Holidays 2021-02-18

Holidays today are about appreciating your thumbs, airbourne cow-milking, drinking wine, crab-stuffed flounder, batteries, and the discovery of dwarf planet Pluto:

• Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day
• Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day
• Drink Wine Day
• National Battery Day
• Pluto Discovery Day
• Thumb Appreciation Day

On this date in 1930 a Guernsey cow named Nellie Jay was milked while flying on a plane. (This was probably more interesting when airplanes were new and doing anything in them was considered interesting.)

Also on this date, Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh.
