11/12   Does Ramadan always come in the fall/winter, or does is slowly move
        from year-to-year such that it sometimes falls in the summer?
        \) it moves
        \_ They use a 12 (lunar) month calendar.  No leap months.  So, it
           shifts backwards about 3 weeks each year.
           \_ Thanks.  I guess fasting will get a bit more unpleasant in about
              6 years. -op
           \_ Why is Chinese NY always near the beginning of the year, then?
              Isn't that also on the lunar calendar?
              \_ they use ~13 lunar months
<troll>
              \_ I believe they have a leap month, so sometimes the year
                 is 12 months, sometimes 13.  That's how the Jewish
                 calendar is too.
                 \_ The Jews, always trying to screw up what day Christmas
                    falls on each year.  I hate that.
