World Plumbing Day World Plumbing Day is an international event, initiated by the World Plumbing Council, held on 11 March each year to recognise the important role plumbing plays in societal health and amenity.

The WPC, through its member countries and its partnerships with bodies like the World Health Organisation, works all year round to promote the benefits of safe plumbing, but in 2010 it decided to launch the concept of embedding a single day on the world’s calendar dedicated to plumbing. The idea was that on March 11 each year people all over the world would pause to reflect on the vital role plumbing plays in preserving their health and way of life – in the case of countries like ours – or in building sustainable disease free futures for millions in the developing world.

And so World Plumbing Day was born, and it is big and getting bigger all the time. Today, on the continents of Australia, Europe and Africa events are organised to mark the occasion and draw attention to the importance of good plumbing and sanitation. In China, England, Germany, India, Canada, North and South America and many more places industry leaders – like us here today – governments, policy makers, and community based organisations are promoting World Plumbing Day.

Right now, today, in offices and training colleges, on worksites and in classrooms, and in legislatures and Parliaments around the world, World Plumbing Day is being marked and recognised. In media releases and magazine articles in Chinese, Hindi, English, German and Spanish the message about the link between good plumbing sanitation and human and environmental health is reaching millions of people each March. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-plumbing-day/

Registered Dietitian Day With the abundance and variety of food available in the Western world these days, registered dietitians are becoming more popular as people seek greater understanding of what they should eat and why. Why not celebrate Registered Dietitian Day by sending your dietitian a quirky bouquet of edible flowers as a thank you for all their hard work?

If you don’t already visit a dietitian you may be wondering what they can do for you. Dietitians often play a role in managing weight through healthy eating, but they can also advise on suitable nutritional intakes for a variety of ailments and disorders. Increasingly, part of the role involves running educational programs about the causes and effects of obesity in an attempt to prevent problems later in life. Find a registered dietitian locally to ask how you can improve your lifestyle and boost your health today. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/registered-dietitian-day/

3. The answer is...

42! Happy Birthday

[femmocrat]

4. What was the question?

(I don't know who that is!)

[antiquie]

5. It is the "Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"

42 (forty-two) is the natural number immediately following 41 and directly preceding 43. The number has received considerable attention in popular culture as a result of its central appearance in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams) as the "Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".

Douglas Adams born March 11, 1952, died in 2001.

You mean everyone in the universe hasn't read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

6. Thank you.

No, I never read it. I didn't think it meant Jackie Robinson!

[antiquie]

7. Hah! I had to look it up to be sure.

I didn't *know* Jackie's number was 42 -- assuming you aren't referring to the actor ...
