It’s National Ranking Day!
Okay it’s not but if we told you that, you’d probably believe it’s real because there’s essentially a plethora of random National Days EVERY DAY of the year for EVERYTHING. They range from being wholesome to totally obscure to so incredibly niche that you wonder why it got it’s own National Day to begin with. That’s kind of the beauty and chaos of it all and we are here today to shoutout the strangest/silliest out of the bunch! So join Tuong La and our favourite idiots at Pull the Plug Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Justin Briner as they flip through the obscure depths of the calendar and to rank Top 5 Weird or Silly National Days.

Ground Rules
- These are not designated national holidays that are observed by a government entity (ie Christmas Day, New Years Day, etc.)
- Any day goes as long as someone out there has claimed that “this date of the year is this national day and the reason is __”. Not something that someone made on the spot and is at least archived on most national day data bases out there on the internet.
- We aren’t going with the “weirdest or silliest” when it comes to ranking. Weird or Silly is just something we use to nominate it on the list and from there we are going with the ones that are most interesting, funny, or one that we would want to observe every year.
