Return of the Paschal Quiz

It occurs to me that 1) I liked my quiz from last year and 2) my boss and supervisor are both out of the office for the afternoon, leaving me with a newly-cleaned-off desk and a few hours of less-than-totally-full time.  Therefore I’ve decided to relink to the quiz and fulfill the commandment that, at this festive season, you should bore the crap out of everybody. 

Don’t fret, my friends - I have lots of weird new dross to post too.  Don’t lose faith.

I like this quiz, but I wish you’d asked and answered a question I’ve had for quite some time:  Why on Passover do we claim that we are reclining yet we never are actually reclining during the seder.  We wait to recline until all the damn guests have left.

i think i can answer that one, jadediu.  you *do* recline, or you should.  if you aren’t reclining, you’re missing part of the joy of no longer being enslaved.  in my seders, which are modeled after Chuckles’, i put big cushy pillows on everyone’s chairs, so that people can be as comfy as possible.  and i recline, too, so that i can get as much food as possible down my gullet.

You so cool!
