In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their valentine.
The single women’s names would be added to an urn and single men of the town would take a name out
and pin it to their sleeves for one whole week.
This would allow everyone in the town to see who their valentine was and
could be where the term “wearing your heart on your sleeve” originates.
Oh, Hobbes gets the ides:
Calvin not so much!
