Enjoy your month.
I think it's to help people realize how it feels to be poor, hungry and thirsty.
I like to think I'm playing my part by eating food and drinking ice cold drinks (slowly with lots of mmmmmmm noises) in front of the Muslims in work as much as possible. It makes the experience more real.
A weird fact I learned from freakonomics involved a lot of deaf children being born in a particular month in Islamic countries, it's because the mothers were fasting during pregnancy resulting in a surge of deaf babies.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
