Feliz Cinco de Mayo
Happy Mexican Independence Day!
Wait, Cinco de Mayo isn't Mexico's independence day? Oh, well it doesn't really matter to non-Mexicans. Whatever the significance of Cinco de Mayo, it's just another excuse for Americans to drink.
So, I hope you all have a fun and safe time tonight. Oh, and in case you are curious about the significance of Cinco de Mayo, it commemorates Mexico's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This is celebrated because Mexico was outnumbered by the better trained and better equipped French army, yet still managed a victory.
There you go. A little education before you have your margaritas and tequila. Enjoy.
