Star Wars Day

It's May the 4th so that means around the world it is Star Wars Day.

If you don't know, the date was chosen because of the pun;

"May the fourth be with you."
is close to,
"May the force be with you."

May the 4th was actually the day in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister of Great Britain and a newspaper headline stated,

"May the fourth be with you Maggie, Congratulations!"

This was the first time that the phrase was used anywhere.

I personally like Star Wars, but I prefer Star Trek. My sister once got me a Star Wars lunchbox, and I still use it everyday. When I said that I preferred Star Trek she said, and I quote:

"Are they not the same?"
