843 - Talk Like H. Poirot Day

 
 
My wife tells me that today is "International Talk Like Hercule Poirot Day".  I'm not sure I get it since these days Hercule Poirot, mystery writer Agatha Christie's genius detective character, is rather obscure, fussy, and quaint compared to  what contemporary CSI-drenched audiences are used to, but what the hey.  My wife seems to be feeling blue today, so I hope this cheers her up some. 
 
"I dissect rucksacks.  It is very interesting."  Whatever that means.
