Don't forget that today, April 25, is the perfect date, at least according to 'Miss Congeniality'

Seventeen years ago, the world got to witness Sandra Bullock kick ass and take names in Miss Congeniality. Yes, Bullock saved Miss USA from an exploding tiara, but let us not forget one of the most important things we have learned from the iconic film: the moment Miss Rhode Island flubs an answer and informs the world of the perfect date. 

If we're being honest, she's not lying: today, April 25th, really is the perfect date. 

It's at the cusp of spring and by now, most of the horribly cold weather has finally passed. We're on the verge of summer without the humidity, and sure, it's cloudy and raining outside the windows of Mashable HQ right now—but if you've remembered your light jacket today, you'll be fine.
