      Oktoberfest: Happens in September

      October revolution: Happened in November

      Does the month of October actually exist or is it just a conspiracy by big calendar to make us buy more calendars?

      Ask any people around you if they can actually remember anything that happened to them in October. I bet you they can't

        Note how Hunt for Red October (based on a novel that came out in 1984!) started playing in theaters in August. November Rain was published in September. 9/11 (commonly known as "Oktoberfest with planes") happened in September as well. You may be on to something here.

        If they wanted us to buy more calendars wouldn't they be spreading exactly the sort of conspiracy you're hinting at here to convince people there are less months and therefore need to buy more calendars :think-about-it:

    Octoberfest is objectively the worst German festival. Literally every tiny town has a better one at a time of year that is actually appropriate for wearing Trachten without freezing to death. Also, better headwear.

      IMO Oktoberfest gets the attention because Americans who don't actually know anything about Europe but want to vacation there are all like "hey let's go to Germany for Oktoberfest and drink like fish!"

    It's not my revolution if I can't dress up in ridiculous outfits to it

    Can we drink beer from comically oversized mugs at the revolution?
