Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday January 19, 2009

 
 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a United States holiday marking the birthdate of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King's birthday, January 15. It is one of four United States federal holidays to commemorate an individual person.

 

King was the chief spokesman of the nonviolent civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. He was assassinated in 1968.

  The Red Hat Prop Bet
 

Prop bets can be fun, funny, amusing, and profitable. In case you're not familiar with the term, a prop bet is a crazy bet. Think back to when you were a kid and another kid said, "I double-dog dare you to eat that jar of paste - or that bug," and you do it because you were double-dog dared and after doing it, you became a legend. A prop bet consists of grown ups who do things just as dumb as the childhood dares........
