Here is an interesting article printed online that was in the Waikato Times yesterday [www.stuff.co.nz]

There was actually more in the printed detail. One paragraph stated that to a lot of this age demographic, to them religion is a Muslim wearing a Burkah. That is the extent of the knowledge of their religious views.

I guess Google are fence sitting on this one with regards an Easter banner.

Great isn't it when they don't know the difference between religion & Christian?

What I want to know, is where is the Google Easter Bunny game that we used to play? You know, the one where Easter eggs with letters on them would float down and you had to catch the ones in the right order that spelt Google. It's disappeared. I've found plenty of references to it but no clickable game. Even the Google logo website has no reference to it. It's all been obliterated!

Gone into cyberspace like so many things these days.
Good reading on the 2 links posted here, I had my say probably to deaf ears.

Irene, Sadly, I think what you posted could apply to many other things in life as well as Easter or any other points of religion. I had a smile when I read about "Lady Gaga", I suppose you could say "whatever it takes". That is probably why I am an advocate of the use of mnemonics for my students.
There are many who have curious minds and want to learn and know more; they are richer for it. There are also many who don't fall into that category.
I think I'd better stop right there.

Just discovered the 150th Anniversary of the First World's Fair - it's fab - run the magnifying glass over the picture - see how many moving objects you can find! Love it!
Regards,

It's a fun one. How many things did you spot through the magnifying glass that weren't there, or were very different without the magnification? I saw two red things in the tree; the lady in the red box wearing a green dress spins around; the fountain is playing; the clock changes to one which shows its insides; the train whistle pumps out music notes and 'breath'. Did I miss anything? I kept returning to the carriage and horses expecting them to 'do' something but nothing happens there.
