The date Easter is celebrated moves a around year to year in order to
preserve its relationship to the astronomical phenomena that would have
occurred at the time of the resurrection (around 30 A.D.)

Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring
equinox.

This year 2008, is the earliest Easter any of us will see for the rest of
our lives,

The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be in the year 2160.

The last time it was this early was in 1913.

The latest date Easter can fall is April 25.

The last time that happened was in 1943.

The next time it will happen is in the year 2038.

FEAR THE FUTURE
Cryptic and vague Bible passages
are nonetheless laser-focused on
today's headlines

Whoever said money makes the world go 'round...well, he must have seen
something like http://biffstoejam.com/paypal.html
It's actually sad that the economic forces have driven these individuals to
compromise their ideals and...oh fuck. Who am I kidding?! With the sheer
brilliance of its premise and the massive amount of content and bonus sites,
there's no way for you to not get your money's worth.
