oh hehe.. forgot its Yom Kuppur.

i dont follow this "holy day"..

Five prohibitions are traditionally observed, as detailed in the Jewish oral tradition (Mishnah tractate Yoma 8:1):

No eating and drinking
No wearing of leather shoes
No bathing or washing
No anointing oneself with perfumes or lotions
No marital relations

Then why the hell don't you tell us what you are talking about anyway, so that this thread is not a complete waste of time for the vast majority of people that read it?

Just bang someone you're not married too. Problem solved.

Bi-zing. That's what happened in the days before fine print I guess.

The first post may seem like a waste of time for you, but the thread appears to provide all the answers to your questions.

I don't find some of those meaningless though - anything religious falls into the "useless" category for me, along with birthdays, most marriages, and christmas :p The others are just an excuse to get drunk and/or laid :p
