In the US, just about every day and week is National something Day. I am looking for a calendar of these, so I can put it in a date (November 10th specifically) and see what is allegedly being celebrated. I can’t get the right search terms or something, anyone know of such a site?
Try this: Holidays & Celebrations
Don’t have a site, but do have a book, which gives the following:
[ul]
[li]First motorcycle tested (1885)[/li][li]Hindu New Year (Deepavali)[/li][li]Marine Corps Birthday (1775)[/li][li]Martin Luther’s birthday (1483)[/li][li]Most expensive painting ever sold (Van Gogh’s Irises, 1987)[/li][li]St. Aedh Mac Breic Feast Day (patron saint of headache sufferers)[/li][li]Sesame Street’s birthday (no year given)[/li][/ul]
Cool site, siberia!

Thanks to all, SMDB rules! Sesame Street turns 35 that day, that’s exactly the kind of random theme I need.
