40 Hour Famine

This year we should all do the 40 Hour Famine, because

• Helping feed, clothe and educate the poor people of Africa makes you feel good inside
• I want an excuse to eat a pounder from McDonalds (for those of you who don't know, a pounder is four times the size of a quarter pounder. I didn't know you could actually order them until a few months ago and I've been dying for one ever since)

So if you're interested in joining let me know via the comments section. I think you can do it whenever you want if your group is big enough (at least, that's the way it happened at my church.). If we do it so it finishes on a weekend we can all go out drinking after. Or we could go out drinking during it, though I've heard drinking on an empty stomach is a bad thing.

**EDIT**

I just heard back from the good people at world vision, and you can do the famine any time after the official weekend, which is on the 18th to the 20th of August. As the next holidays after that are in December (there's no way I can be that patient) I figure we should just do it on the official weekend. That is, if anyone's interested.
