    1. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
    2. Today is also the first day of May.

    Therefore your life is May, thus you will die in 31 days.

    Sucks to be you.

    It's a day when brave men like Jack O'Connor march out of Liberty Hall and drum up the spirit of violent revolution amongst the grovelling plebs against the evil fat-cat capitalists.

    Wtf is may day

    Off the top of my head it's an ancient northern hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday; it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. May Day is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. May Day falls exactly half a year from November 1, another cross-quarter day which is also associated with various northern European pagan and the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations.

    As Europe became Christianized the pagan holidays lost their religious character and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May Day, or were merged with or replaced by new Christian holidays as with Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and All Saint's Day. In the twentieth century, many neopagans began reconstructing the old traditions and celebrating May Day as a pagan religious festival again.
