National Puppy Day-- A special day to celebrate the magic and unconditional love puppies bring to our lives.

Read: The Dogist Puppies
-- The follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Dogist, is a beautiful, funny, and endearing look at puppies. Bringing his singular eye and sensibility to photographing puppies from birth to age one, Elias Weiss Friedman, aka The Dogist, captures hundreds of fuzzy faces to love and little furry bodies to covet. The Dogist Puppies is a celebration of oversize puppy paws and floppy puppy ears, puppies getting belly rubs and puppies unsure, exactly, of what that tail thing is for. Puppies at play, puppies worn out from playing. Litters of puppies with their mom, and puppies with their human equivalents — children. Puppies in fancy outfits, and those poignant puppies having to wear the
cone of shame.

Near Miss Day (1989)
- On March 23, 1989, an asteroid the size of a mountain, came within 500,000 miles of a collision with Earth. In interstellar terms, it was a near miss. Had it collided with the Earth, it would have left a devastating crater the size of Washington, D.C. Its effect on the planet would have been catastrophic.
National Chip and Dip Day
- Celebrates America's favorite snack duet. If you're holding a party, it is almost certain chips and dips are on the snack list. Even if you don't have a party, you can celebrate in the evening with a bag of chips and your favorite dip.
World Meteorological Day (1950)
- Marks the anniversary of the World Meteorological Organization's establishment on March 23, 1950 - which provides information such as weather forecasts and mean temperature readings worldwide.
Dixie Cup Invented (1912)
- Celebrate the Dixie Cup was invented on March 23rd, 1912. The history of the Dixie Cup began when Lawrence Luellen first became interested in an individual paper drinking cup in 1907. The object was to dispense a pure drink of water in a new, clean, and individual drinking cup. In the years leading up to the 20th century, everyone drank at the public water barrel, well, pump, or spigot with a communal tin cup or common dipper. This sharing by both healthy and sick alike often was the source for spreading germs and disease.
Liberty Day/Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death Day (1775)
- Anniversary of Patrick Henry's powerful speech spoken March 23, 1775, for arming the Virginia militia at St. John's Church, Richmond, VA.
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
OK Day (1839)
- It started one day in 1839 when a few newspaper editors were joking around.
They had a lot of abbreviations they were using and made up on the spot and thought they were terrifically funny,Allan Metcalf says.
And OK was an abbreviation for 'All Correct.'
