It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada. The P-man has the day off from school today and we had a big family dinner last night, replete with turkey (both the animal and the tofu kind ;), potatoes in various formats, asparagus and cranberry sauce. Oh, and dessert. Lots of dessert.
Besides pigging out yesterday, I also tracked down with some of the other Plasma hackers some of the more obvious and showstopper bugs so that when Beta3 gets tagged today it'll be mildly useful. Most applets and engines still haven't been moved over from playground yet (my fault, really) so the next release will likely be the most useful one for people.
In any case, Happy Thanksgiving everyone ...

I'm hungry now... I want it to be thanks giving here!!! Im glad urs was good tho.
It's not like you to make any spelling mistakes, ever, so I have to give you a hard time about it. But I'm sure you had "dessert" after dinner, not "desert" :)
Thanks you for all
Happy Thanksgiving to you and P...
We are having our feast today..although ham, not turkey..
And lots of dessert here too!

Please forgive my ignorance but is Thanksgiving some kind of religous festival?
Apologies I should have known Wikipedia would have some info but it gives four answers:
1. give thanks at the conclusion of the harvest season.
2. "The Three Sisters" (i.e., beans, corn, and squash)
3. particularly grateful to Squanto, the Native Americans who taught them how to catch eel, grow corn and who served as their native interpreter
4. newly ratified Constitution
Living in England (religion is no where near as popular as the Americas I believe) and being Agnostic I tend not to follow these things but festivals are always great.
@Dave: i like to view it as institutionalized glutoney, or .. the americas celebrating something we're great at. ;)
Wow, is there something wrong with your shift key?
