It's Alaska Day! The day the Alaskans, people who were once Alaskans and people who would really like to be Alaskans celebrate the day that their fair state ceased being part of Russia and became part of the USA.
Also on the cards today is International Necktie Day (you can blame the Croatians for this one). The modern necktie was around by the time of the Thirty-Years War. Croatian soldiers wore their traditional knotted neckerchiefs and the Parisians -because they were Parisians- though it looks cool an made it a fashion statement.
