Echidne has a great suggestion: a War on Easter! After all, our godless War on Christmas almost gave Bill O'Reilly a stroke, so maybe if we take a shot at him twice a year we'll finally see his head explode on television. Echidne is taking a hard line against little yellow chicks, which is a fine…
There will no doubt be many April Fool's gags and hoaxes tomorrow. None will have the cachet of the Spaghetti Harvest, or the discovery of Homo micturans, because you can't get the wood, you know, but they will all be worthwhile relief from the inanity and insanity of our present society.
But…
Hooray, I just finished grading a stack of genetics exams (they passed, mostly), so I'll let you all celebrate with a quick and dirty Carnival of the Godless and the Oekologie Carnival. I think I'll just go to bed.
Here's a couple blog carnivals that you will enjoy;
Carnival of the Godless, 3 August 2008 issue. This blog carnival deals with atheism and the joys of living a rational life.
Carnival of the Vanities, the 2 August 2008 issue. This blog carnival is the original blog carnival that inspired all the…
Well, I mean, or celebrate Easter by getting laid. I mean, as a student I do enough thinking. I can tell you what I don't get enough of, though...
Yay for fertility!
Yeah, and that's really the True Meaning of Easter anyway. Like PZ said: plow the field, then, you know, plow the field.
And for my part, I still celebrate Easter with chocolate eggs and easter bunnies and all of that, since that doesn't have anything to do with the world's morbid fixation on a crucifiction. Easter, after all, is the celebration of Easter. The Catholics didn't try very hard, did they? I mean, the holiday still carries the name of the pagan goddess that it celebrated.

Right here in the middle of a Bible-Belt Red State, my daughter was not aware that Easter was today! We had a wonderful weekend together as a family, and nobody cared there were no evil-looking chocolate bunnies around, either.
I celebrated today with an epiphany, which I titled "The Spike Verity" ... and hard-boiled eggs.
Thanks for pointing this out, PZ. Gave me some great reading for a lazy Sunday
BTW, have you seen the trailer for Slither?

Have you noticed that many of the more extreme types on TBN and elsewhere now refer to it as Resurrection Sunday rather than Easter? They haven't completely stopped saying "Easter," nor have they gotten around to claiming that calling it Easter is part of the "war on Christians" (although I expect that soon enough), but it seems like someone finally noticed.
