Three blondes died in an accident trying to jump the Grand Canyon. They are at the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates only if they can answer one simple religious question.
The question posed by St. Peter is - "What is Easter"?
The first blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when we all get together, eat turkey and are thankful."
"Wrong!, you are not welcome here, I'm afraid. You must go to the other place!" replies St. Peter. Then he turns to the second blonde, and asks her the same question - "What is Easter?"
The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."
St. Peter looks at the second blonde, bangs his head on the pearly gates in disgust and tells her she's wrong and will have to join her friend in the other place; she is not welcome in Heaven.
He then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "Do YOU know what Easter is?"
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is."
"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.
"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands and feet. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.
Then the third blonde continues ... "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter!"

Amazing, really, how incredibly stupid people can be. I truly cannot believe what I heard the other day. I was just walking back to Towers with my friend Jane when we saw an adorable groundhog on the hill, eating grass in an adorably groundhog-like way. This was when Jane and I learned that college students will stand in the rain for twenty minutes just to watch small furry animals that happen to be very cute.
Anyway, we watched said cute furry animal for a while, and then a random female person arrived with her random male-type friend. She saw the cute animal as well, and pointed it out to her male-person. Then Jane and I made our second observation of the day- incredibly dumb people can make it to college.
“Look at the cute animal,” said ditzy female. “I wonder what it is. I asked (name of random female friend), but she said it was a groundhog. It can’t be a groundhog, they only come out one day a year.”
Ditzy female and male friend moved on, which was a good thing, since Jane and I were in the process of trying not to explode from holding in our laughter. Groundhogs only come out once a year? I suppose they can only come out between 7 AM and 6 PM, right? I’ll bet she believes in the ‘ghost’ in Wayne Manor. Heck, I bet she even thinks they serve real food in the dining hall and that there really is a shuttle somewhere. Please, someone save the world from a future run by people like this.
