't forced to convert.

The Central African Republic observes Independence Day on August 13th.

August 13th is National Filet Mignon Day. This has to be one of the best foodie days ever created, unless you're a vegetarian.
