 Hi Tamara,

 OOC, which spring equinox did you prefer?

 The one for Australia for 2008?   I think that's 22nd of September.

 Do we change Australian Pc Day in two years from now (when the
 spring equinox will be the 23rd)?

 Do we flip the bird at people elsewhere in the southern hemisphere
 (closer or further from the dateline) where the equinox will usually
 be on a different day to what it is here?

 Do we ignore the northern hemisphere types who have their
 spring equinox on one of several days in March?  Do they have
 International Pc Day on a different day than those of us in the
 southern hemisphere?  Perhaps we can have two Semi-International
 Pc days - one for real people, one for northerners.

 Maybe we could have the first Sunday full moon that occurs
 after the vernal equinox.  Unless that's already taken.

 What message, and to whom, are we trying to send again?

 Jedd.

 PS.  IIRC, Penny's May claim was written before midday EST 1st April.
