Who knew that the early track of 40 days was a very effective method of measuring and metering out each passing solar year? That ancient writings and artifacts (including certain monuments) make it clear that a cycle of 40 days was once carefully time tracked?
For the math-obsessed out there, there is a formula and axiom that I won't go into (since I found it on some bizarre creationalist website). It's enough to say that the 40 days and 40 nights has some sort of ancient meaning. We've all heard about Moses going out and fasting for the 40 days and 40 nights, that there are 40 days and 40 nights in lent (for the christians) or post Mardi-gras, pre-easter bunny (for the heathens), and that there is a 2002 movie entitled 40 Days and 40 Nights starring Josh Hartnett who, for some reason, is determined to stay celebate for that time period.
But did you know that there are now 40 days and 40 nights left of hiatus?

What will you do?? What are the plans for breaking the "fast?" Because you know, there has to be a ritual associated with "the end."
