D-Day

Don't forget that today is D-Day. You may want to fly the flag, if it's not raining in your area.

I discovered this by accident when I was making a round trip of Long Island Sound to take care of a whole bunch of errands between Cape Cod and Ramsey, NJ.

The Straight Dope: What are the 36 basic literary plots?

We were discussing how many different movie plots were possible the other day. This lead me to researching what the officials had to say, which lead me to The Straight Dope. Depending on how detailed you want to be, there are probably 36 basic plots.
