That there’s a day devoted to making a grassroots effort to raise awareness of epilepsy? It’s called Purple Day and I had no idea it existed until now.

Here’s another interesting fact. There is a saint for horse theft: Saint Castulus. His patrons include shepherds, wildfires, drowning, and cowherds. His life did not end peacefully.

And now I know how the word “gerrymander” was invented.

Did you know that March 26, 1939, marked the beginning of the final offensive of the Spanish Civil War?

Well, it did. According that source.

And did you know that Nancy Pelosi was born on March 26? In Baltimore, Maryland.

And here’s a quote from Nancy:

“The President must be held accountable. No one is above the law.”
Nancy Pelosi, born 26th March, 1940.

And here’s my source for that! 🙂

And here’s a picture of the moon that came up while I was searching for trivia-themed photos. 🙂

And a reminder that Spring is here. In the Northern Hemisphere.

Taken by me on an iPhone.

PS: No AI was used in creating this post. At least not the written part. Or the photo I took. 🙂
