imported_Wildman Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I noticed that on my Far Side Daily Calander as well. Must be annual sheep-shearing day or somefink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesreidau Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Can't blame you for not knowing about Waitangi day, which celebrates the signing of the treaty of Waitangi between Maori and Pakeha (europeans). Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 What PeterNZ said. btw, New Zealand is in the Pacific, to the west of Australia. Australia is in the pacific as well, and is not to be confused with Austria, which is in Europe, just beneath Germany. Just thought I'd expand your geographical horizons. Mace PS Hi Mom!

JonS Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Originally posted by Mace: ... Australia is in the pacific as well ...Mace, Does Aussie have a Pacific coastline? I thought not :confused: Thanks for the thought, H. Oberst, though it's not really the kind of event where you wish one another "Happy ...". Not that it's a solemn or sad occasion. Think of it like Independance Day (or sumfink). Wildman Regarding the sheepshearing comment. If it was a joke, har de har. If it wasn't, I'll feel free to conclude that the 4th of July celebrations in the USA commemorate the day when 'Mericans divested themselves from the troublesome burden of independant thought.
