1. I still don't understand Thanksgiving at all. 2. I still need to buy that game, because I was amazed by the demo. 3. I wouldn't mind some turkey right now. 4. Black Label is quite the smooth tasting whiskey.
There are two reasons. The BS Myth Reason: Once upon a time the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, didn't have food, and so shared food with the people who they called Indians even though they weren't related in any way to the people of India. They lived happily ever after and butterflies flew around whilst pixies danced on flowers in the forest. The Real Reason: The Pilgrims wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact because they were too lazy to sail the Mayflower to Virginia where they were supposed to land and so had to write a new constitution for where they landed instead. This was the first ever written constitution of laws in America. Now we celebrate for reasons unknown.
