The one with the Valentines
Saturday, February 14, 2009

Its Valentines day. Being a total geek I am, I found out how Valentines Day was created.

Valentines Day, was named after Saint Valentine, whose feast day lie on 14 Feb. Who interestingly enough, became a saint not because he was a man of love. No... That title is reserved only for Austin Powers. He was a saint because he was killed for his religion, a maryt of Christianity. Now... Im no genius. But how does one link, the bloody, hateful execuetion of a priest, with the Love machine that is Valentines Day?

Here is another fun fun fact. In South Korea, on the 14 Feb, Women give men chocolates as a token of love. On 14 March, Men reprocicate the appreciation by giving non-chocolate sweets. However on 14 April. Those who did not recieve any gifts, head to Chinese Restaurants and eat black noodles to mourn their single life.
Oh that is cruel....
