isn't there a holiday celebrating lever wrapping meteoroligist baptists?

Trinity · « **Reply #67 on:** April 04, 2006, 10:07:32 PM »

You know... I think there is. It's National Lever Wrapping Weather Forecasters Who Happen to be Baptists day. Better known as NLWWFWHB day. It's celebrated every 29th of February. They are really disappointed because on the 29th of February they never get any coverage as everyone else is too busy talking about leap year and how the babies born that day are going to celebrate their birthdays the following year.

However, I have heard that next leap year the name will be changed to NMRPLWM day (National Miscellaneous Religion Practicing Lever Wrapping Meteorologists day) in order not to exclude any other religions and to finally substitute Weather Forecaster with the now more hip Meteorologist.

You made that Rubber Eraser Day up. That can't be an official holiday.

Not made up, but wrong day!

Rubber Eraser Day

When : Always on April 15

Make no mistake, Rubber Eraser Day celebrates the invention of erasers. We all make mistakes. This day is designated to recognize and appreciate the value of that little plug (as manufacturers call them) that sits atop our pencils. When we make a mistake, they are the big "cover-up", make that eraser, of our booboo or faux pax. Just imagine how messy our documents would be without it!

Why not just call it "Eraser Day"? There's two reasons. The first erasers were made of rubber. Today, they are made of rubber, or vinyl. Secondly, in Great Brittain, they are formally called "rubbers".

In the world of erasers, two men are prominent. Joseph Priestley discovered the eraser in 1770, using pieces of rubber imported from Brazil. Then in 1858, Hyman Lipman of Philadelphia, Pa., patented the pencil with an eraser at the end.

Today's Quote: To err is human, an eraser is divine!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin of Rubber Eraser Day
There is a wealth of information about the discovery of the erasers. However, our research failed to discover who established Rubber Eraser Day.

We did discover some discrepancy about when this day is celebrated. Most references point to April 15th as Rubber Eraser Day. However, some sites proclaim April 13th as Rubber Eraser Day.

I think April 15th (Tax Day) is more appropriate!
