Just for fun while we wait for January

Just a few things, having nothing whatsoever to do with the Heels, to bide time while we wait for the season to restart in earnest:

Someone tried to collect the "best of" the email attachments you may have gotten during 2004. I think I saw some that were funnier, but in this "top 10" there are definitely some keepers.

Also, someone tried to find out how Christmas came to be on December 25th. I love stuff like this. According to this article, there are two main theories: one is that the 25th is approximately when the days begin to lengthen, and thus a symbol of hope and abundant life; the other is based on scriptural interpretation and inference.
