Stars, Signs, and Spring Surprises: It's Holiday Calendar Pop Quiz Time!
The first day of spring may be the headliner, but the calendar today is bursting with quirky observances, including National Bockbeer Day, National Macaron Day, National Ravioli Day, Hufflepuff Pride Day, and the always mysterious National Snowman Burning Day. Jerry's personal favorites on today's calendar, though, lean a little more cosmic.
Universal Alien Abduction Day invites everyone to dive into UFO lore, share strange sightings from the past, and let their imaginations run wild about who, or what, might be getting beamed up next. And if that's not your thing, National Bibliomania Day is here for the book lovers who have stacks upon stacks and wouldn't have it any other way.
The real star of today's segment, however, is International Astrology Day, celebrated every year on the first day of spring. To honor the occasion, Jerry brought two stellar astrology questions to the pop quiz, and they are trickier than they look.
