P&C reflect on some odd facts about Lent, then discuss the possibility of a new Druze homeland in the middle east. All while drinking two Irish stouts.
Pigweed starts off with some observations about St. Patrick’s Day and Lent, and the amusing / horrible answers from ChatGPT.
The boys also address a question in Louisiana about whether alligator is “a fish” for purposes for the Lenten fast.

The Druze are a very old offshoot from Islam that still survives (barely) in the Middle East. They’ve been hunted and persecuted by Muslims for centuries. They’re spread across Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel, and have no autonomy of their own.
Now there’s a movement for the Druze to carve out their own homeland, which would create another non-Muslim area in the middle east, which will set the Muslims’ hair on fire.
