Since I liked seeing all the different "unusual" holidays that some of you featured in your avatars during October, I decided to extend this thru November. All of us know that, in the US, we celebrate Election Day, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving in November, but there are a jillion other holidays in November.

Here are a few November Celebrations to get you started......

American Diabetes Month
Family Stories Month
International Drum Month
National Peanut Butter Lovers Month
World Communication Week
National Geography Awareness Week
National Rad Tech Week
National Chicken Lady Day
National Common Sense Day
I Love To Write Day
Buy Nothing Day
National Flossing Day

So many Native American indigenous people are suffering from this disease so please help support the ADA.

Love your photo, Judi. Great smile!

Some of the holidays on Chris' list are just plain silly, but one is really confusing. Does anyone know what "Make your Own Head Day" stands for??????

Apparently... "This is a crafty day. It is very popular in grade schools, and art classes. In class, you can make your own head. Any medium will do. You can use clay, paper mache, draw or sketch your head. You can make a picture with paint, charcoal, or crayon. Be creative and add a hat to your head."

Looking at Chris' avatar now I at least know where the word dunce came from.

Thanks Terezia! hug

Never knew there was a history about the "dunce cap".
John Duns Scotus was a medieval Christian theologian and philosopher remembered mostly for his defense of the doctrine of Immaculate Conception (that is, that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was free of sin). A member of the Franciscan Order, Scotus taught in Oxford, Paris and Cologne (where he died), embraced Aristotelian philosophy and founded the branch of Scholasticism later called Scotism, a critical response to the teachings of Thomas Aquinas.

This well-respected but terribly oblique scholar felt that conical hats actually increased learning potential. Here's the theory -- knowledge is centralized at the apex and then funneled down into the mind of the wearer.
" He was widely praised in his day, but eventually fell out of intellectual favor. His "duns cap" was a pretty obvious target of derision and came to symbolize stupidity.

So the logic behind the dunce cap is that it makes slow pupils learn better, but it was later used to humiliate the wearer and motivate students to try harder.

Thanks for the info Chris. hug

Here's a thought....if a kid wears a dunce hat he should correct the teacher and say its a Duns Scotus hat.....and as long as he doesn't get the word Scotus mixed up with scrotum he should sound quite good....otherwise he'll have to explain what knowledge actually funnels from the scrotum to the head....
