The Daily Dose: Ash Wednesday Edition

In case you're not a religious person, you may not be aware that today is Ash Wednesday. 

I had a friend in college, who shall remain nameless, that asked another friend why everyone had dirt on their forehead. He was pretty embarrassed when he was corrected that it wasn't dirt and, in fact, part of a religious ceremony. So that's today's public service announcement: if you see a mark on someones forehead, it's not dirt. Don't try and wipe it off. 

Let's get into today's Daily Dose.
