happy estrogen day!

If you're interested in the origins of Easter, follow the link. An amusing excerpt follows:

"To go even further we can see the connection between Easter and Fertility, as we know the name for the female reproductive system came from the Goddess of Fertility. Eastre = Estrous cycle and Estrogen, the female hormone.
In the past groves of Oak trees were planted so that some could be carved to be giant phallic symbols, and celebrated on this occasion. The common greeting was to hold up the middle finger towards another person. We now consider this offensive, but it traces back to a simpler time, when fertility rituals were common and accepted."

So... in celebration, go flick someone off today. When they get upset with you, explain that you're just getting in touch with your roots. And if they don't like it, you can celebrate this day of fertility in a different, more personal way, and hop into bed with them. Surely a less offensive gesture.
