Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks to Answers.com, I learned the reason we celebrate Valentine's day... Do you know why?

Here is the answer I found: (left un-edited for the sake of laughs)
"the romans used to have a celibration on 15th feb where as the roman soldiers got to choose a woman then they would spend the next twelve months with them and then go to the celibration again. but a lot of the soldiers fell in love and got married and did not want to go to battle. so the emperor said no soldiers could get married but the church dissagreed with this and said they would marry them if they wanted. so the emperor had the preists arrested. one of the preists was called valentine, and he was in love with the jailers daughter and he wrote her a letter and the jailer found out about this and had him clubbed to death. and at the end of his letter he wrote, from your valentine. he died on 14th feb and that is why we have valentines day."

Why didn't I ever learn this in school?  I checked some other sites just to make sure this random dude was right- and he's pretty close.  Pretty bizarre that people give boxes of chocolates, flowers, and celebrate love all in remembrance of a poor man that was clubbed to death and died on the 14th.  Pretty romantic, huh!?!

So, with that said...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I LOVE YOU JOHN

XOXO
