Ah, Valentine's Day. The one day of the
year where most feel obligated to shower their significant others
with flowers and food and lingerie and folded pieces of paper and
candy that tastes like rejected classroom chalk. I mean, yeah, you
could do these things on any day of the week, but for some odd
reason, Valentine's Day is special.
Many of us think it's because guys like
Hallmark and Godiva invented the day just to increase profits. I
won't argue that they and other companies have certainly raked in
their fair share of the bucks, that's a bit too cynical a view about
this day... and I'm a cynic!
And as it is ever my joy in life to
educate my fellow human beings, come and take an ever so brief jump
into some of the hidden truths about Valentine's Day.
