their wives—it's tacky to get the same gift for your wife and your mistress) for a holiday in mid-February that was invented by Hallmark (or was it jewelers?) for the express purpose of banking some dough. And it's why you can now rent live chicks to keep in your home as part of your Easter celebration. Take a moment, go back, and re-read that. Yes, you read it correctly. You can now rent a pair of live chicks from one of a few area farms. For $40, you can keep two chicks for two weeks. Why two chicks? Well, according to the article, it's "because even in the animal world, singletons get lonely." (Remind us to run that quote again next Valentine's Day.)

Today is March 14th, or if you are a big numbers nerd, 3/14. If you are an even bigger numbers nerd you know that 3.14 is the first three digits of Pi. If you are the biggest numbers nerd you know today is “Pi Day.”

'Twas the Sunday after Valentine's Day and all through the World Cafe Live, folks were stirring about, probably even mice.

There are lots of reasons why drinking heavily on Valentine’s Day is probably a good idea, but here’s a new one: University City Kiwanis Club is sponsoring A Shot for Love, a fundraiser at McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon tonight from 9PM-12AM. As you head in, let the nice person at the door know that you are there for the Kiwanis Club gathering, and your $5 cover will be donated to the Second Chance Support Group, a non-profit organization supporting families affected by heart transplantation. In addition to providing the public with information about organ transplantation and donation, they raise funds to assist organ recipients who need help with medical and other expenses. In recognition of your good deed, you’ll enjoy half-price appetizers until 10PM, $1 well drinks until 11PM, and $1 Miller Lites for the duration. Just don’t get too into it: they won’t be able to help you with a new liver.

Have your Valentine’s Day activities planned out yet? No? Us neither (and we really have no excuse). Luckily foobooz is looking out for you, or at least your stomach. They have an extensive list of eat-out options and specials, including many singles events, to get you through the (perhaps dreaded) day. Our favorite is the Puppy Love Valentine’s Party hosted by Devil’s Alley tomorrow night at the Painted Bride; $35 buys tickets for one person and one puppy, with proceeds going to PAWS. We’re also considering the My Bloody Valentine masquerade ball at Jose Pistola’s the night of, which has the benefit of costing $5. After all, money can’t buy you love. We’re guessing that you’ll have to do some major haggling to get reservations at some of the swanker places at this late date—but love don’t come easy (somebody stop us please).

I'm going to come out and say it: I hate Valentine's Day. And no, it's not because I'm historically single when it rolls around. I'm not single now, and I'm still against the holiday.

Today we have basketball, masturbation, and ancient, unrequited love. What more can we say?

Ah, love. Though we may not have an overflow of the brotherly variety, Philly is offering plenty of options for those happy couples looking to sanctify said happiness with boxes of chocolates and a night on the town. We’ll tackle the latter here; we've given you some chocolate-related goodness already.

It’s almost that time again folks: Compulsory Love Day is next Thursday, so it’s time to stock up on the champagne, chocolates, and condoms. That is, if you have a partner. If not, tradition dictates you sit at home alone, preferably in a battered bathrobe, and eat a quart of ice cream out of the container. If you’re feeling somewhere in the middle of the champagne/battered bathrobe spectrum, here are some ideas to keep you and your beloved occupied for the next week and change.
