Today Is Bang-Clang Day, Go Out and Get Banged

According to several holiday/observation sites, I  just learned earlier this week that March 9 is Bang-Clang Day.  This commemorates the second day of the Battle of Hampton Roads, when the USS Monitor squared off against the CSS Virginia (sometimes called the CSS Merrimack).

The two ships would fire their guns, "Bang" and then the shells would simply bounce off one another, "Clang."
