Good mornin friends of the page! Woke up this mornin to frost on the punkins and about everything else out there! Today is Friday November 8, 2013. Its Aid and Abet Punsters Day (It is a day to make dreadful puns and encourage others to do the same. Laugh wholeheartedly instead of groaning.) Its X-Ray Day (Wilhelm Röntgen discovered x-rays on November 8th, 1895 when he discovered treated cardboard he was using in routine experiments glowed in certain situations – the result of radiation hitting the surface.) Its Cook Something Bold & Pungent Day (Mmmmm, I dont think so..) Its Dunce Day (Today marks the death of medieval Scottish scholar, John Duns Scotus. He died in 1308, and he was the man responsible for the creation of the dunce cap. If you’re not familiar with what a dunce cap is, it is a tall, cone shaped hat that you would be made to wear if you were acting like a dunce back in the day. A definite mark of shame. Sctous believed that by wearing this cap, knowledge would flow from the point of the cap, down and into the head of the wearer, thereby making that person smarter.) Its National Parents As Teachers Day (Parents are a childs first and most important teacher. Its great that theres a day designated to recognize and celebrate the influence parents have in the lives of their children.) The food/drink holidays are Cappuccino and Harvey Wallbangers.
