Wikipedia says that the Battle of San Jacinto lasted only 18 minutes, but “the killing lasted for hours.”  Yikes.

Anyway, we wish all of you a Happy San Jacinto Day!  If you are wondering how you should honor the Texas heroes who secured our independence, let me suggest this: take an 18-minute nap.

They fought so that we can nap. Be grateful.
