Such a strange day.  Hitler's b'day, Columbine, all this urban legend about pot smoking.  The kids at school were saying something about the holocaust.  I don't know what this date represents.

I never knew anything about the pot aspect until I moved here, and I still don't know the history/etymology of it.  But last night Powers was sitting in for Big Rick, and his 'weekend salute' started, as always, with "Smoke Two Joints" but then he rounded it out with "One Toke Over The Line", "Legalize It" & "Rainy Day Women #12 & #35".  

He didn't explain either, just said "Happy 4/20 Fogheads!"

FWIW, here's the Wiki version:

and Geoff, Monday (4/16) was Holocaust Remembrance Day.
