[evkl]

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

Happy New Year!

 

[Gato Gurl914]

i'm lost.

 

[evkl]

That makes one of you.

 

[Dark Espeon]

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

Happy New Year!!! :-D

 

[Gato Gurl914]

as in Rosh Hasshanna?

 

[evkl]

There we go!

 

[Mozz]

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

 

[evkl]

Different calendar. Different new year. Much like the Chinese, except our calendar is better--and has been around longer than any other, ever.

 

[Mozz]

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.

 

[swampert master]

Oh yeah that was in my agenda happy new year. Or happy rash hasshanna.

 

[evkl]

The Orthodox are nuts. But they're hilarious sometimes.

 

[MondoTR]

If it's New Year's Day today then my bday's tomorrow. Heh, just kidding. Happy new year.

 

[Zak]

Shana tova u'metuka!

 

[Jukain]

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...

 

[evkl]

Nope. Coincidence.

 

[Mozz]

Hahahahaha @ Zhen's story.

I have no love for baseless religious rules.

 

[Zak]

Agreed. Sounds like something my sister would do on a fast day.

 

[Gato Gurl914]
