TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Greetings Infomaniacs, A fun fact from the Examiner.com said that in the Middle Ages, people believed that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex that they met on the morning of Valentine's Day was the person they were destined to marry. Just a heads up for all of my single readers out there. Hmmm, perhaps that means I will have to pay attention to the first single guy I see tomorrow morning!

St. Valentine's Day was declared an official holiday in 1537 when England's King Henry VIII declared it for the first time.
Elaborate handmade love messages, cards and gifts for Valentine's Day became popular during the 17th century.
The name Valentine comes from the Latin word valor, meaning worthy.
The greeting card association estimates that approximately one billion valentine's are sent annually world-wide, making it the second highest card sending holiday, behind Christmas.
February 14th was long associated with fertility and love even before St. Valentine lived. It was the day that birds traditionally chose their mates.
