Thanksgiving Reminder

This is just a reminder that next year is only one of 6 predictable times (8, if you're a Republican) Chanuka will ever fall out on Thanksgiving. See my analysis from two years ago. I also underestimated Steve Morse's tool. He recently contacted me and informed me that he did account for the change in Thanksgiving's date (serves me right for not looking at his site's source code). However, he did not consider the Republican Thanksgivings. He has also recently updated his site with some analysis on this issue, see here: http://stevemorse.org/jcal/chanukah.html

And, my original analysis is still up herehttp://eli.lansey.net/antics/ThanksgivingsWeb.nb If you don't have Mathematica, if you want to read that file, you can install Wolfram's free CDF player and browser plugin, available herehttp://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/
