    Horny Werewolf

    I have to be careful about where I celebrate HorWereDay because I JUST ended an eight-month relationship. On a fairly good note, I think, and we've maintained genial contact, but nevertheless, I'm THAT ASSHOLE who splits up with you a week before Valentine's Day.

    I will now be pelted with armed bear traps and poisoned arrows, yes?

    @Alan:

    It's a good time for breakups. I've been dumped twice right before V-Day.

    Also:



    Cheers!

    Well that'll certainly teach me to speed-read sentences.

    Ordered flowers to the wife's office, and for the second year in a row they made her come out and get them. First it was 1800flowers.com, now proflowers.com.

    I think I'll be delivering them myself next year... dressed as cupid, perhaps?

    In any case, I love my wife. For she knows me well:

    I know this is just for fun - or I hope so, anyway - but I've wandered into the habit of fact-checking statements which surprise me, attempt to educate me, or otherwise grab my attention in some way. I do this at work because I'm a terrible employee, and I occasionally feel bad about how much time I spend on it. If you're just here for the laughs, and don't care for a history lesson, skip to the image below and then be done with my post. I don't blame you; I might do the same thing on another day.

    So then, if you're still reading, here's what I learned today: the St. Valentine's Day we celebrate and Lupercalia share a historical date. Lupercalia was banned by the same pope who instituted this St. Valentine's day. That's about where the connection ends. Valentine's Day had no particular association with romance (or fertility, or anything aside from remembering another dead Christian) until Chaucer wrote a poem referencing a completely different St. Valentine's day (which was celebrated May 2). A bunch of other people ran with the idea of a holiday for romance, a bunch of fake history was written, some bad scholarship and corporate make-believe designed to sell products reinforced it all, and here we are. Thanks to Wikipedia and the History Channel for aiding and abetting my research(although Wikipedia was rather more detailed, specific, and enlightening). The Lupercalia "connection" is tenuous at best, and the legends concerning St. Valentine and the origins of the holiday are part of that fake history, bad scholarship, and corporate make-believe. Here ends the history lesson.

    By way of apology for being a trolling spoilsport (or, alternatively, a snot-nosed know-it-all) in my second post ever on these forums, here's an oldie (but a goodie):

    An Explosm.net comic. I couldn't find the comic number, or an actual link to it.
