Today is Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the date in 1862 when Mexico discovered Tequila. The first batch turned out to have a worm in it, but by the time the inventors found it, they were too trashed to care, and thus a tradition was born.
The day is marked by boisterous celebrations, folk dancing, grand parades, and the wearing of masks to ward off killer flu viruses.
