What are the religious beliefs of stars?
Stars have many religious beliefs, depending what religion you are talking about. The only one that I know of (because I am Christian) is that when a while after humans were on Earth, they asked God to give them a source of light at nighttime. So God created little "bulb objects" (known as stars today) in a bucket, and he told mankind, "Use them wisely... each of you may have one, so keep them safe.
So one night, the village fool needed some light in his house, and he grabbed the whole bucket instead of just one star. On his way home, he tripped, and all the stars were scattered in the sky. God was mad at him, so he made the fool into a much bigger star (known today as the Moon), and threw him up in the sky, too. So that is how our stars and Moon came to be.
How do people claim to celebrate Halloween in Hunkydoodle Newfoundland?
In Canada, everyone fasts for three days, beginning at 6:00 p.m. local time, exactly 72 hours before Hallowe'en actually begins, which is at 6:00 p.m. local time on October 31st.
At 6:00, every light in the country is turned off and we all sit in the dark, and in total silence, until midnight, so that the evil spirits can't find us.
At the stroke of midnight, all the lights come on again. Then we have the biggest feast of the year and we drink large amounts of intoxicating beverages all night long. November 1st is a National Holiday, called "Dominion Recovery Day," but everyone calls it "Hangover Day."
How many species are there for chinchillas?
Well, while only one species of this extraordinarily large group of semi-aquatic carnivorous herbivores is commonly kept as a pet (Chinchilla Apetiswhatiamus), there are at current 42 1/2 other speices in this genus as well, ranging in size from the two-ounce tree mangaboonacka (Chinchilla Foodforalli) from Madagascar up to the four-hundred pound Hagglesnorge (Chinchilla Asskickus) of East Asia and Poland. There is also the Needle-tailed-Queensland-Ragglyopuck Hunting Chinchilla (Chinchilla Raggley), that lives in small burrows near the sea shores of South Africa and that feeds upon herbs and frogs, and in the Arctic circle a small white species without a common name (Chinchilla Snowythingus) dwells inside mounds of ice and eats seals. The only member dangerous to humans is the Flingy Dancing fish Chinchilla (Chinchilla Gruss Geo-Miamar) from Siam. It sometimes steals small children to eat if it's usual diet of crabs, berries, and mushrooms is depleted by overuse of the land by selfish farming tribes. Some, such as the Flat-headed chinchilla (Chinchilla Bucklestampus) of South America, are useful to humans for the ivory that grows in their horns.
What is the grimace from McDonald's?
Shhhhh!...it's a huge secret, but Grimace is actually a prehistoric amoeba! You see, when H.G. Wells wrote "The Time Machine", he was merely reporting fact. We can't tell all the details, but in Wells' research for the book, he traveled very far back...back to WHEN IT ALL STARTED. How do you think that the current scientists came up with "all life began in a prehistoric soup" and the amoeba was the first life form? They aren't guessing..they studied the Grimace. Grimace is really the youngest of his particular amoeboid group. He had just been split when Wells found him and took him for a particularly attractive fungus. Little did Wells know that Grimace was merely very young and would grow to such enormous size. Grimace's pseudo limbs began to protrude about 1950, and his "voice" (actually a psionic projection into your brain) began to manifest about 1980. We do not know precisely what Grimace will be when he is fully developed, but the scientific world will wait with great anticipation. In the mean time, he is merely a harmless pitchman for a popular food chain. Don't ask how he eats...all amoebas do it the same way. (not particularly appetizing to watch.)
What is the mascot of providence?
In addition to the Friar mascot, the school's animal mascot was a dog named "Friar Boy."
A Friar is a mendicant order.
The mendicant orders are religious orders which depend directly on the charity of the people for their livelihood. In principle they do not own property, either individually or collectively, and have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on religious work.
