"Blue Monday" Musings

[phesina]

I had to look that up on Wikipedia to find out just what "Blue Monday" is and why today is it.

Here's what I found out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date)):
---------->
Blue Monday is a name given to the Monday of the last full week of January, purported to be the most depressing day of the year as part of a 2005 publicity campaign by Sky Travel.

The concept is considered pseudoscience,[1] with its formula derided by scientists as nonsensical.
-----------------
Then it gives more details on the history and shows some formulas (pseudoscientific, I assume) used to compute the date.

Actually today wasn't so depressing compared to some days last week, when it was MUCH colder. That depresses me no end!

I've never heard of this. I guess now I know why I had a crappy day today.
