Valentine's Day was originally conceived of by an unscrupulous gang of thugs in New York City that, while ruthless criminals the rest of the time, would pick one day a year to dress up in adult diapers and shoot passers-by with chocolate arrows (many believe this is the origin of the Cupid myth as well).
Valentine was the leader of this gang who apparently had quite a sweet tooth.
No one is quite how the tradition Escaped New York, but now all around the world we rejoice in shooting each other with chocolate arrows!
Thank goodness the adult diaper shortage of the late 1970's did away with the diaper portion of the holiday.
