My children last night had a contest to name the most holidays and special occasions. They forgot Moron Day, 
celebrated recently by two Maryland teens who set a series of fires – bad – then bragged about it and posted photos of the damage on MySpace.com - moronic.
According to MSNBC, "the 17-year-old schoolmates were involved in 17 fires in Montgomery County" and they "face 22 charges, including two counts each of first-degree arson and four counts of second-degree arson." Don’t forget several counts of sheer stupidity.
The official line is that "their names were not released because they were charged as juveniles," but I think that information was withheld because the kids are too stupid to be identified.
"The significant thing is they posted on the Internet, and bragged about the fires, and that certainly allowed us to break the case," county Fire Chief Thomas W. Carr Jr. said. "They posted photos of these fires." Shouldn’t natural selection kick in somewhere right about now?
Tell me about any entries you know of for Moron Day, and we can nominate a grand marshal.
A lot of criminals get caught that way.
