Today Is...Islamic New Year

It's 2023 as i am writing this but not everyone is in the same year as some nations calendars will be showing some very different dates but as we in the West follow the Gregorian calendar, it may be 2023 for us but as they follow the Solar Hirji calendar, the Persians will waking up in 1445 today so as we are in the future it would be impolite to not pass on what to expect.
Some guy called John Hunyadi will be turning up in your neck of the woods and try to convert you all to Christianity in that loving and peaceful way of the Church by killing as many of you as possible. Spoiler Alert: It doesn't work.
Oh, and if you get an invite from Vlad II Dracul who has just taken over in Wallachia, fake a headache.
That war that been rolling on between England and France still has some way to go, we call it the Hundred Years' War now and we are only just over halfway through.
The Mongols are going to be around your area for a few years yet and that black stuff that keeps seeping out of the ground is going to be important in a few hundreds years so don't waste it.
As we are 727 years in the future it is only fair that we share upcoming events with you unlike those Buddhists who are in 2566 and haven't told us anything and even worse are the Hebrews who are in 5783 and haven't even told us how to make those flying skateboards from the Back to the Future films.
Of course it will be another 600 odd years before you get cinema but you will like it but you might want to give '300' a miss when it comes out, the Persians don't come out of that very well.

It’s a jokey post about the Islamic calendar being in 1445. If you see that as a rant about religion then you are losing your marbles even faster than I originally thought after some of your recent comments.
