Serious (kinda) question though.

How is it chaotic if they're on the same day every year?

I don't really get the chaos thing admittedly.

Well, chaos isn't random - it just has the appearance of randomness. Chaotic systems are deterministic - no random occurence takes place - and thus ultimately predictable, if one has enough information about the first activities in the system and the effects thereof.

Chaos in the Erisian sense is not strictly speaking a chaotic system, because it is not sensitive to minor variations in the initial circumstances. Whether one reads the Principia Discordia on a plane, on train, on the plain in Spain, in the rain or while in pain, the system's output - Monty Python quotes, mainly - remains constant.

But that doesn't even have the appearance of randomness does it? If it's screwed up by a leap year then it has the appearance of order. To my face. Which will grey you all into the greeeeeeeey-ve!

Humbug I say. HUMBUG!

I love this time of year for golden apple lookalike reasons. Thanks for reminding me to go bug the grocer. Chaosmast would not be the same without quince.

Ah, quince. Reminds me of that time I appeared on Jeopardy doing "foods starting with the letter Q".

Oh, hang on... was that me? Actually, it might have been Rosie Perez, come to think of it.

If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure at the time I at least believed I was...

I THOUGH yOU WERE TOO!

We have so much in common! Let's not fight!

It's like you said that time; Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose.

quantum is (can be) random even though chaos isn't, though, right?

also quantum is clearly how santa can be in more than one place at once.
