What dose it take to make a national month. Can I just decide that september is national red car month or do you have to fill out some paper work? I mean its a cool trick but why dose it need a month? I understand why some fruits and vegtables and even animals have months, its because thats when you harvest that product or thats when they mirgrate. But sword swallowing why dose that deserve a month?

How ’bout fire swallowing? How do they keep the fire burning while in their mouth, and not scorch themselves?

So I hear a lot of “it’s national so-and-so month”. Maybe a post on all the different things that each month celebrates would be fun. I bet it’s a long list.

Jason, I’m not sure about the single middle finger, but would love to read about it. Of the pointer-middle finger combination held up in a V (reverse peace sign), I’d heard that it originated when the British would capture French archers and cut the two fingers off, so as to render them useless with a longbow. Thereafter, it became an insult known as the “Two Finger Salute”..

Love this blog, by the way!
