thanks Aadil,

Pumpkin pie is also traditional for this day but according to American History there was no Turkey of pumping pie that first Thanksgiving Day :smile:

Not too many Americans know this but when you become an American Citizen like myself ,

We have plenty of turkeys in Africa. We call them politicians. :whistle:

Shaunak 28. November 2008, 08:13

We call ours snakes....

qlue 28. November 2008, 08:53

...snakes are worshiped in India aren't they? :whistle:

Shaunak 28. November 2008, 10:37

Not those ones...:D

Some cultures esp in the hilly north regions do consider snakes to be auspicious but some dont.

I understand that. There are almost as many different religions in your country as there are stars in Bollywood. :lol:

Imagine what I had to go throught for my social studies and history exam! P:

I'm glad we didn't have 'social studies' when I was at school. In those days we had 'religious education' instead. Of course, that was mostly just another name for 'christian indoctrination'. In high school we had a very liberal teacher for religious instruction who insisted that we learn a bit about other beliefs. That started me wondering how ten billion beliefs that aren't christian could all be wrong. I came to the conclusion that the idea That God had chosen to reveal himself exclusively to an elitist group of people didn't make sense. I figure that God must have revealed himself to all people. This is something that is also taught in some religions.

:eyes: Qlue... Shame on you for not knowing. The slaughtering of the damn turkeys has gone on for months... We just celebrate it on one day so we can take off work...

:whistle:
