Noses Swell in Britain

This is the day when everyone in Great Britain gets together under the sign of the Red Nose.

Red Nose Day is incredibly popular and raises a lot of money for charity. Although it has a quarter-century history of massive fun and good works, I'd never heard of it until today. Maybe that's because in Canada, where I live, Red Nose Day is a lacklustre affair in early February. In February, Canadians are still bundled into our overcoats, trying to stay out of the wind.

Anywho, Red Nose Day in Britain is big, exciting, and here today. It's fun seeing ordinary folks put on Monster Red Noses and get into the spirit of being funny. Did you participate?

Celebrities are in on the act, too. If you're in Britain, you lucky clown, you get to see the big, star-studded night on TV. Others can download highlights from iTunes.
