Temporary Insanity Day

Here's a Zany Holiday that could get a little too zany - it's Temporary Insanity Day! On this day in 1859, Congressman Daniel Sickles was the first person to successfully plead temporary insanity in a U.S. court. This is a perfect day for lawyer and legal service promotions - but be careful - I'm not sure if those interested in pleading "temporary insanity" make the best clients.

P.S. Is anyone else completely unsurprised by the fact that it was a U.S. politician who was the first to claim temporary insanity?
