The clue is inspired by a supposedly observed national day. Though I am not sure where they get all these ideas from...
I guess it gives people a reason to celebrate if they are stuck for things to do. Or some ideas for what to have for lunch[^]

Hey - I visit QA, and that is celebrated every day there!

The CPian New Year is a festival celebrated across the internet all year round. Like the Chinese New Year it honours a chosen animal from a pre-defined list. At the end of the year the cycle continues by moving on to the next animal. When all animals have had a turn, the list is repeated for all of eternity.
The list is as follows: The gobbledygook. End of list.

45 minutes of hard thinking that took! Even got a bit of a hangover headache today.
I hope you and Griff aren't competing to see who can hold out the longest...

I certainly am - I filled in as emergency pkfox at the start of the week and don't want to do another CCC this week. It's a good clue though.

You can have it. The question was complete gibberish to me at first so you obviously got it before me.

Thanks. I figured I should put some effort in for my first official attempt.
I have also rustled up a couple more for the bank... just in case I accidentally get another one right in the future! (I can't promise they will be as good though!)

You can say *pull sunglasses* you didn't see it coming.
I know that book, it's touching.
Still, I don't look forward to read it.

I think I may actually have read it once before, because the story kinda rings a bell...

Back when I still used Win95/97, I had downloaded a few HAL soundfiles and set them for all kinds of events. 'My mind is going' came when shutting down.
Come to think of it, the file for compilation errors was not HAL. It was Nomad: "You are in error! You are a biological unit! You are inperfect!"
