    OK. Funny, very funny, but a little uncool.

    Are you grumpy because you are working on the Good Friday or was it the last night "preparation" for it that make you grumpy?

    Last Supper?

    I'm sorry, I'm not Christian and never have been. When you say "Last Supper" I think, well sure, but that was 2000 years ago. Do people have big meals Thursday night to honor that? I don't remember the Christian side of my family doing that when I was a kid and I don't remember people talking about it when I was a kid either. Is it something only some sects do?

    Around here people tend to go out the night before as most have the Friday off, otherwise no, not that I'm aware off but then again I'm not the most reliable authority on religious rituals.

    I was raised christian but that's about it. There is no special festivities or honorations for last supper, at least that I know of. I just drank a few beers yesterday πŸ™‚

    OK. Funny, very funny, but a little uncool.

    I found it a rather fitting response to somebody who clearly seemed they felt entitled to an instant response. They came across as being irritated that somebody had not provided them with the answer that there were unable to figure out on their own. Seriously, 10 minutes on a forum is nothing. It isn't like they have a paid help desk contract with SSC.

    I'm not saying the other person was correct to be so snippy about getting an instantaneous response. I just thing we ought to be nice. For mean you can always go to StackOverflow.

    I certainly don't disagree with both sentiments there. πŸ˜‰

    Actually there is "Holy Thursday" which is about the "Last Supper". Then "Good Friday" is the day of the crucifixion.

    Actually there is "Holy Thursday" which is about the "Last Supper". Then "Good Friday" is the day of the crucifixion.

    Here's a couple of things to help you out. During Lent (which ends the day before Easter), Catholics aren't allowed to eat meat on Fridays and tend to give up something important to them. You may hear lots of stories about people giving up Coke or chocolate or sweets. Good Friday is also a fast day (the last fast day of Lent and the last day people have to eat fish instead of meat).

    "The Catholic Church treats Good Friday as a fast day, which in the Latin Church is understood as having only one full meal (but smaller than a regular meal) and two collations (a smaller repast, two of which together do not equal one full meal) and on which the faithful abstain from eating meat."

    So Holy Thursday is a good ramp up to fasting on Friday and then having Easter Fun over the rest of the weekend.

    Me too. I would not have been nearly as nice. I probably would have started a tongue lashing about how we aren't here to be somebody's personal consultant at no charge so they can look good to their boss/client and get paid. 😎
