Gute Monade!
Goeiemorgen! I have been told that it's spooky season 👻 . Do we consider that an American perversion of our Celtic traditions or do we roll with it?
As with many American things, looks like a lot of it is from Scotland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Halloween#Scotland
5th November is when we have a weird sectarian holiday about anti-Catholicism, terrorism, torture, and execution
some factory owner in guangdong producing Guy Fawkes masks is very grateful for that one
(speaking of Celts don't know if there are others here who geek out equally on history and language, but I've been tremendously enjoying this podcast recently https://historyofenglishpodcast.com/)
I'm gonna have to check this out, I misinterpreted this at first. If you're interested in British history, the, uh, British history podcast is absolute gold.
Moin moin!

Halloween and all those holidays fly all over my Greek head 🙂 Autumn is pretty boring, our spooky stuff happens around Christmas/New Years where the goblins that try to chop down the tree that holds the earth to the sky come up and play tricks 🙂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Halloween interesting, whole page for this
Here’s the one about the christmas goblins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallikantzaros
Or for the classic horror stories: XML! Enterprise Java Beans! CORBA!
Sgml! POP3! Internet Explorer 5
Ray wins.
Makes me think, when I used 6 of those technologies at work in the last 3 years :thinking_face:
