What’s Wacky Today?

Today is “Lucky Penny Day”:
I feel so strongly about the power in the lowly penny that I wrote and published an article about it, CLICK HERE. How you you respond when you see a penny on the ground? It says a lot about you and your financial well being; whether you think they are “lucky” or you don’t.

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?

In 1785 Benjamin Franklin invents bifocals. South Carolina is the eighth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1788 and the gangsters Bonnie (Parker) and Clyde (Barrow) are killed by Texas Rangers.

Do you or your business celebrate a special day in history? It’s only $5 to tell the world here, on that day! You also be emailed a Wacky Certificate that states that this has been published in Wacky Day which you can print and frame. Enter “reason wacky” such as an anniversary, or birthday, years in business, then enter the date, and click on “add to cart” to purchase. Please order up to 2 weeks ahead so we’re sure to be able to publish it.

1928 Rosemary Clooney, singer

1933 Joan Collins, actress and author

If today is the day of your birth, you are pretty smart; also your friends tell you that you are “high-strung”. You are a perfectionist which creates stress in your life. You spend money on things that you don’t really need. You should be a speaker, teacher or comedian and you have a tough time “growing up”.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
Ben Franklin.
