For those of you of the literary persuasion, this day comes from Mark Twain's story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". In reading some of the history of this day, I learned that the current record for a frog jump is 21 feet, 5 and 3/4 inches - held by Rosie the Ribeter! That's pretty athletic - far surpassing the record at the NFL combine and far better than an average high school girl long jumper. The former is done with a standing start and the latter with a running start.
If frog legs, either jumping or cooked, are not your cup of tea, it's also National Apple Pie Day. Get you some a la mode and chow down. Yummmm.
