Whether you're a proud bulldog owner or someone who has admired them from afar, today is their moment to shine.

Next, because the calendar has a sense of humor, April 21st is also National Surprise Drug Test Day, arriving the morning after 4/20. The irony practically writes itself.

And rounding out today's holiday trio, it's National Big Word Day, a celebration of expanding your vocabulary with long, complex, and impressively difficult words. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, all 34 letters of it, made an appearance, and yes, someone in the studio counted.
