Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day, taking place every year on August 28, is a copyrighted holiday developed by Wellcat.com. The goal is to give individuals a chance to experiment with the mouse and cursor. In essence, it allows the user to express their frustration while working or enjoying the computer. If you’re a pro at racing your mouse around symbols, you get to celebrate this whacky holiday every day, but for those who aren’t, it’s a once-a-year opportunity.
