That's becauise you missed awareness awareness awareness day.
 
April 25th is Penguin Day! Why does Peng get his own day?
 
Oh! February 22 was World Thinking Day and I missed it.
 
I can't see the site. I guess my IP isn't aware of it.

Is awareness awareness day coupled to awareness awareness day?

Give me a few years and I'll try to come up with a non - linear theory of awareness of awareness.

:frown:

Just ran into an old acquaintance who claimed he'd just been released from jail.

4 years... :frown:

I asked; "Oh my god! 4 years! That's like being a 16 year old! So much spare time! What books did you read?!"

He said :frown: ;"I've never read a book. But I did pace a lot"

:frown:

Which of course, makes me aware of the fact that my non-incarcerated acquaintances who've inherited incredible amounts of $$$ and have been about as productive as the crackhead above keep pointing and laughing at me for being such a loser.

hmmm...

Perhaps Rumi was right about the turtle and scorpion...

AFAIK the nonlinearity is measured in Dilberts.

Why not just be philosophically correct and call it what it is, Meta-awareness day...

Oops, I forgot, this is not a philosophically correct site. Sorry, my mistake...:redface:

What?! You're telling me that making up random unfalsifiable theories about totally non - empirical garbage is not useful? How dare you sir! I said how dare you!

It looks like nobody cared enough to create an Apathy Awareness Day though.

We could try pessimism, but that never works.

If we recall that Aristotle set back science and logic for centuries (at least until the actual Newton came along), then I don't think that this is a bad thing.

Wow! I like March.

It's Black Hole Awareness Month. It's also Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

It's Irish American History Month. It's also Help Fight Liver Disease Month.

It's Moustache Month, so quit shaving, guys!

Best of all, it's Caffeine Awareness Month. We get to drink lots of coffee!

This is a borderline anti-crackpot statement.
