Opposite Fireworks Day
The fireworks are over and now we have to wait another year to see them. But not if we institute Opposite Fireworks Day. This would take place every January 27. It’s the opposite of July 4 because January is on the flip side of the calendar from July, and by subtracting 4 from 31 you get the opposite of 4, 27. Incidentally, this is also my brother’s birthday.
But it wouldn’t just be the date that was opposite. It would be an opposite celestial body on which the fireworks take place. Mid-January or so, NASA would send a shuttle to the moon manned by robot that has artificial intelligence, carrying a giant supply of atomic powered fireworks.
Once the shuttle landed, the robot would get to work, finishing set-up of the atomic fireworks by the morning of January 27. The robot would wait until 9 p.m. EST that night, and then it would set them off, starting with the smaller ones and climaxing with the most impressive ones.
If it were a clear night, we could look up at the moon and see the fireworks on it. Wouldn’t that be cool?
