Create a Vacuum Day just might leave you in an empty void. We found no factual information or records about this day. So, we can only speculate to its cause..........

Theory #1:  A hard working housewife, frustrated over her vacuuming chores, declared a day to commemorate the chore of vacuuming. The hole in this theory is that the day would likely be simply called "Vacuum Day" or "No Vacuuming Day". Why include the word "Create" in the title? This led us to........

Theory #2: A (mad!?) scientist created this day to celebrate the creation of a vacuum during laboratory work. But, isn't this routine scientific work!? We think so. Therefore, it led us to..............

Theory#3: Someone desperately in need of a simpler life, conceived this day. They wanted to create a vacuum that would suck all of the daily work, chores and clutter out of their life. If only for one day, they would be freed to enjoy the simple life of leisure. Now, here's a theory that really makes sense for today!  However you choose to commemorate this day, we hope it's a good one!

Thank a Mailman Day is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who delivers your mail. After all, they are there six days a week. The reliable postal worker is always there doing their job, regardless of the weather. They are a hardy lot. You'll find some mail carriers on walking routes, wearing shorts in all but the coldest of winter days.

There is no universally agreed biological definition of dreaming. General observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness. Participant-remembered dreams during non-REM sleep are normally more mundane in comparison. During a typical lifespan, a human spends a total of about six years dreaming (which is about 2 hours each night). It is unknown where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple portions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind.

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a psychedelic tryptamine. Dimethyltryptamine is widely regarded to be the most powerful hallucinagenic drug known to man. It is generally extracted from plants. DMT is normally either smoked in it's pure form, or taken orally as part of a drink called ayahuasca.

DMT's effects are more bizarre than can possibly be described by human language.

Reports often include: transportation to other planes of existence, contact with non-human entities, profound spiritual experiences, and open-eye hallucinations of impossibly complex geometric displays. Surprisingly however, DMT is widely unheard of, even among the psychedelic community. Visions are similiar to the artwork on our site, which where drawn by a shaman Pablo Amaringo. These where his visions during ritual ceremonys using ayahuasca.
The first art of mankind, in the painted caves and rock-shelters of southwest Europe and South Africa, dates back to the time of the great change. Why do these ancient paintings, tens of thousands of years old, depict beings of a kind that are never found in nature – strange and eerie hybrids with the heads of animals and the bodies of humans?

Every human being has DMT in their body.

It is thought that DMT is produced by the pineal gland, located in the center of your brain. The pineal gland itself has historically been shrouded in mystery. It has been called "The Seat of the Soul" by renaissance philosophers, and "The Third Eye" by Tibetan monks. In certain species of reptiles, the pineal gland is an actual light sensing eye, with a cornea, retina, and lens. It has been suggested that the pineal gland releases dimethyltryptamine during sleep (partially in response to low light levels) and that DMT plays a major role in visual dreaming, as DMT levels in the brain are higher during REM sleep. DMT levels in the brain are also higher than usual during birth and death. It is also theorized that spontaneous, natural DMT releases are responsible for near death experiences, natural mystical states, and even reports of alien abduction. Dr. Rick Strassman (born 1952 in Los Angeles, California, United States [1]) began the first new human research with psychedelic, or hallucinogenic, drugs in the United States in over 20 years. These studies investigated the effects of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an extremely short-acting and powerful psychedelic produced by the human brain and an active ingredient in ayahuasca, an entheogenic brew consumed by Latin American indigenous peoples as part of religious ceremonies. During the project's five years, he administered approximately 400 doses of DMT to 60 human volunteers. This research took place at the University of New Mexico's School of Medicine in Albuquerque, where he was tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry. Strassman has conjectured that when a person is approaching death, the pineal gland releases DMT, thus accounting for much of the imagery reported by survivors of near-death experiences.

Hey, today is everything it's quacked up to be. Lame Duck Day is set aside to give recognition to people whose tenure in a position is running out.

Okay, so you are probably thinking that a "lame duck" is a duck with some sort of injury. If only that were the reason for toady! Rather, a "Lame Duck" by human, definition is a person who is in a position of some kind, and will soon be "shown the door". The best example is an incumbent politician who lost in the November elections. They usually remain in office until the beginning of January. It also applies to leaders, managers, etc, who are retiring or whose term of office is up.

During the interim period, a Lame Duck is usually far less effective, and frequently ineffective. After all, loyalties will soon shift. It's impossible to rally the troops to one more cause or project.

On Lame Duck Day... 

If you are a Lame Duck: Enjoy those final days. Reflect upon you successes, and the joys and rewards the position provided to you. Kick back a little and have some fun today, and in the remaining days.

If you know a Lame Duck: Supporters should provide recognition and support. Non-supporters can cut the Lame Duck a little slack today. They will soon be gone.

If you are a duck and you are lame, seek medical attention.

No, Women may have been allowed to stand for election then, but they were not given the right to vote until 1920. It's the 19th amendment to the US constitution.
