What to do this weekend? Why not storm the Bastille? Even if you're not in France, there are celebrations worldwide. My favorite is the super-soaker version at Pennsylvania's Eastern State Penitentiary.



On the other side of the United States, Da Vinci Days are going on this weekend in Oregon!



Meanwhile, England is celebrating the World Championship Snail Races on a cricket field (yes, really), and the World Santa Claus Congress is meeting in Denmark. Elves are there, too. Christmas is right around the corner, you know.
