Anyway, happy Easter folks. The wikipedia article on Easter is actually pretty fascinating, particularly the Etymology and the origins of Easter traditions. While I've always heard people refer to a pagan basis for some of the traditions, it's interesting to see the than Venerable Bede may have just been guessing that there was a goddess Eostre.
The Easter egg article is pretty good too. I'd never heard of jarping (about 2/3 of the way down) where you try to break other peoples eggs with your own.
Google hasn't had a logo for Easter since 2001 as far as I can tell. The 2000 logo is atrocious. I wonder how they decide which events and holidays get a logo?
