Wellcat Herbs has created a unique niche for themselves by inventing crazy holidays. This is one. Lebanon, Pennsylvania was once the home office of the David Letterman show. The logic goes if one media icon could make Amish country home, why not the rest of Hollywood or Broadway? There was a 2010 Indy film called Lebanon, PA. Though the film was titled for the city, it was filmed elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Hardly seems fair!

Shower with a Friend Day, Ntl.: February 5

06:20 AM | -

Winter is the coldest and loneliest season of the year. With dwindling daylight and Valentine's Day at its heart, February can often leave people feeling somber. National Shower with a Friend Day was created to inject a bit of humor into the season, while serving to educate people on the benefits of showering in fresh, filtered water. Your body absorbs more chlorine through the skin and lungs while showering than while drinking tap water. This can irritate your lungs and have seriously unpleasant side effects over time. Chlorine strips protein from your skin and hair, leaving it dry and itchy. Adding a filter to your shower can greatly reduce the presence of chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and heavy metals from your water. Your skin will thank you. Your lungs will thank you and your hair will thank you!

Periodic Table Day (1863): February 7

06:20 AM | -

Periodic Table Day marks the anniversary of the publishing of the first periodic table of elements by English chemist John Newlands, February 7, 1863. His is distinctive because he was the first to categorize elements based upon atomic mass. Newlands' however, wasn't what we're familiar with today. That format would be created by Russian Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. He is the man who organized the tables in columns and rows based upon their atomic weight and the occasions of repetition of base elements. Like most science, the periodic table is an international affair. To reach the point of Newlands and Mendeleev, contributions from the French (1789, 1857, 1862) and Germans (1829, 1843) would add to the final product of an Englishman and a Russian. This event was first observed by David T Steineker.
