Yeah, I had no idea either.
I've been trying to find out exactly what it means but I can't find anything on the web about it (I'm not the only one), except for the fact that the day does indeed exist. I'm guessing it has something to do with ice cream and violins. I'm not sure if it's just two random items thrown together or if there's a specific meaning behind the day.
So, in that spirit, I declare that today is also Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich and Comfortable Shoes Day! Enjoy it with your a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (and your favorite shoes).
