The perfect calendar for rocket scientists and burger flippers

We've teamed up with the geniuses at Despair, Inc. again to bring you a totally demotivating and hilarious 2012 calendar. You'll get a different Demotivator each month (see below) as well as important dates in geek history. Impress your friends with your geeky trivia knowledge! Never forget Talk Like A Pirate Day again! Send @wilw a Happy Birthday tweet right on time! The superpowers you will gain from having this calendar cannot possibly be fit in one paragraph. Keep it for yourself or give it to that geek in your life who has everything but still finds stuff to complain about. They'll love it, but pretend to hate it. That's just how they roll.

Some sample dates of import:

• January 3, 1892: J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday. Eat second breakfast. Then elevenses.
• February 12: Darwin Day. Celebrate science by acting like your chimp ancestor.
• March 16, 1999: Thousands of nerds become instantly hooked on the EverCrack.
• April 2: Act Like A T-Rex Day. Or as we call it, "Fall for April Fool's Jokes Again Day."
• May 4: Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you!
• June 10: Ballpoint Pen Day. Scratch giant circles on a paper to start the celebration.
• July 3, 1985: Back to the Future is released, earns a gigawatt of cash.
• August 22, 1920: Ray Bradbury's Birthday. S is for space. L is for love.
• September 18: International Observe the Moon Night. We love the moon cuz it is close to us.
• October 18, 2009: W00tstock is born and a generation of geeks rejoices.
• November 20, 2009: Large Hadron Collider goes live, world remains intact. For now.
• December 18: National Roast a Suckling Pig Day. At least eat some bacon.
• And dozens and dozens more!

Includes the following Demotivator designs:

• Acquisition. The discovery that you're no longer a big fish in a small pond, or even a small fish in a big pond, but a small fish in a big fish.
• Adaptation. The bad news is robots can do your job now. The good news is we're now hiring robot repair technicians. The worse news is that we're working on robot-fixing robots -- and we do not anticipate any further good news.
• Change. Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.
• Committees. Just like teamwork. Only without the work.
• Excuses. If you keep asking others to give you the benefit of the doubt, they'll eventually start to doubt your benefit.
• Indecision. The mark of the leader is the ability to make decisions. The mark of the survivor is knowing when not to.
• Inflation. Because the easiest way to steal your wealth is by cheapening your money.
• Mercy. Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them.
• Obstacles. Some things can not be overcome with determination and a positive attitude.
• Pride. The art of calling faith in yourself "self-esteem" while calling it "conceit" when you see it in others.
• Underachievement. Because soaring with the eagles requires so much more effort.
• Wisdom. Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they choose to take a stand.
