A Snarky Halloween History

Layout article by LordDilly on 30 October 2006, tagged as halloween and history

It's Halloween again, and in keeping with O-Nerd's long tradition, we've endeavored to bring you some spooky insights as only Nick Dilmore can deliver them. From Halloween's inception as a Celtic festival to the more modern rumors of razor blades in the apples, LordDilly covers it all with humor, wit and a pint of Guinness ... or two. So, take a break from the candy-induced comma, banish that mental image of your overweight friend in her naughty schoolgirl costume, and take a Dilmorian trip through the history of Halloween. Inside you are sure to find plenty of thrills, chills, and gratuitous references to booze. Enjoy.

Practical (or maybe not so much...) application of OmniNerd articles by mikeforbes :: NR5

I'll have you know that reading this article endowed me with the requisite trivial knowledge to totally ace the Jeopardy! Halloween category tonight (from the comfort of my couch, of course). Thanks to OmniNerd and LordDilly, I raked in a cool (and imaginary) $3,000 this evening.

[pauses for a moment of self-reflection]

Wow. I am such a nerd.
