International Tongue Twister Day 2010

Today is the 311th day of the year.  There are 54 days remaining until the end of the year (48 days till Christmas).  At 2:00 a.m. this morning, Daylight Savings Time ends.  If your birthday is today, you are a Scorpio.

If you enjoy your tongue twisters, today, in Wisconsin, the 10th annual International Tongue Twister Contest will be held.  As a little associated trivia, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the hardest tongue-twister in the English language is “The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.” William Poundstone claims that the hardest English tongue twister is “The seething sea ceaseth and thus the seething sea sufficeth us.”

Today, the day that we "fall back" from Daylight Savings Time and get an extra hour is also Zero Tasking Day.  The premise is that we take that extra time to relax, take a break from hectic schedules, and re-energize.  Today is also National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day.

For all the football fans out there, this is week 9 of the NFL's 2010 season.  Beginning today, Apple iPhones will be sold in Target stores.  The ING New York City Marathon is today.
