Nothing Day is an "un-event" proposed in 1972 by columnist Harold Pullman Coffin and observed annually on January 16 since 1973, when it was added to ''Chase's Calendar of Events''. It is not actually a "National Holiday," as that requires an act of Congress. Its purpose is:
It is sponsored by Coffin's National Nothing Foundation, registered in Capitola, California. The third Monday of every January has subsequently been inaugurated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day which falls between the 15th and 21st. This means that one-in-seven January 16's now fall on a public holiday (e.g. Monday, 16th Jan 2012), effectively usurping the very nature of Nothing Day. In contrast, the Realist Society of Canada (RSC) has a religious holiday called THABS ( "There has always been something" Day, pronounced ). THABS is dedicated to the celebration of the "realization" that "if there was ever nothing, there would be nothing now". It is celebrated July 8 of each year.〔"The Realist Society of Canada Religious Holidays" http://www.realistsocietyofcanada.com/realism-holidays〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Nothing Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
