Chaos Never Dies Day

Feel like your life sometimes spirals into a chaotic mess? Then Chaos Never Dies Day on November 9 is the holiday for you.

This made-up holiday encourages people to realize that chaos is part of life and that it will never die. So instead of getting hassled by it, just take a deep breath and let go of things that create chaos in your life on this day.

Chaos Never Dies Day is also known as National Chaos Never Dies Day in the United States.

How to Celebrate?

• Take the day for yourself and do things that de-stress you. Pack your lunch and go for a picnic in the park with your loved ones.
• Watch a feel good movie or read a book.
• Take a nap in the middle of the day and remember chaos never dies, so it can wait to hassle you for one more day.

Did You Know…

…that chaos theory, which is the study of dynamic systems can be applied to many fields of study including mathematics, biology, meteorology and philosophy?

Does anyone remember the Swatch, a watch made in Switzerland? Thank god Croatia didn't come up with the idea first. Just imagine if someone were to ask you what time is it? "Oh pardon me while I look at my crotch."

Guy calls in to his Boss:
Worker: I can't come to work today. I'm sick
Boss: Oh yea! What's wrong with you now?
Worker: I have anal glaucoma.
Boss: What the hell is that?
Worker: I just can't see my ass working today.

While visiting a friend in the hospital, a young man notices several pretty nurses, each one of them wearing a pin designed to look like an apple.

“What does the pin signify?” he asks one of them.

“Oh! Nothing,” she says with a chuckle, “we just use it to keep the doctors away.”

My son and I were checking out 
a house he was interested in buying. When the owner came to the door, she looked at me and said, “Larry? 
I know you. We went to school 
together. I’m Elaine. Don’t you 
recognize me?”

I drew a complete blank. She took out our old yearbook and showed me her graduation picture—still nothing. “Let’s look at your 
picture,” she said.

She flipped the pages until she came to me.

Under my photo I 
had written, “Elaine, I will never 
forget you.”
