Bagels, Wikipedia, and Potholes: Thursday's Quirky Holiday Trio

National Bagel Day honors the beloved kosher carbohydrate that Polish-Jewish immigrants introduced to the United States over a century ago. Whether you're team cream cheese, team butter, or a purist who keeps it plain, today's the day to indulge.

International Wikipedia Day marks the 25th anniversary of the world's go-to online encyclopedia. That's right—a quarter century of rabbit-hole research and late-night fact-checking.

National Pothole Day reminds us to stay vigilant on the roads and appreciate the crews who fill those pesky craters.
