It’s that time of year again. March 5 is the UK’s National Doodle Day.

By all accounts, yesterday’s Cupid’s Undie Run was a very successful event. The snow and cold of Washington DC didn’t stop the runners from making their loop around the Capitol building. Pictures of the event are available at the DCist. The fundraiser benefited the Children’s Tumor Foundation.
