Who Knew???
Sometimes, I feel like I celebrate insanity every day, but this is one day I can plead temporary insanity due to February 19 being the first day temporary insanity was accepted as a plea in court.
Daniel E Sickles, a New York congressman, was the first man to be acquitted of murder on grounds of temporary insanity on this day in 1859. Sickles crime? He shot and killed the man he accused of having an affair with his wife. That man just happened to be Washington, DC District Attorney Philip Barton Key, son of Francis Scott Key - the author of the 'Star Spangled Banner'.
Relax and go crazy today. You can always get back to normal tomorrow.
What will you do?
PS. Some of my 'suggestions' may seen perfectly normal things to do for many of you, these images are merely my interpretations of temporary insanity - I am sure you will have a multitude of alternative ideas and suggestions which you might care to share!
