I just learned August is anal sex month. Is there a meta-index of corporate, non-profit, non-governmental and intergovernmental "...Month"s, "...Day"s or "...Year"s?

There must be MANY more, but here is a short list of "Unofficial observances."

Google can't even decide what month 'Anal Sex Month' is.

Here are a couple of sources for odd and/or little-known holidays and observances...

Earth Calendar (click the "holidays by date" tab)
Brownielocks (yucky site design, but very fun and informative)

Ah... I thought every month was anal sex month.

This year was the first time International Make Out Day was celebrated. May 5th, which is appropriate as it's my birthday.

Sitting on my desk at work is Chase's Calendar of Events, a compendium of every random holiday and observance. We give it to an intern and make her come up with ridiculous office celebrations.

On the Freakonomics blog they've been writing "And Today Is..." posts for a while, pointing out some of the odder observances. They're not all non-profit, non-government, etc, but there are some interesting ones.

Chase's is the most authoritative, thorough listing of such events.

I'm still wondering what lunalaguna's intern came up with for the office celebration of Anal Sex Month.

Kuru Awareness Week should be in there somewhere.

If someone asked you to celebrate anal sex month with them, they are not to be considered a reliable source of this information.
