Easter got it's name from the goddess Ostara - I believe she was an English goddess of fertility - not sure, she could have been Gaelic or German - I can look into it if anybody really cares. But the upshot of it is, the Christians just subverted the previously pagan holiday and made it into a "holy" day. (just a note: I am not holding this against anyone. I'm willing to bet if the tables had been reversed, the same would have happened. Besides, we're still around, so they didn't get us all.)

Okay, history lesson over. Everybody can wake up now!!!!
