You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

May 23rd, according a random email I got today, is World Turtle Day.
One presumes that it is supported by a turtle, which is itself supported by a turtle, and so on, all the way down.
Either that, or it is a day to celebrate the inversion of dinghies.

Do we ever get a day to celebrate the four elephants who stand on the back of the world and support the world?
