Here's some of TODAY's holidays that maybe slipped your mind ...
Bowdler's Day - "A day to remember the prudish medical doctor, Thomas Bowdler. Bowdler gave up the practice of medicine and undertook the cleansing of the works of Shakespeare by removing all the words and expressions he considered to be indecent or impious. His Family Shakespeare, in 10 volumes, omitted all those words "which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family." So offensive was his censorship that his name became synonymous with self-righteous expurgation, and the word bowdlerize has become part of the English language."

Day of the Five Billion Anniversary - In1989, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) recommended that 11 July be observed as World Population Day. An outgrowth of the Day of Five Billion, celebrated on 11 July 1987, the Day seeks to focus attention on the urgency and importance of population issues, particularly in the context of overall development plans and programmes, and the need to find solutions for these issues. In 2000, world population stood at 6.06 billion, and was growing by 78 million a year. The United Nations estimates that there will be between 7.3 billion and 10.7 billion people in 2050, with 8.9 billion the most likely projection.
