Either you really, really get it, or you absolutely have no idea what's going on right now.

Happy New Year!
 
Um, it's Jewish New Year? A friend just told me :-D.

I'll never understand it, but whatever. Enjoy the festivities!

Different calendar. Different new year. Much like the Chinese, except our calendar is better--and has been around longer than any other, ever.
 
LoL Not that, just a lot of the other self-imposed rules... I work with a few orthodox jews, and I lost a lot of respect from them after I discussed religion with them.
 
If it's New Year's Day today then my bday's tomorrow. Heh, just kidding. Happy new year. :p
 
So what year is it for you now? 5766?
 
A tangentally related event: Ramadan started sunset yesterday [coincidence?] and so, the month of fasting begins for Muslims.

Just today... one of my American-Pakistani classmates accidentally broke his fast. Two girls were eating fries... he asked if he could have some... munched for about 30 seconds... then one of the girls remembers: 'Aren't you supposed to be fasting?' - then, he starts spitting it out, and goes somewhere to gargle and wash...
 
Hahahahaha @ Zhen's story.

I have no love for baseless religious rules.
 
Agreed. Sounds like something my sister would do on a fast day.
