"Why are all these people dirty?" That's what I think when I see all these people walking around with what appears to be dirt on their foreheads. And then I remember, "Oh yeah, it's Ash Wednesday," and I continue about my business.

Update: A Friend of Gary pointed out that it's also Chinese New Year's and Islamic New Year's Eve. Everybody party according to the dictates of your own cultural heritage! For me, that means watching "Oz: Season 3: Disc 3."
