Episode 34


Today is World Press Freedom Day, National Teacher Day and the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. So thank your teachers for being able to write a letter to the editor -- which will be published. And please use condoms.

Today is also the feast day of Saints Antonia and Alexander who believed it was better to burn than marry (or whore) -- but were granted martyrdom for their pains.

And today is James Brown's 73rd birthday. Give it up, or turn it aloose!

And in related almanacing news, today I turned 34. Not really moved by that number so much. 33 is a fun number, but there seems to be something truly dreary and staid about 34. Does anyone know any fun 34 facts?

According to Slashfood.com:

During the week, 34% of American diners include alcohol with their meals.

What's more fun than drinking on a weekday?
