National Alien Abduction Day (March 20th) Today, March 20th, is “International Alien Abduction Day”. This year, I’m hosting the Texas Aggie exchange student from Roswell, New Mexico. He waived his hand in front of me and told me there is no such thing as aliens.”

Then, for some very strange reason, he said, “There is no basement in the Alamo!”

Alamo Basement Texas Aggie Ring agreed and said, “Every Aggie Ring knows that there’s no basement in the Alamo!”
