He is a fictional character who lives in a trash can on “Sesame Street” with a green body and no visible nose.

It was “Sesame Street” episode 3,866 that revealed that Oscar’s birthday is on June 1.
World MS Day
World Multiple Sclerosis Day, falling on May 30, invites dialogue on the disease. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a relapse-remitting disease with a very slow progression. MS is also known as encephalomyelitis disseminata, and its symptoms include muscle weakness, double vision, and mental/physical problems. Due to the lack of research studies on the disease, the exact causes behind it are generally unknown. Many scientists believe that there might be a connection between the onset of the disease and genes and/or nerve-cell dysfunction. Furthermore, there is no permanent cure as of yet. The symptoms can be relieved using the right set of treatments and medication.
National Brown-Bag It Day
National Brown-Bag It Day is celebrated annually on May 25. This day is an ode to the unsung hero in our lives that gives us so many benefits. Brown bags have been popularly used in grocery stores and to pack and carry lunches to school or work. They’re great as they not only help us save some money that we would have otherwise spent on buying lunch but also encourage us to pack home-cooked meals and stay healthy. They truly deserve a day dedicated to them.
