Life Day 2006
MARCH 25TH
LIFE DAY 2 0 0 6
FYI: On this day the following real and fake events were said to occur:
Dante descended to the Inferno
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, was discovered
Britain abolished slavery
John Lennon and Yoko Ono started their Bed-In
The angel told Mary she was pregnant with God
The official animal of this year's Life Day is the binturong, or bearcat.
The bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat, it is a binturong. Note: it is frugivorous. And it smells of popcorn.
On this day, we honor the aviatrix.
We appreciate the juxtaposition of Pirates and Pioneers, this year's double-patches of official heraldry.
This is "Flight of the Witches" by Goya, this year's official Life Day work of fine art. It is one of the scariest paintings I've ever seen, but I like it a lot. In German, it is known as Hexenflug. Hereby, the official word of the day is hexenflug. (it was going to be 'frugivorous" but I changed my mind) Hexenflug can be used as a greeting or an exclamation. I would think if you were to see in real life the subject of this painting, yelling "Hexenflug!" would be an appropriate response. As would: crumpling up into a ball and praying you'll survive the night.
What should I do for Life Day?
You could play a game my friends and I like to call "Blindly-Draw-A-Boar". It's fun. We like it. You get some funny-looking boars out of it.
If you're me, you could get tested to become a green belt in kung fu. (And no, I don't intend to pose as a black belt and wear my new green belt on my head like this gentleman, at least not where anyone else can see.)
You could read Alex's Ode to the Noble Binturong.
Hexenflug, neighbor!
Have a Happy Life Day!
