Day of Weird Runs... January 7...
January 7, a very special day. a day that also suits me a bit these days, because I often feel like a waddling duck when I walk somewhere again.

This special day is mainly due to John Cleese and The Ministry of Silly Walks in an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus from the 1970s.
