My dear Symeon,
I'm afraid the real hysteria is planned for the third saturday in April. I would recommend that you stay home that afternoon and watch the ballgame on FOX--or perhaps rent a copy of St. Elmo's Fire. Consider yourself warned. "Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."

Why the third Saturday in April?
Note the following dates all add up to 37:
3 - 21 - 13
4 - 20 - 13
5 - 19 - 13
6 - 18 - 13
7 - 17 - 13
8 - 16 - 13
9 - 15 - 13
10 -14 - 13
11- 13 - 13
12- 12 - 13
Be sober, be watchful, for the devil like a lion roams about the world seeking whom he may devour (Epistle of St. Peter).
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
Good point Maria. It shows that we should not fear that the DEVIL could shoot us full of holes like a piece of Swiss cheese on any of those days. We need not be worried of the number: 37! Indeed, needn't all stay at home or nor enter a backyard bomb shelter on those days with crates of craft dinner boxes to sit on whilst watching the TV. 
Sorry brother Cyprian, but Maria pretty much demolished that idea.
Hysteria, Hysteria, Hysteria.
How many times need we say it?
And by hysteria are you referring to the crowds of pot-smoking hippies that congregate on that day?

Earth Day? Lord have mercy.

I was unware that it was Earth Day (the celebration of the goddess Gaia).
Lord have mercy!
