26 Kislew 5769: Ḥanukkah, day 2/Festivus

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “Send a message to the people of Zimbabwe”.

Relevant to Divine Misconceptions: “Madoff and Rubashkin: A contrast in two scandals”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Happy Hanukka (1988)”
  
• A cartoon someone named “Gene” sent me a link to
  
• “Reproduction of 2,100-year-old calculator deepens mystery”
  
• “More? What the Dickens are you talking about?”
  
• “Put your fears in perspective”
  

Today’s weird thing is an item which anyone should be able to recognize as being an attempt at combining two incompatible holidays, the Santa Dreidel. Enjoy (or be scared or something), share the weirdness, and happy Ḥanukkah.
