Today is the 271st day of the year, unless of course it’s leap year, then it’s the 272nd day of the year. There is no way today can be a boring day. Every day has something special in it, just read below to see what today has to offer.
Ask a Stupid Question Day
Although there is no such thing as a stupid question. many are too embarrassed or nervous to ask questions. Perhaps you’ve asked a stupid question and then asked yourself why you asked a stupid question? If you asked the question on this date, it’s okay, it’s officially “Ask a Stupid Question Day” so go ahead and ask that stupid question, you know you’ve been dying to ask and not feel stupid asking. If anyone tells you it’s a stupid question just play along and tell them that it’s okay because today is Ask a Stupid Question Day.
Credit for this specific “holiday” goes to the 1980’s when teachers were trying to get kids to ask more questions in school. What better way to get kids to ask questions than to create “Ask a Stupid Question Day”? By the way, if September 28 falls on a weekend teachers would celebrate it on the last school day of the month.
Celebrity Birthdays
For all the Moon Unit Zappa fans out there (and I know there are a lot of you that just don’t want to admit it), today is her birthday. Moon Unit shares this day with other famous celebrities including Hilary Duff, Brigitte Bardot, Ed Sullivan and Frankie Jonas.
Jewish Holiday
Rosh Hashanah begins tonight at sunset and lasts through nightfall on September 30 th .
Days Until Next Year
If this year hasn’t had much to offer you, you only have 94 days left until a new year starts.
Shopping Days Left Until Christmas
If you’re not done with your Christmas shopping it’s important to note that as of today you only have 88 days left to get it done. Make your list and check it twice.
So now that you know that today doesn’t have to be boring, gather up all of those questions you’ve been dying to ask and go find your answers. Remember, there are no stupid questions so today is the day to ask them all. Now if I could just remember what I did with my list.
