Ah, Valentine's Day. The first thing that comes to mind is a heart-shaped box of cheap chocolates that should be directly applied to one's hips. And then there is that sweet little cupid. He's an overweight angel aiming a bow and arrow at you to inspire you to fall blissfully in love. I mean, let's face it. Cupid's arrow is a weapon that literally and metaphorically could be the death of you. But all jokes aside, do you even know why we actually celebrate Valentine's Day? I didn't think so.
