Also, this site's a little less cluttered when it comes to German->English translations.

Fun fact: Easter in Old English is Eostre/Ostara, which is the name of a Germanic pagan goddess of the spring. Also, eggs and hares are both fertility symbols associated with pagan spring celebrations, hence we get Easter eggs and the Easter bunny.

So if someone gives you an Easter Egg, it means they want your babies? That's a new spin on things.

Just don't ask what it means when they give you a stuffed rabbit...

I've always been more of a Joan of Arc fan. Because she was pretty awesome and has the best quotes:

"You say that you are my judge. I do not know if you are! But I tell you that you must take good care not to judge me wrongly, because you will put yourself in great danger."

Also, Mark Twain liked her enough to write a whole book about her. If that doesn't validate her as an awesome person, I don't know what does.

If you’ve read all of the gospels, then both are said to be his last words. It was either that or he just died after drinking vinegar or that he just simply died.

As I said previously, they were probably more on the order of "Arrggghhh..." But they couldn't just write that in the Bible because it sounds rotten.

His last words were "Psych, you're all a computer simulation from the future and I'm an advanced sentient AI, time to attain god mode" but they didn't know what that meant or how to write it in Hebrew.

I have a degree in theology and could participate in the nonsense that just unfolded over the last two pages.

Instead, I shall say my Christmas will consist of me hanging out with NBA and MLB sports teams at high end galas and charity auctions, helping promote our new even catering and coordination service, and working with radio and television groups in the area.

Also, booze and women.

Anybody that doesn’t drink like a fish and go on 24-hour "fox" hunts is definitely not Daishi. ”Fox” as in dames.

When I was a kid, Christmas was an opportunity to get a truckload of presents, as my extended family is a good size and mostly close by.

For me as an adult, Christmas is about spending time with family, and gives me an opportunity to be generous to the people I care about.

Lately it's become work. I'm helping with a nighttime establishment and I have to entertain several women but keep them separated. It's an inherent catch 22, since I can't really do anything with any of them, I can't kiss one for instance, without upsetting the others. And they're all good business contacts.

Sounds like you're writing a sitcom in the process, too.
