International gras day:

A day on which everyone refrains from cutting his lawn, thus generating additional biomass and bringing the concentration of athmospheric carbon dioxide down by one whopping microgramm per cubic meter.

Sounds to me like a Mardy Grass

Maybe we could just burn some grass on that day? ;)

Well, we already have pie day (3-14) & talk like a pirate day (9-19, I think- in any case, it's also Chris Moore's b'day)-
in fact, if you look at MSN's on-line greeting cards, you'll find a wacky holiday for every day...

Yes, but our days are designed with absurd but dubiously practical effects for humanity and the planet.

Egon.

Are you a pelican?

Do you know why pelicans stand on one leg?
















Coz if they folded up the other one they'd fall down.

Lemon cake... yumm.

Lemon cake........yellow cake........ok geologists. What comes next?

Jellystone?

Lemon Merangue Pie?

Ok, now we need a 'World Lemon Merangue' pie day.

With crunchy crusts and lots of whipped cream.

The next day is to be 'World merangu and whipped cream erotic fetishes day'.

World Clock Day: Everyone in the world does a clock imitation between 1200 and 1300 local time, thus forming a fantastic worldwide Mexican wave and testing current seismic theories.

They stand very still in the hallway and stick numbers all over their face?

I was thinking it would be more of an arm twirling exercise, but I am on the Wile E Coyote level of intelligence.

Ahhhhhhhh! there is an "l" in there. no need to get worried about your arm=twirling then.

Going back to the no cutting of grass day, I think we must have saved tonnes of carbon dioxide by maybe once a year cutting grass ^_^ As kids we had an old push mower, and were occasionally forced to try and cut grass with blades as sharp as hammers. I am not all that old, but we had no petrol-fueled mower at the time. I got a lot of exercise from running on the spot in a futile attempt at trying to push the damn thing an inch.

We've got one now - hoicked from my son - that is so light it does not cut the grass but bends it over so when you run over it with your feet you put a permanent crease in the grass blades. It then looks sort of manicured, until the next shower, which means about two weeks or so in this part of the world.

I did the laundry yesterday and it rained last night so dry weather in Adelaide for a bit.
