    I stand by my statement. A lot of us devote time to helping people with things that aren't so obvious, in the hopes that we might get the same in return, or learn something along the way. It's offensive when some people can't be bothered to do the slightest bit of their own work, yet want to benefit from ours.

    It's not just here. In the workplace, or in school, go and ask your boss, colleague, or professor for the answer to something you can look up in a second and see what their response is.

    It's not about this one silly question - it's about the attitude and the constant stream of such things.

  2. Actually, it's all the presidents birthdays, not just Lincoln and Washington. Too bad they don't have a holiday for your birthday, they'd call it "dumbass who thinks he's smart" day.

  3. Or the low life road ragers who get furious over anything. It makes my day when me and the guys are out in our RVs and we surround a Road Rager between 4 big Winnebegos. Can you say rolling trash compactor.

    NYSE says it is closed on Monday for Washington's Birthday, not President's Day!

    See: http://www.nyse.com/Frameset.html?displayPage=/about/1022963613686.html


    "*Washington's Birthday was first declared a federal holiday by an 1879 act of Congress. The Monday Holiday Law, enacted in 1968, shifted the date of the commemoration of Washington's Birthday from February 22 to the third Monday in February, but neither that law nor any subsequent law changed the name of the holiday from Washington's Birthday to President's Day.
    Although the third Monday in February has become popularly known as President's Day, the NYSE's designation of Washington's Birthday as an Exchange holiday (Rule 51) follows the form of the federal holiday outlined above (section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code)."
