For those of you who aren't Catholics, or for those Catholics who don't care, Lent has already started. In fact, it started last Wednesday. I suppose standard procedure would have been to post it then, but I had someone post a link I wanted to respond to, and I needed a few days for my blood pressure to come down.
So, what is Lent? Lent is a part of the Catholic calender that is, essentially, a forty-day warm up to Easter. I've already started living on yogurt and berries.
As part of my Lenten series of sort-of religious blog posts, here are some FAQs about Lent.
UPDATE Most of those questions originally in this post have been moved to my new job at Examiner.com -- in short, I get paid. :)
However, the below question wouldn't fit ... if only because the comment stream below.
Enjoy.
