- sobe4u8k, on 04/13/2009, -1/+11I have a really weird easter tradition, in celebration of Jesus' Resurrection I hide colored eggs and tell my kids a rabbit hid them, not only that but I also go to hooters and watch The Masters...
- Drakoi, on 04/13/2009, -4/+12wait, are you saying that believing in a bunny that lays colored eggs made of chocolate is NOT wacky???? And then he hides them because Horus, errr... make that jesus disappears from the northern sky for three days in december, so let's throw a party in the spring because judas has some silver...do I have it right?
- jetpackjeff, on 04/13/2009, -1/+8uhhh why arnt the yearly crucifixions in the Philippines in this list? definitely the weirdest Easter tradition.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1901095.st ... - mindsnare, on 04/13/2009, -0/+4I think they're trying to get Australia to adopt the Bilby instead of the Easter Bunny, but the waskily wabbit is too deep into our culture, it'll never happen.
Not quite sure who "They" is but someone's behind the Bilby movement. - Jamiekin, on 04/13/2009, -0/+4Eh? I don't think the one about Australia is actually true.. we don't use the Bilby as a symbol of Easter at all over here, but the stuff about rabbits plaguing the country is true.
- fatTJ, on 04/13/2009, -0/+4How 'bout Eggs?...
Alright we'll hide 'em... - ElChapusero, on 04/13/2009, -1/+5Dugg because Jesus, the Easter holiday, and religion in general are all weird. Faith is essentially believing in a set of weird things that don't necessarily make logic sense.
- aristotle0dude, on 04/13/2009, -2/+5As a "christian" you do not celebrate the pivotal festival of the christian calendar which defines the very nature of christianity? Whatever impostor. That would be like a allegedly practising Jew eating a ham sandwich.
- jfulls, on 04/13/2009, -0/+3Seems a little late?
- meretrice, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2Just one question:
Conkers? - rhythmicdevil, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2The title of this story is sort of an oxymoron, no?
- jotux, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2BYOBW! WOOT!
- davidw00t, on 04/13/2009, -6/+8Weirdest one to me is throwing a celebration for some dead guy who might have come back from the dead and flown into the sky 2000 years ago.
Oh wait, that's all of them! - SurlyDuff, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2Number 1 also applies to Poland.
- dafin0, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2its somewhat true, you do see chocolate biblys all over the place, they kinda coexists together
(yeah im Australian) - themastersb, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2You don't even wont to try to get into the real meaning behind all that. You might end up getting killed...
- BTMPL, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2The part about poland and making bread would be true.... 100 or so years ago. Now, whenever we want to get a bread we go to the shops. Maybe, just maybe, the authors country will get those soon, too ;-)
- sobe4u8k, on 04/13/2009, -0/+2Don't worry there's a bunny.
- nogami, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1#1 Apparently called "pomlazka"

Apparently in some areas, the next day is "turn about day" and then it's the girls' turn to get even with the guys... And it's all just in good fun, nothing serious. - draftz, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1But the whole egg thing, totally normal.
- sumares, on 04/12/2009, -1/+2Damn, I barely took down my Christmas tree last week. Had I known about wacky tradition #7, I would have burned it like the Germans do :\
- anokihaish, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1But a bell? That's ***** up.
Err, sorry. #1 and #10 ftw. - KittenBraden, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1Why don't they start eating bunnies in Australia then? As an easter tradition, "We've had enough of that *****, let's eat it!, all hail ot the bilbo"
- rickyli99, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1I was just about to say the same thing about the Philippines. Here's a video for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI19pLL9VKM My uncle put himself thru this because my cousin was "possessed."
- SgtPepper167, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1I like #10
- W0lfcake, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1Lmfao so desperate to make a post that you make things up like the Polish thing. I have google too you *****.
- GraceHead, on 04/15/2009, -0/+1Easter predates the birth of Christ much less His death or resurrection. Get your facts straight, man. It is Babylonian celebration of Ishtar.
The new ordinance that Jesus gave to believers the evening before His death was breaking bread and drinking wine on Passover. Find where He instituted bunnies and eggs on a Sunday and I'll apologize. - nemodot, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1what about the spanish Tomatina?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatina - homescrubb, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1My family is Greek- we have a tradition very much like Latvia's egg cracking. Hard boiled eggs are dyed red and after dinner, each person gets an egg, and you go in a circle knocking the ends of each other's eggs. The person with the last remaining uncracked egg is said to have good luck for the following year. Off hand you would think that the person who goes first will have less of a chance at winning, due to more strikes from others eggs. This fortunately, however, is not the case!
- inactive, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1The whole thing is weird.
You're celebrating the day some "savior" turned into a Zombie. And uh... then some rabbit comes and hides eggs on kids.
All of it is nonsensical, we just don't realize it since that's what our culture conditioned us with. - QueenOfAStoner, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1We have a tradition in my country where we beat a person senseless till their eye socket falls out, rip deep to the heart of their soul and rip it out, steal their coat then mash their heads with easter eggs and feed the blood to the young. Recently been instated for the Neutral Award Of Potential as a cultural phenomenon in which ever ways possible, you wouldn't ever seen this event happen in some time. For sure, confidence can be instated, as King of Nigeria I can and will do the utmost for secure your bank acounts in time for the transaction. Talk soon, mail details back for security.
Adekunle Banjo, King Of Nigeria - skunkops, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1The Bilby is an endangered species, so having it represented in chocolate is designed to increase awareness and fuel conservation efforts. Still tastes delicious in chocolate form, tho.
- carlingford, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0Nuts from a Horse Chestnut tree
- inactive, on 04/13/2009, -1/+1It's probably some Steve Irwin fanboy
- Lagstorm, on 04/13/2009, -1/+1Atheaster!
No bunny
No eggs - Rievaulx, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0Forgot about Russian "klukva" again. Damn.
- inactive, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0Not sure why you're getting dugg down.
It IS weird. Very few of us are intelligent enough to step back and think, "Hmm.. the undead. Really? And we pretend to eat his body and drink his blood?"
I don't care what someone's religion is, even if they are Christian - they have to admit that is a bizarre ***** belief. If not, I challenge them to reply to this and explain how it isn't. - BTMPL, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0No, not really - the tradition of whiping is alive only in the most rural parts of the country. The rest sticks to using buckets of water on unsuspicious strangers ;]
- Bex5, on 04/13/2009, -0/+0To say that Australians prefer the Bilby is not entirely true, in the sea of chocolate easter bunnies, the Bilby is only marketed by one brand (Cadbury) and it's only available in one style. Sure, some people may buy them but they are the extreme minority marketing-wise
- ZombieAnt, on 04/13/2009, -3/+3My favorite one is about the zombie messiah. What will they think of next?
- Kaegro, on 04/13/2009, -5/+4The weirdest tradition I've seen is where a bunch of people gather together and say a bunch of words for some guy who they said died and resurrected, moved a huge ass boulder by himself and then ascended to some magical fairy tale world. riiiiight.
- GraceHead, on 04/13/2009, -5/+3As a Christian, I no longer celebrate Easter, because it is wacky in every way.
For Passover next year, I will be serving rabbit. Bring some slaw. - aristotle0dude, on 04/13/2009, -7/+3davidw00t, were you raised by wolves? Show some respect. Nobody is forcing you to read the story.
