August 22: Obvious Day (24-hour period to celebrate the recognition of things which are readily apparent)

• 1717 - Spanish troops land on Sardinia. Having forgotten the can opener, they promptly leave.
• 1939 - The Third Reich and the Nazis continue their march across Europe. This is bad.
• 1940 - As the Germans invade Belgium, a local looks up from his waffles and remarks "This seems somehow familiar."
• 1945 - Nazis defeated. This is good.
• 1948 - Jewish state of Israel founded in the predominantly Arab Middle East. This will later cause problems.
• 1966 - Captain Obvious is born. Doctor proclaims, "It's a boy," because the child has a penis.
• 1973 - Brutal, murderous dictator Augusto Pinochet takes control over Chile. "I bet the CIA is helping this guy," says a random intellectual just before being abducted by a group of soldiers in black helicopters.
• 2012 - People actually acknowledge that the Titanic was in fact not unsinkable.
