The pilot sure features some squabbling about the sighting of the moon. @ Frenziebot: The Dune or the World of Warcraft character? And what's there for him to approve of? I think we should check you for errors. @ Lynnette: 8O November? <b>November?!</b> Oh my god, did I sleep that long?! I'll have to put the remaining Halloween decorations back into the cellar first thing tomorrow! @ David: You should watch Little Mosque on the Prairie.

What does Muad'Dib approve of? Did he see the Moon rising above the rooftops of Arrakeen? For some reason, I am reminded that I really liked Julie Cox as Irulan in the SciFi Dune miniseries! Germans celebrate Halloween? Didn't know that! I would watch the Little Mosque, but it does not appear on my TV.

Halloween. They've actually got <i>Christmas</i> decorations out in some stores here! :o Btw, how do you actually pronounce Eid? Is it with a long "e" sound or an "i"? David, You can get Little Mosque on You Tube. They posted it in multiple clips there. It's very good. Mel,

We only have the Christmas food so far. Ah. I only recently learned that it is promounced "Eed". Weird phonetic Arabic. It just never ceases to surprise me - especially as no two people spell a word alike.... :P @ David: Well, it doesn’t appear on my tv either, but for some reason it mysteriously appears on my pc.

I mean, it's a lot darker and all, but the whole dark winter is still ahead. Isn’t the end of October rather early for stuff like that?

It's amazing how you can become familiar with a word, yet not know how to actually <i>pronounce</i> it! And the combination of 'ei' can be pronounced different ways in English. Oh, it's not just festivals and the like that we like to take and make our own. We do a really good job with food too! ;) David, If it's any consolation I have heard that they are trying to bring Little Mosque to the States as well. We'll see. Mel,

Thanks for the link. :) The conversion of a special Pagan day into a Christian holiday was standard practice for the early Catholic Church. They followed a similar pattern centuries later in their efforts to Christianize Native Americans in Central and South America. The article about Samhain was interesting Mel. Thanks for the link. :)
