January 12th
The Roman festival of Compitalia honors the Lares and Manes, household gods. The Compitalia and the Feralia are part of the Mania. Mania is the goddess referred to as the Mother or Grandmother of Ghosts. The Romans celebrate the Compitalia on the 12th of January and also the 6th of March. Loaves of bread are fashioned in the shape of men and called Maniae. Woolen effigies of men and women are dedicated to the goddess Mania and hung at the doors of all the houses in Rome in the hope that, in her rounds through the city, she will accept the effigies for the inmates of the house and so spare the living from death for another year.

I really want to answer the question about what the strangest thing that's ever happened to me is, but I can't think of anything.
How do you make a kleenex dance? Blow a little boogie into it! It's my favorite bad clean joke.
My favorite bad joke ~ Why do women use Dial soap? Because Dial spelled backwards means happiness.
@Broom_Service - It took me a hilariously looong time to get that joke.
@heidenkind - *shakes head slowly from side to side* *giggles* Did you need to write it backwards to get it? If not... then you're doing better than some people I've told that joke to.
@Broom_Service - I got it. I groaned. That is a bad joke.
@Jaynebug - Oy! That's sooooo old! lol
@harmony0stars -
I told you it was a bad joke... 
@Broom_Service - Well, I didn't have to write it out....
@heidenkind - Good to know.
It's a bad joke but I still get a kick from it. (There I go... showing my age again. *plucks yet another gray hair from my head*)
@Broom_Service - You know, for every one you pluck, two more grow out (that's what my mom tells me, anyway).
@heidenkind - Yeah, I've heard that. It's a good thing that I like my gray hair then, right?
@Broom_Service - What grey hair?
@heidenkind - How kind of you.
It is more silver... you can always tell the ones that it hasn't blinded yet.
