    I'm not Catholic, so I won't be doing anything.

    I read on wikipedia that people put ashes on their foreheads on this day. Didn't know that.

    ^ I already answered that, sir. ;) That would be like Yao giving up his height.
    Cool. So why are you in this thread? :)
    Don't know what article exactly you read, sir, but we don't. The priest does that for us (we don't do it ourselves):
    But... I guess other religions' peeps or peeps without religions could also answer what they could be giving up this year. :cool: Show your discipline, I guess?

    I tried to give up jerking 2 years ago.. and I broke on the 2nd day, so I'm probably gonna have to settle for something easier.


    I think posters on this forum should give up making new tmac threads every hour... that would be something worth giving up.

    I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, it's so cool to make fun of people who are religious.

    My girlfriend suggested I give that up for Lent. I chose to give up Facebook instead just because of the trade deadline. Rockets > Friends and family.
