Rick,

I fit at least two of the infidel categories in your list, but that
doesn't deter me from wishing you and all who celebrate it a very happy
Christmas. To all others, whatever turns you on: enjoy!

Don't forget Hindus - 80.5% of India's makeup, according
to this:

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/in.html

(Hindi is the common language of India.)


Hindi isn't that widely spoken in the South. English is more of a common

language, nationally. In northern India business tends to be conducted
in Hindi, if the participants are all northerners. In the south English
seems the usual language for business.

Steve

We Australians celebrate Christmas, it's just that we do it on the
beach, in our swimwear... with prawns (shrimp), crabs and beer for the
feast (though not while in Connecticut!).

First, Happy Hanachrismakwaanzaka to all. Back at ya, peeps!

I'm Pastafarian myself (I have an FSM "fish" on my car to prove it!),
and I don't think there are any taboos on celebrating Christmas,
especially if done in full pirate regalia.

Likewise again to everybody, including all comp.dsp occassional
posters, lurkers, and even to our resident sociopaths.

I'm wunna them Demon-crats, but I know Rick dislikes Bush more than
almost anyone else on the planet, so he's still okay by me. ;)

Ha ha.
You may not believe this, Dr. K, but I stuck that
"Australians" in the list just for you.
I wanted to see if you'd respond.

Best Wishes,

Hello David,

I was intrigued by that FSM website, and the
arguments that it makes. However, before
I go further with any sort of serious discussion
on this fascinating topic, I have one question.

Were you ever hit on the head with a shovel?
Ha ha ha (Just jokin'.)

Merry Xmas!

No beaches in Connecticut? Prohibition is back? No public consumption of

alcoholic beverages?

Anyway - A Very Merry Chrimble to one and all and thanks for a lot of
interesting stuff. Hope you all have a great 2006. Like to extend general
bonhommie to little girls that are now hopefully feeling a lot better.

Also have a question: What book would you most like to see in your
stocking?
Can be any old book, doesn't have to be DSP , doesn't even have to exist at
the moment.

Best of Luck - Mike ( godless lurker )

With 4 inches of snow out there this morning, it's just too darn cold!

Christmas is in summer in Australia.
