Happy National Chip & Dip Day!

And Melba Toast Day! And National Puppy Day! and Near Miss Day!

"On March 23, 1989 an asteroid named 1989 FC with a diameter about 0.3 miles and a kinetic energy of over 1,000 one-megaton hydrogen bombs passed within 430,000 miles of the Earth. This asteroid was not discovered until it had passed its point of closest approach, and only after calculating backwards its orbital path. Since then several other celestial bodies of similar sizes have been measured as coming within 62,000 miles of Earth."
Nobody noticed until it had passed by, and Near Miss Day was born.
And Whatever Else Stupid Shit We Can Think Of Day!

Man.  How much would it suck if today was your birthday? Would anyone even notice?
