If it’s Friday night then I must be celebrating the existence of some of my favourite blogs in the blogosphere:
Travis announced earlier this week that we will be staying in the movie theatre for another year.
Jesse is promoting ‘Life Pointe Latino’ – coming soon to a theatre near you !
The Saturn Project needs an Executive Producer for their upcoming album.
Nathan loves living in South Florida.
Harmony doesn’t understand why there’s leftover bread crust sitting in her living room’s TV cabinet.
Last Thursday night we realized that our cell phones would not be instantly inundated with calls from telemarketers if we did not submit our number to the National Do Not Call Registry before a certain deadline. That was (and still is) an Internet hoax.
This Thursday night it’s all about an Amber Alert for a missing 15-year-old boy by the name of Evan Trembley. You are urged to forward an E-Mail (and accompanying picture of Evan) to everyone that you know so that someone – anyone could find him and return him to his Mom.
The fact of the matter is that Evan is a real person, and he is also fine and well. It was actually he himself who started this Internet hoax last Summer (2007) in an effort to become famous online to impress his friends. It worked. He is now Internationally-known. Just don’t go looking for him – unless you live in his neighbourhood.
Read all about this Internet hoax at About.com: Urban Legends.
DON’T believe everything that you read within your E-Mail Inbox. If it doesn’t sound right then it probably isn’t true. If you receive an E-Mail that states that you should forward it on to everyone that you know then that should be the tip-off right there that you are dealing with an Internet hoax. Kill the hoax. Hit the DELETE key !
It’s Ash Wednesday, and hence the first day of the Lenten season. It caught a lot of people by surprise today because it’s only the 6TH of February. Why so early you may ask ?
It’s because we have a very early Easter this year. Easter Sunday falls on Sunday March 23RD 2008. It’s the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the 21ST of March. A full moon actually occurs precisely on the 21ST of March this year, so this year’s Easter Sunday falls on the 2ND earliest possible calendar date. The last time Easter Sunday fell on the 22ND of March (the earliest possible calendar date) – 1818 ! The next time it happens – 2285 !
Easter Sunday can occur as late as April 25TH. That would push Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent forward to March 10TH. In just 3 years – 2011 – Easter Sunday will fall on the 2ND latest possible calendar date – April 24TH. Blame it on the Moon !
Don’t forget that this is a leap year. Yes we have a February 29TH this year. It falls on a Friday.
