My Way Day is based on a famous American idiom, i.e., My way or the highway meaning of having the attitude of believing that one is always right and that anyone who doesn’t agree has no business dealing with it.

My Way (оригинал Frank Sinatra)

Я был собою

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case
of which I am certain.
I’ve lived the life that’s full,
I travelled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it… my way.
Regrets? I’ve had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all,
when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out,
I faced it all and I stood tall,
And did it my way.
I,ve loved, I,ve laughed and cried,
I,ve had my fill, my share of losing,
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think, I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way ..
Oh, no. Oh no, not me ..
I did it my way.
For what is a man? What has he got,
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels,
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.
Yes, it was my way.
Frank Sinatra : my way

National Hippo Day is commemorated on February 15 of every year. Hippopotamuses love water, which is why the Greeks named them the river horse. Hippopotamus or Hippo is the third-largest type of land mammal after elephants and rhinoceros. These mammals can be identified with wide-opening mouths revealing large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies and large size weighing the average of 1,500 kg. This hippopotamus lives near rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps and they are not territorial on land. They emerge at dusk to feed on grasses. The hippopotamus is aggressive, unpredictable and has attacked humans before. They are poached for their meat and ivory canine teeth.

There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” – Carl Sandburg

History of National Hippo Day

The reason behind the creation of National Hippo Day is still unknown. Robert F. Broussard introduced the American Hippo Bill, in 1910. This bill proposed $250,000 in funding from the federal government to import the hippopotamus from Africa to solve two problems at once: the meat shortage in the United States and the fast-growing plant-species called the Water Hyacinth invading Louisiana’s waterways. The bill failed by one vote and that kept hippo from coming to America. Hippopotamuses have been the subjects of various African folktales. According to a san story; the creator assigned each animal its place in nature. The hippos wanted to live in the water but were refused as they might eat all the fish. After begging and appealing, the hippos were allowed finally to live in the water conditions that they would eat grass instead of fish.
