Holidays

Celebrating all those special times in each year.

I applaud anyone that made that difficult journey across the Atlantic back then, but like Tsunami said, a strange holiday since he wasn't the first!

Well, Columbus Day probably started when he was generally thought to be the first. I know that when I was in school, we were thought that he was. Either way, his voyage started the exploration that led to the creation of the colonies and the US.

At any rate, I hope everyone has a happy holiday!

Sunday, November 11, will be Veteran's Day in the US. It is an official holiday and will be celebrated on Monday, November 12, this year.

There are usually various celebrations, parades, ceremonies, and recognitions to honor America's Veterans in many cities and towns across the US on the days leading up to and on this particular holiday.

So, if you have a Veteran in your family, or if you know of a Veteran, please take a few minutes to thank them for their service to our country.

:usa: :salute: Happy Veteran's Day! :salute: :usa:

Yay! I thought I knew someone, but I can't remember his name! Wha! XD He gets a moment anyway!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
