Today, February 20, 2012, is Presidents’ Day. Originally implemented in 1880 to honor George Washington, it was celebrated each year on his natal anniversary, February 22. Under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, in 1971 the holiday was shifted to the 3rd Monday in February — and thus will not ever fall on Washington’s actual birthday.
In honor of President’s Day, the picture below (when properly decoded) spells out a rather presidential question. Send your answer to this question to GeekDad Puzzle Central for a chance at this week’s $50.00 ThinkGeek Gift Certificate.
Good luck, and have a great Presidents’ Day!
