National Race Your Mouse around the Icons Day

How would you describe an annual day named ‘Race Your Mouse around the Icons Day‘? Silly? Amusing? Maybe both?

Whichever way you describe it, let us participate in this day which is observed annually on 28 August.

Truth be told, we do this quite often without even realising it. How many times have clicked your mouse or moved your cursor when the computer seemed slow?

It is also known as ‘Race Your Mouse Day’ and is a copyrighted holiday created by Wellcat.com.

The purpose of this day is to provide a day to play with the mouse and cursor.

In essence it authorises everyone to show their impatience when they are working or playing on the computer.

If you are a professional at racing your mouse around the icons. you get to observe this wacky holiday every day.

For those of you who are not familiar with this holiday, here are some tips on how to celebrate today:

– Check whether the mouse needs to be replaced or upgraded and make sure it is clean

– Clean your existing mouse-pad or get a new one

– If you are in a cleaning mood, clean your whole computer

– Check for new games on the internet or play some online games

– Spend the whole day doing research on the internet on numerous subjects

– While working on the computer, eat crackers or drink coffee. Remember to be careful!

– You can post funny ecards or postings on Facebook to help create awareness for this funny holiday

– You can even write an article on other ways to celebrate this event and post it on the web
