OK yesterday on the way to work, I heard on the radio that it was National donut day. Today here at the dope, I read that is it [International Whore Day.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=565914)  
This got me wondering, where can I find a listing of all of these wacky “days” There might be some I want to celebrate.

A [Google Alert](http://www.google.com/alerts) for “International Day” forwarded to your phone ought to do the trick.
