National Chocolate Covered Nuts Day
February 25th, 2012
A protein-packed part of your daily diet just got more awesome! Douse your almonds, filberts, or cashews with cocoa and you'd have to be nuts to eat anything else today.
Nobody say anything gross about the last one.
National Pistol Patent Day
February 25th, 2012
There probably isn't a long line for pistol patentees at the patent office anymore, not since Samuel Colt and his infamous multi-chamber gun in 1936. So thanks. Mr. Colt, for giving the world another word that just keeps sounding funnier the more we say it. Pistol. Pistol. Pistol.
