Bigger than jesus coming back to life and laying an egg. Bigger than Santa's birthday. Bigger even than your birthday. It is of course..... . What does this mean? As a symbol of joy and unity, rubber ducks have symbolic importance in the LGBTQ+ community (particularly in the Netherlands, where they feature in pride parades), representing fun, playfulness, and acceptance.

Fun duck facts!... searches for “big yellow duck” were blocked in China in 2013 because activists in China were using the Rubber Duck sculpture and imposing it onto the Tank Man photo of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

And in 1992, over 28,000 rubber ducks were accidentally spilled into the Pacific Ocean and became subjects of scientific study as they provided useful insights into ocean currents and helped predict storm paths!

So however you're celebrating .... I hope you've left some PEAS (not bread) out for Father Duckmas and have the whole family round today to.... have a bath together?

Whatever. Have a great day everybody! :rubberduck: :rubberduck: :rubberduck:

For 20 years, Florentijn Hofman, a Dutch conceptual artist, has been displaying iterations of his huge floating sculpture Rubber Duck in dozens of cities around the world. Each inflatable duck is unique, and over the years, they have ranged in height from 54 feet (16.5 meters) to 85 feet (26 meters). Here we see a massive fucking duck towering over a bridge full of presumably terrified victims.
