September 16 is the anniversary of the Mexican Independence Day when the war of independence from Spain began in 1810. That's a Monday this year so they started on Saturday, 9/14, in a lot of places rather than the evening of the 15th like usual. Several other Central American countries also celebrate September 15 as their independence day.
Correct. Today is the day for freedom from Spain. May 5, aka Cinco de Drinko, isn't even celebrated in Mexico but instead, it's the day the Mexicans defeated the French in a battle.

No, we put them on our tanks.
No exaggeration. I'm sitting here drinking some Gatorade and reading the forum when this post made me spray my desktop and I'm so happy having read the comment that I don't even care that I have to clean it all up.
Excellent.
