4. ODD HOLIDAYS HELD TODAY: Today is Worship of Tools Day. There are few things that the male population worships more than his tools. To some, a tool is a natural extension of their arm. So, Worship of Tools Day is a logical day of celebration. And, it's definitely a guy thing. Please note, however, there are more than a few ladies who love to work with their hands, and find today to be an important holiday.
