Oh, BTW, Valentine’s Day was not originally intended for what its used for today. It was originally ordained by the Roman Catholic Church to commemorate the life of St. Valentine (hence the full name St. Valentine’s Day), a legendary and possibly fictitious saint who was martyred. Conflicting accounts put his martyrdom in Africa and in Rome, at the hands of Emperor Claudius.
The day was originally the Feast of St. Valentine in which the medieval world would remember the martyrs of those slain in Ancient Rome. The feast was removed from the Roman Catholic Church calendar in 1969 in an attempt to remove saints viewed by some as being of purely legendary origin.

You come up with the most off topic things sometimes AP.
For Valentines day I didn’t nothing out of the ordinary, I completly forgot it was even valentines day until about 8 at night. When I looked at the calendar. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |
