It's Lunar New Year (as measured by cycles of the moon) - the other one was the Solar New Year (as measured by the Earth's revolution around the Sun). :)

[Saintly]

yeah, happy lunar new year!

as well as the first day of lent!

(not only u gotta give money, you gotta fast!) *sigh* :)

[TheDirtyDigger]

Does anybody know what actual chronological year it is according to the Chinese calendar if such a date exists?

I know the Jews are around the year 5-6000 and the Muslims are at around 1400.

I've got a question for ya, I was born in the first half of January in 1977 which is the year of the Snake. Since chinese new year doesn't come around to february, does that mean I could be a dragon (1976) instead of a snake? That has always confused me...:confused:

[roller]

Tetsuwan you is a snake

because you didnt show any dragon characteristics to me when we met :)

buggered if i know, i bet you are a snake, then we can be snakes together :D

奥さんも分からないっすか？とにかく、君は間違いなくて；昭和52年（1977年）のチャイニーズニューイ ヤー（日本語ではいったい何と言うかな？中華正月？）はやはり2月からだったので、君はやは辰年（たつどし ）である。（＾＿＾）うちの妻の生年月日も昭和52年1月、辰年です。

P.S.: Googleで見つかった！日本語で”Chinese New Year"は旧正月（きゅうしょうがつ）と言うんです。

Um, no - TC's suspicions are indeed correct. :)

[GoktimusPrime]

Remind me in 2 months' time. :p

[autobreadticon]

[GoktimusPrime]

I wish the former would be an accurate description of me too - unfortunately it's only the latter. :p

[TheDirtyDigger]

remember that their relationship didn't last very long at all - Skids did dump Charlene (mostly because he felt that being a full time Autobot warrior did not allow for him to invest in a relationship with a civilian), who quickly found a new interest.

And now the ultimate love story...
