Yes, methinks he doth protest too much. Tom Send a noteboard - 17/12/2011 05:23:56 PM
Um, yeah; having checked myself now I DEFINITELY overcomplicated this, but htf can the "Twelve Days of CHRISTMAS" run until 5 January?! :confused:

Never heard of "Twelfth Night"? Which is indeed on the evening of the 5th January, the night before Epiphany or Three Kings or however you want to call it (who cares, as long as you get three kings' pie, right?).

I got the question wrong myself as well, I should admit, couldn't be bothered to count (and in any case I would've thought the twelfth night had to be the sixth of January instead of the fifth, so well).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Four. Got two unfortunate guesses on the dates, I guess. And number four is just lame. *NM* Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:10:45 PM 253 Views

Ya know, that song seems kinda strange on reflection Isaac - 16/12/2011 08:27:14 PM 706 Views
Yeah, they do interpret it rather strangely there... but I guess grammatically it makes sense. Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:16:56 PM 596 Views
I have always considered it ambiguous, personally. Joel - 17/12/2011 01:34:46 PM 647 Views

You obviously weren't raised Catholic Tom - 17/12/2011 05:22:51 PM 591 Views
No, but I have a good friend who is Catholic and attends a Midnight Mass seemingly every week. Joel - 17/12/2011 07:19:17 PM 603 Views
