July 17th is Yellow Pig Day

Yellow Pig Day originated in the 1960s when two math students from Princeton spent a long time obsessively analyzing the number 17. It seems that they went a little mad eventually, and decided to invent the concept of a yellow pig with 17 toes, 17 teeth, and so forth… Now Yellow Pig Day is an important part of the academic calendar, and is celebrated with cake, carols, parades and general revelry.
