So tomorrow is Put A Pillow On Your Fridge Day. Never heard of this before, but out of random curiosity has anyone else?

QuotePut A Pillow On Your Fridge Day is celebrated on the 29th of May each year, in Europe and the U.S.

The day is all about prosperity, good fortune, and having bit of fun along the way.

This bizarre holiday spans back to the early 1900's, where families would place a piece of cloth or linen within their larders.

The piece of cloth would have typically been torn from something kept in their bedroom, such as a blanket or night gown, before being put in their larder.

The families thought good fortune and prosperity would come from this as they believed placing a piece of cloth from their bedroom into the place where their food was kept bought about the possibility of plentiful food and rich fertility to their household.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

My facebook feed is usually full of posts by people celebrating some specific idiotic fabricated "day" but most of the time I don't pay attention. Not sure if I ever heard of this one.

Apparently May 29th is also "Biscuit Day" as I saw one post already in my feed  :lookingup:
