  1. National Sarcasm Awareness Month. Sarcasm is so much of an art that deserves a whole month to fully appreciate it … if only it came in a font too. Real or nah?
  2. Law & Order SVU Day. This could be any day on USA, but don’t Benson, Stabler, Tutuola, Munch, Cragen, and crew deserve a day in honor of their service, or do you object?

  1. International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrrrrrrgh you serious? Well, that leads me to …
  2. Ask a Stupid Question Day. You could argue that this can and should be celebrated with an eyeroll every day of the year. But when is the official holiday? Let me Google that for you.
  3. Underwater Basket Weaving Day. It’s a well-known idiom for a useless elective, but has actually been taught at a handful of universities. Do we celebrate it with its own day?
  4. Cake Day. There’s really no better way to celebrate than with cake. Doesn’t it deserve a day of its own?
