  1. It's #worldbookNIGHT in the UK while the rest of said world celebrates #worldbookDAY, which for Brits happens on 7 march instead of today's 23 april - Tony Blair alone knows why. Repent, you fucking savages, William Shakespeare died for your sins! #OnThisDay 1616 in London, incidentally the exact same day Miguel Cervantes was buried in Madrid.

    I was reading about #WorldBookDay, which I hadn't heard of before I saw the #HumbleBundle #sale ¹, on Wikipedia²:
    ❝World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, or International Day of the Book[…]❞
    ❝Official name: National World Book Day
    Also called: WND❞

    I guess they can't make up their minds. :P

    Also, what is #WND supposed to mean? World Novel Day?