Boys have cooties because they have one brain cell when they are born. To fill the empty space where their other brain cells should be, the bodies of boys create cooties, an undetectable mixture of scents that deflects girls without them noticing. Boys can only create one batch of cooties because of the amount of energy it takes to create it. Cooties are created in the baby boys' early stages but are not released from their empty brain cell until they turn two. As boys get older, cooties slowly seep through the pores in their heads, causing girls to call them "icky" and "gross". Soon, the boys run out of cooties, somehow manage to grow another brain cell, and end up slightly more mature then a first grader.

Bologna History
The Lighter Side of History
(Which means some to no historical facts and a whole lot of bologna)
The origin of dancing is directly related to the discovery of fire. It so happened that after man first discovered fire, many would sit around this fire and chant their chants in praise of fire while banging on logs and rocks. Many logs and sticks were continually placed into the fire to keep it going as humanity had not yet figured out to make fire. These burning logs and sticks created many burning embers and even hot coal like lumps of simmering fire. One day, while the tribe happily banged on logs and rocks while chanting their praise of fire, the crackling and popping fire expelled one of these hot lumps of "coal" out onto the ground where a man was leaving the chanting circle to go relieve his bladder of the fermented rotten fruit juice that made fire chanting so pleasurable. As he was looking for a private tree by which to relieve himself, he accidentally stepped on this ejected lump of "coal" and instantly began hopping up and down, contorting in agony as he staggered in a drunken circle about the fire. Coincidentally, this motion of body coincided with the beat of the chant. This became the first known dance and from that time out, humanity endeavored to stock up on fermented and rotten fruit juice so they might happily dance to the chants in praise of fire.

What does the oldest urban legend date back to?
According to Wikipedia, it is impossible to exactly date the urban legend. The term has its roots in folklore dating back to mythology. It was only in the 1980's that the exact term "urban legend" came into being to distinguish it from the "folktale." One thing that is common to all urban legends is that "it happened to a friend" and there's no date or name attached to verify the tale.
So on that criteria, the Cinderella tale could be the longest extant urban legend. The original tale came from ancient Egypt where the slave girl Rhodopsis was washing clothes and an eagle took her sandal and dropped it at the feet of Pharoah Amasis. They eventually marry. There are indications that this story was already old when it was recorded by Strabos the Greek in the first century BCE.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...In the misty dawn of time before there was recorded histrory there was a tribe of intrepid inventors. Throughout their oral history there were many ocurances that were very disturbing. One of these was the disappearance of the former tribal leader Blarg.As we now know, Blarg was the unfortunate victim of the first volcano erupting, but the tribal members had no way of knowing that volcanos were dangerous natural ocurances. The marvelous tale of Blarg's disappearance became the stuff of the first urban legend.
Blarg was the most notorious tribal leader in the vicinity. His sheer visciousness was renowned far and wide. When the lesser mortals of his tribe dared to show inventiveness, Blarg ruthlessly quashed all such upstarts...usually with a beating. Fortunately, his visciousness was only exceeded by his stupidity. When two of the "lesser mortals" Gronk and Ogg returned to the camp from an expedition with the marvelous y'Ron rocks which were much admired by the ladies of the camp, Gronk took the unprecidented step of trying to get some of these rocks for himself.
Since no one knew how volcanos worked, Gronk had no way of knowing that a volcano could kill. He marched up the slope of the volcano and overcome by the noxious gasses, fell in at the exact moment that the mountain erupted. Gronk and Ogg were witnesses of this event, and they tried to explain to the tribe what had happened. Being somewhat culpable in the man's death, they embroidered upon the event somewhat.
As the explanation grew ever more complicated, it soon became the stuff of legend. Blarg (being dead and not able to object) became the first known "hero" who stopped the earth from trembling by his noble sacrifice. As time gradually dulled the edge of his evil works while he was alive, he became revered as a mighty, noble man who did great deads.
As all hero worship does, Blarg soon became a cautionary hero. While the tribe appreciated his sacrifice (and his absense), they told their children the tale with a view to keeping them safe..with limited success. Thus was born the first urban legend, hero worship, and the tradition of children doing dangerous things to try to emulate said hero.
It was a second season episode called 'Guys and Dolls'.
