So apparently everyone decided that May 25th makes a really good day for a holiday. As outlined by Dr. Dan over on Consumed by Wanderlust, May 25th is: Geek Pride Day World Planking Day Towel Day After he published that posting, however, he discovered that it is also: Wine Day In honour of Towel Day, […]
