Check out these facts about Valentine's Day:

Valentine's Day is on 14th February every year Valentine's Day falls on 14th February every year. It is also known as Saint Valentine's Day! It is thought that Valentine's Day is on this day because a priest called Valentine was performing secret marriages behind the back of Emperor Claudius II of Rome. He banned marriage because he thought that unmarried soldiers fought much better. Valentine unfortunately got caught on 14th February in the year 270AD. It's a day to show your love Valentine's Day is a day to show your love. This can be to a girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife. Or why not show your love to the important people to you? Such as your family and friends! Valentine's Day comes from Saint Valentine As you learned above, Valentine's Day comes from the man Valentine from the Roman times. He was a priest and was actually made a Saint after his death! The first ever Valentine's Day was in 496 Previously, there was a Roman festival called L

REJECTED VALENTINE'S DAY CARD SAYINGS

"I will love you through life and even through death... But one thing I will always hate is your stinky morning breath." "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue; The Clinic just called and your tests were negative too." "You were mean when we met and when we were apart... So today I have come to rip out your heart!" "As we travel the winding mysterious road of life, I realize there's no way in hell I want you as my wife." "Cupid drew and arrow and made a little notch; He aimed a little low, and it hit me in the... Ooooh!"

LEAST ROMANTIC THINGS TO SAY ON VALENTINE'S DAY

"Yeah, love you, too... but there's no football on!" "Candy hearts give me farts!" "Inside seating or drive-through?" "Wanna do it now?" "So, what did you get me?," followed quickly with, "That's it?"

SIGNS YOU CAN'T DRIVE

You refer to the windshield as the exit The community college filmmaking class paid you $10 to drive around the parking lot. It seems they can't afford a stunt driver. As a safety measure, you removed the rear and side view mirrors because they were "distracting." You keep hearing "Where did you get your license?" from that nosy guy on your hood. Your name becomes a traffic fatality verb, as in "Look out honey, you almost Bob-Smithed that guy!" You use the pedals like on a bicycle: left, right, left, right... Instead of "wash me," people write "kill me" on the back of your car. You have even managed to roll a bumper car. Hitch-hikers see you coming and pretend not to be hitch-hiking. Your insurance company only agreed to continue your coverage if your car is fitted with the landing balloons from the Mars lander.
