Guest hhheld_down Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 uhmm ........... its easter already? where the fuck are my eggs!
2GOLD Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Man, Easter comes earlier every year. Wish Jesus would just decide on what day he did his re-enactment of Altered Beast so I can schedule it properly.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 I knew the UK was in a different time zone than America, but the gap is 2-3 months?...
Use Your Illusion Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 It's New Year's day, 1993, here in Australia
Jingus Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 It's always July 4, 1859 here in good ol' Tennessee.
The Czech Republic Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Vince McMahon's ladder-legdrop, was that crazy or what?
Cartman Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 It's always July 4, 1859 here in good ol' Tennessee.
TheFranchise Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Vince McMahon's ladder-legdrop, was that crazy or what? Yeah, but the rest of the 97 rumble was good.
The Czech Republic Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Why is he wishing us a fucking Easter, anyway?
Special K Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 You shit. Now I want a Cadbury Cream egg.
Nighthawk Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Why is he wishing us a fucking Easter, anyway? It's the fertility festival.
... Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 No, it's because the color of the chocolate eggs is the same color as the wood used on the cross. -ish.
The Metal Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Question: Does anyone actually know why Easter is on different days every year (I assume it's to keep it on Sunday) and how they decide when Easter is going to be held? Do they make it up as they go along? Or is Easter already set for the next 40 years or something?
alfdogg Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 It has something to do with how many Sundays it is from lent or something. Not sure exactly how to explain it.
The Metal Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 It's the 40th day after Lent begins. but how do they know when Lent begins if Easter is different?
Guest SP-1 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 It's kind of like Thanksgiving. It's more about timing and keeping it within the timeframe of Friday to Sunday.
GreatWhiteNope Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 If Jesus came back tomorrow and got shot, that would seriously fuck everything up.

It's no coincidence that the two biggest Christian holidays fall on what were Pagan holidays.
The Metal Maniac Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 It's kind of like Thanksgiving. It's more about timing and keeping it within the timeframe of Friday to Sunday. Yeah, but isn't Thanksgiving always on like, the Xth week of the month? Like, the last Friday in October or whatever it is? No, I don't know when Thanksgiving is, fuck off. Easter doesn't seem to follow such a strict pattern; doesn't it happen during like, different months sometimes?

It's no coincidence that the two biggest Christian holidays fall on what were Pagan holidays. Some people mention this like it's something bad about Christianity. It was one of the best decisions they ever made.
... Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Yeah, it's to theology what the Happy Meal is to fast food.

Sideburnious Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 I think it's the way they time the christian year and work out the weeks until they can say easter. They usually get it around the usual time each year though. It's not in fucking January anyway
The Czech Republic Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Sideburnious, I've been meaning to ask you for a while. Is that Mr. Humphries in your avatar?
Sideburnious Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 It is Czech Republic, well spotted. Are you free?
The Czech Republic Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Are you free? As opposed to what?
Dr. Tom Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
