2. So this Sunday Jesus rises from the dead...
...and if he sees his shadow, it's six more weeks of winter.

3. The latest date Easter can ever be is April 24th
My dad's birthday was April 24th and he would tell us that every year. As far as I can recall this is the first year I can ever remember Easter being on April 24th.
My dad has been dead for @ 35 years.
Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (first day of spring).
Since the first day of spring is March 21st, and with 28 days between full moons then 28 days after March 21 would be April 18th or so. Then it would be the next Sunday past that. Ergo April 24th qualifies as the last possible date. At least that is my understanding.

6. By the way, didn't mean to sound snarky. Just humorous.

7. Why don't they make rock hard solid chocolate rabbits?
When I was a kid, it took me almost a month to gnaw the ear off.
