Celebrate National Train Your Brain, Yorkshire Pudding, No Bra Day, Curves, Emergency Nurses, Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work/School, and Stop Bullying Day.
Also Happy Birthday to The Navy. With only two ships and a crew of eighty men, the Continental Navy was born on October 13, 1775. The decision of the Continental Congress set the Continental Navy on course to carry arms to the British army, not to defend against it. However, these two ships and crew represent the birth of the United States Navy.
Throughout the Revolutionary War, their importance grew. Today, the United States maintains 40 naval bases across the country, including the world’s largest Naval Station Norfolk, in Norfolk, Virginia.
Below the sea, submarines became a part of the Navy during World War II. While experiments began in the late 1800s and during the Civil War, they did not become a large part of the Navy inventory until World War II. At that point, subs became necessary for surveillance and rescue, even though they were also armed.

Ever ask yourself "What day is it?" It might be because you like your routine.
In a new survey, 63% of people say they "frequently" have to ask what day it is with 51% saying it's because their days are so similar. And 81% say their days have become more repetitive during the last 18 months.
20% of people admit to regularly drifting through life without giving any thought to what they're actually doing. And 54% would be happy to experience the same day over and over like in "Groundhog Day" if it was their perfect day.
Some of the daily routines that people say they do on autopilot include eating, showering, getting dressed, cooking, cleaning, and going for a walk.
This all puts me in the mind for this.

"Hellraiser" is getting a reboot for Hulu and they're bringing a female take to the Pinhead character. CLIVE BARKER is returning as a producer and JAMIE CLAYTON from "The L Word: Generation Q" is your new Pinhead.
Clive said, quote, "Having seen some of the designs, they pay homage to what the first film created, but then take it to places it's never been before.
"This is a 'Hellraiser' on a scale that I simply didn't expect. What excites me is their desire to honor the original even as they revolutionize it for a new generation."
