Bastille Day is the common name given in English-speaking countries to the national day of France, which is celebrated on 14 July each year. The French National Day is the anniversary of Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a turning point of the French Revolution, as well as the Fête de la Fédération which celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790. Celebrations are held throughout France. The oldest and largest regular military parade in Europe is held on 14 July on the Champs-Élysées in Paris in front of the President of the Republic, along with other French officials and foreign guests.
HOROSCOPE: Though you are covered with pink fur, have a soft red rubber nose, and utter four simple phrases, you are by no means suitable for children.
HOW-TO: Avoid/Survive a Shark Attack, Speak French
JOKE: A shark is teaching his kid how to eat humans and he says "Look son, first you swim full force at the human but at the last second, you turn away. Then you swim at him full force again, but again at the last second you swim away. Then you can go back and eat the human." The son looks confused and asks, "But dad, why can't we just go eat the human the first time?" Dad replies "Well, you can but why would you want to eat him when he's still full of shit?"
