Happy Festival of Popular Delusions Day

[owlmoose]

Yes, really. Isn't it beautiful?

Unfortunately the name is more appealing than the reality -- the "holiday" was first "celebrated" in Germany, on June 5th, 1945, to recognize the "popular delusion" that Germany would one day conquer the world. But I'm still happy that a commemorative day with this name exists.

Your weird holiday reporter, checking in.

I nominate the delusion that creation "science" is a valid alternative to evolution.

Agreed! Also its corollary, intelligent design.

And I nearly forgot:

* racial purity
* ethnic purity

Ooh, good one. Especially when coupled with the belief that it's a perfectly good idea to teach creationism in schools.
