Interesting facts on August.
I have a fact too; August 5th is International Beer Day - holiday in celebration of beer :P
Oh by the way, good click.
August's birth flower is the gladiolus or poppy, meaning beauty, strength of character, love, marriage and family.

To add about August, for South-Indian married girls/women, it is a taxing month, coinciding with 'Shravana-masa' with a demanding series of poojas and festivals and the like!!! I usually dread this month, he he :)
