Do you have any plans for breakfast tomorrow? Since Tuesday, February 20th is National Pancake Day - also known as Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday - you might want to think about heading to IHOP. Not only is the restaurant chain famous for their pancakes, but they're actually giving them away for free all day tomorrow! From 7 am - 10 pm at participating stores nationwide, all guests can get a short stack of classic buttermilk pancakes for free.
The point of the giveaway, in addition to the simple celebration of pancakes, is to raise money for charity. Diners are encouraged to donate the money that they would otherwise have spent on the pancakes (or as much as they'd like ) to support the Children's Miracle Network, a nonprofit group that raises money for children's hospitals across the country.
This is the third year that IHOP has held the pancake giveaway.

There's something more sinister going on here...
Everyone knows IHOP is an acronym for "I Hate Old People".
Go there today and watch the seniors waiting for their free pancakes. They'll be waiting longer than anyone else. Somebody call AARP!
