FlaSoxxJim Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Longest night, longest noontime shadows, and the promise of gradually lengthening days from here on out. Happy Solstice Night all you closet Druids. Crack a nice old ale or doppelbock and drink long from it. Now is the solstice of the year, Winter is the glad song that you hear. Seven maids move in seven time. Have the lads up ready in a line. Join together beneath the mistletoe. By the holy oak whereon it grows. Seven druids dance in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Praise be to the distant sister sun, Joyful as the silver planets run. Seven maids move in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a cousin of Jehovah's witness, because of the emphasis on money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 It's only really worth mentioning and being called "longest night" if they add a couple hours to it to really make it the "longest". Otherwise it's just dark for a longer perion, but its the same damn number of hours between getting off of work and having to head back to work.

Sure, but now you have the most dreary darkness you can possibly have in between shifts at the salt mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the funniest stories I remember from HS, and this is a true story. In our econ class, my senior year of HS, a girl in class (who happened to be in the top 10) saw a picture on the wall of the classroom of multiple eggs standing straight up and down with no one holding them. The girl then asked the teacher how they did it. She told her that they did it on the Equinox. The girl pauses for a second, and then asks "Where is that at?"

There's one myth in serious need of busting. If you are patient and nimble enough, you can balance an egg any day of the year, and the equinox thing is a myth.
