Little people know of today's holiday. It's an American exclusive holiday yes, but a great one indeed. Today is National Jack Bauer Day!
Born on the 31st of February 4000 BC (Immortal fool!!), Jack Bauer is America's finest counter-terrorist special agent, anti-sleep activist, Human Rights Professor at UCLA, all-round person you don't want to P.O., and a hero to many conservative Republicans even though the actor playing him is a self proclaimed Communist. A regular GNU/Linux user, as of Season 6, he is also a vampire (see Episode 1 to see Jack eat for the first time in 9 years - he has yet to take a crap and a shower, and also Episode 16 to see Jack hunt down a One-Armed Terrorist just by following his blood trail).
Today we celebrate how B.A. Jack Bauer is.
In the words of the great Bauer himself:
“The ONLY reason you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you!”
~ Jack Bauer to a hostage
(For those who don't know why today is Jack Bauer day, 12/12. 12 + 12 = 24. Jack Bauer is the star of 24.)
