Victoria Day (French: Fête de la Reine) is a Canadian Statutory Holiday celebrated on the Monday on or before May 24 in honour of both Queen Victoria's birthday and the current reigning Canadian Sovereign's birthday. Since 1901 the date of 24 May had been celebrated throughout the British Empire as Empire Day. An amendment to the Statutes of Canada in 1952 moved the holiday to the Monday before 25 May. However, over the decades the official date of the reigning Sovereign's birthday changed through various Royal proclamations. For Edward VII it continued on 24 May, but was 3 June for George V, 23 June for Edward VIII (their actual birthdays), and various days between 20 May and 14 June through George VI's reign as King of Canada. From 1953 Empire Day was made the date of Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday in Canada by annual Vice-regal proclamation, the link being made permanent in 1957. In 1958 Empire Day was renamed Commonwealth Day. In 1977 Commonwealth Day was moved to the second Monday in March, but Canadians continued to celebrate Victoria Day in May.

It's 4/20, the National Cannabis Consumption Awareness Day.
It's also the anniversary of this hilarious story:
Dubbed the Killer Rabbit incident by the media, Jimmy Carter's rabbit was a Swamp Rabbit that caught press imagination after trying furiously to board then-President of the United States Jimmy Carter's fishing boat on April 20, 1979.
Carter had gone on a solo fishing expedition in his hometown of Plains, Georgia when the rabbit approached his boat, "hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared and making straight for the president"[1], trying desperately to enter the boat, causing Carter to flail at the swimming creature with the oars from his boat.
Upon returning to his office, Carter found his staff disbelieving of his story, insisting that rabbits couldn't swim, or that they would never approach a person threateningly - however it was later confirmed that a White House photographer had in fact captured the incident on-camera.[2]
Press Secretary Jody Powell mentioned the event to Associated Press correspondent Brooks Jackson on August 28, 1979, who filed the story with the wire service the following day. The story PRESIDENT ATTACKED BY RABBIT was carried across the front page of the Washington Post, though the White House's refusal to release the photograph resulted in the newspaper using a cartoon parody of the Jaws poster labelled "PAWS" as its illustration.[1]
The White House still refused to release the photograph of the incident to the media, until it turned up during the Reagan administration and the story saw another revival.

420 day!!!!
Common misconception that it is related to police lingo for busting Pot Smokers. Not the case. The 4:20 was actually started in Marin County (near my home) by a group fo students who would meet every day after class under the bleachers at 4:20pm. Thats where it started!!!
Lord Shiva is the Hindu God that gave marijuana to humans for an enjoyable pasttime!
Happy 420!
(everyone else must be stoned - they forgot the interesting part...)

Note: Strictly speaking, the United States has no national holidays since each state designates holidays through the legislative process or by executive order. The United States Congress can legally designate holidays for federal employees and for the District of Columbia. The holidays listed above represent those federal holidays which are also observed by the majority of states

It's the Oompa Loompas Day of Reckoning, where they hold magnificent games akin to the ancient Greeks.
