Does anyone have anything special planned?
I'm going to dig a big hole in my garden, pee in it then climb in. I might spend the whole day there, through til the morning. All heating the cheapest beans and hot dog parts in a rusting canteen. Then I might set off some nice fireworks next to my head and try my best to lose a finger or two to frostbite. What the hell's army day anyway? And, coincedentally I am bound to play some Call of Duty today, so I can at least pretend I'm doing the above. |

Towel Day? When's Towel Day -- 4/2?
Or would it be February 11th, the 42d day of the year?

Or would it be February 11th, the 42d day of the year? I'm not sure. I'm thinking either the 42nd day which is indeed Feb 11 or Feb 4 since most of the world writes it as 4/2. Although if an American started the idea it may very well be April 2. |

Be it that the square root of the tangent of the angle created by a pigeon dropping a stick next to a fence, on july 9th, makes 42... It's good enough. Oh and Jough... Really! Dear me. |

I actually learnt the phonetic alphabet a few years back. Doesn't take much effort, and if you spend any time giving details over the phone for work, it becomes so much easier to do it by standard.

There are actually several standards, but I always say Less with the Learning and More with the Linking. Okay, I don't always say that, but whatever. |

Well the NATO is the current military standard. At least according to some .mil site I found and my dad who was in the army. He also says pilots use NATO and still say "niner."
