The Eurovision Month

@johnlinn LET'S A GOOOO

@Player42 Same here.

LLaP

In the Netherlands, of course, May 4th is a day on which the entire country observes two minutes of silence to commemmorate all civilians and Dutch armed forces who've died in wars and peacekeeping missions since WWII.
Of course, I'm bad with calendars, and apparently hearing "May the 4th be with you" and responding "Oh hey, two minutes of silence tonight, I almost forgot, thanks" is somewhat confusing to other people.

@ZeConster being that Star Wars is a multi generation war where whole plantets get destroyed and a whole religion was genocided. Two minutes of silence doesn't seem out of place.
Although two minutes of silence should be observed by real life people who lost their lives and not fictional ones

@ZeConster May 4th in Denmark. White candles in the windows to commemorate the 5 dark years between 1940 and 1945.

Canada always gets the dates wrong. :P

BTW, where is Brother (or Sister) Taiwan??

Could someone explain the significance of May 4? I'm aware of Cinco de Mayo.

@westofEden it's a silly 'holiday" to celebrate Star Wars "May the force be with you" so because "May the 4th" sounds similar people made it a "holiday"

@westofEden It works in English.

"May the Force be with you" sounds like "May the fourth be with you."

I think Canada just doesn't know the date

@BinBin I think it's a joke about how USA goes Month/Day and Canada goes Day/Month first contact is April 5th
So both US and Canada are using 5/4 only with month and day switched

Another bogus celebration day created by ...murica side of world ;)

So we're just disregarding Mexico today?


((Yes, yes, I know... it's really a holiday that was celebrated in the US, California specifically, and then the beer companies whipped it up into something big in the 40s... and now it's its own thing...))

I have this calendar on my wall it's on this picture right now
