    • CathInfo is getting in the spirit of things.

    We are moving to a light-blue theme as of today. (To get this, hit Refresh on your browser. Usually <F5>)

    But here's the big news -- we have a special way to celebrate "April Fools Day" here on CathInfo.

    Every member has a title -- like the medieval titles of old. "Eric the Red", "Leonard the Fat", etc.

    And each member also has a "smilie" assigned.

    Both the titles and the smilies are completely random, assigned by a script at random. It takes me mere seconds to "shuffle the deck" which I plan to do several times today, so we can enjoy several different titles/smilies each.

    Any appropriate description, flattering or otherwise, of a given member is purely coincidental. (I'm not joking about this part!)

    Please do not be insulted by your title -- the titles were randomly chosen by a computer and are meant in good fun. Besides, I will change them every so many hours today, so come back to see what your latest title is.


    To see what someone's title is, you can click on their profile. To see their smilie, you can view any of their posts.

    The combination of title/smilie can be quite appropriate, ironic -- in short, funny!

    I added a few new Titles for 2013 -- see if you can guess which ones! hahaha

    Enjoy!

    (This is the 3rd year we've done this, by the way.)

    P.S. Only Members get to participate in the fun. Membership is free, you know...

    • Mithrandylan the philosopher?  My humility is being tested!  Though I suppose it balances out when my little emoticon appears to be a drooling neanderthal itching his butt.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Humility? pffft. I'm the most humble person in the entire history of the universe: I am the evangelist afterall. Anyone care for an autograph?

    • Stella the Mysterious - true enough!

    This is fun. So often, April 1 is during or just before Holy Week, so not exactly in keeping with the season.

    • Ok -- it's been a couple of hours -- I'm going to re-shuffle the deck and deal out another hand!

    Stand by -- it should be done in about 5 minutes (I have to add some more last-minute new Titles)
