It's an Ecclesiastes Day

Ever have an Ecclesiastes Day. Since it's in the Bible, it must be allowed.

What's an Ecclesiastes Day, you ask? It's a day when you really feel like saying something from the first 11 chapters of Ecclesiastes, like this (mostly RSV):

"the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those of skill; bt time and chance happen to them all."

Or

"What does someone gain by all the toil under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains for ever. The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises."

It's allowed... as long as you get to chapter 12 regularly too!
