Title: Easter Calendar
Post by: Rooster Cruiser on March 08, 2008, 04:04:07 AM
EASTER CALENDAR ============================================================ Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on the Roman calendar.
Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.
Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see. Only the most elderly (95 or older) of our population have seen it this early and none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913, so if you're 95 or older you were around for that.
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year.

You have told that beer kills braincells... But which ones? The slowest of course! Faster ones can flee to safety :)
And since we know, that brain works as fast as the slowest cell...
beer actually makes brain work better!!
WOW! I'm only a pilot and it's hard for me to follow such deep thoughts like that, I'll have a beer and think about it ::drinking:: ::drinking:: ::drinking:: AH YES--I see now ::bow::
