It's pretty much accepted within academic circles that October is the most kick-ass month of the year. Go ahead, look it up in the Encyclopedia (those things gathering dust above your dad's desk that look like books (those things made of a lot of paper (that stuff made from trees... oh never mind!))). The point is that the tenth month of the year is irrefutably the best. And here we will tell you why. Not so you can question us, but so that you will have something intelligent to add next time someone says to you in polite conversation, "You know, October is the best month of the year."
1. The weather is crisp and cool but often still sunny and slightly warm. In other words, perfect!
