Editor's Note -- The Huffington Post claims International Dadism month is the weirdest holidays the Editor has ever heard of, but the Editor thinks International Tuba Day on May 6th is weirder.
... Today marks the beginning of one of the weirdest holidays you'll ever hear of: International Dadaism Month.
The declaration was made on December 27, 2005 in Lawrence, Kansas by then Mayor Dennis Highberger. In true Dada fashion, International Dadaism Month isn't a specific calendar month but instead a series of dates, chosen at random by rolling dice and pulling numbers out of a hat.

But don't worry, even if you are fluent in German, it still won't make any sense. "Karawane" |
