Mystery Object Hunt (May 22-28)

Day of the Day

It’s a special week of special days. Here’s what’s worth celebrating this week:

Monday 22 May – Sherlock Holmes Day, Accounting Day and Goth Day.
Never have three such concepts come together. Get out the eyeliner, the Netflix, and your tax returns because it’s gonna be wild.

Tuesday 23 May – Turtle Day
Flat cat? Wrong. Flat turtle? Yes! Turtle day is here, but we recommend paying attention to your favourite reptile more than just one day of the year, or it will definitely perish.

Wednesday 24 May – Tiara Day
An occasion for the queenly: Tiara Day! Ideally stick with the $2 shop versions or you’ll find that you are very much broke, and still not a princess.

Thursday 25 May – Towel Day
Towel Day is a tribute to Douglas Adams requiring you bring a towel with you everywhere you go. Preferably don’t wear a towel, as I might get in trouble. It’s also Wine Day (a US celebration I’m adopting) and Geek Pride Day today, so promote the drunken geek culture appropriately.

Friday 26 May – Dracula Day
If you still have your outfit from Goth Day then you’re in luck. Today is Dracula Day and the two cross over in many black-features and white-complexion ways. Also, every Friday lunchtime, 12-2pm, top floor Clubs and Socs, you’ll find people dancing the Lindy Hop; the perfect way to celebrate World Lindy Hop Day!

Saturday 27 May – Cellophane Tape Day
I never thought I’d say it… there’s really nothing special about today. Perhaps we could celebrate Cellophane Tape Day with the Americans?

Sunday 28 May – Amnesty International Day
Amnesty International Day! Educate yourself about the various people we share this planet with and be conscious of their rights as fellow human beings.
