When: Always June 18th

Today is International Panic Day, a day for everyone to be worried and concerned. We're not sure what is so big, and so widespread, to create an international incident of this magnitude. But, here it is on the calendar folks......an international day of panic.

Cool! I guess tonight I'll go running through the streets screaming. Nothing better to do...

This is such a pre-9/11 mentality. These days, everyday is panic day.

This holiday should be treated as a weekend thing really. Truly intense and satisfying panic does not fit into a 24 hour time window. It's really something that should follow a solid 72 hour arc that includes very little sleep and a ton of self induced strife..

In the future, I propose this be a three-day weekend.

Since it's Monday, and we missed the boat.. What do you say we do a test run of International Panic Week this upcoming weekend in NYC? I think it sounds like a great idea.

Don't worry, I'll come up with a way to induce panic.

That post-9/11 enough for you?

Given the bunch that will be on hand up there this weekend, frankly, thats enough to make me consider changing my flight... :)

Hmm, this gives me an idea... mushroom clouds as works of art. Nah, I've already got too many expensive hobbies.

Why didn't they just schedule The Second Coming of Christ/Rapture Day on the calendar? Then they would have got some REAL panic.
