German beer purity did it for me. If you're ever near Nuremberg, do the underground beer tunnels tour.

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

So more earthquakes and volcanoes, more deaths in plane crashes and more nuclear explosions on the 29th.
My vote goes to 30th Nov

German beer purity law is five hundred years old this year. There was an attempt to repeal it back in the spring.

November 29th is when Dan created the last Dan thread. It was on that day that Martin welcomed us to this Brave New World. However, Kek has blessed the 30th. Penner was the first pioneer to arrive on these shores stepping forth on November 30th, 2016 at 0:00 hours according to server time which is in Est. Repeating numbers are a significant indicator of Kek's blessing. I vote for the 30th.

Two more things which happened on the 30th to help you make up your mind

2007 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office hostage crisis: Leeland Eisenberg entered the campaign office of Hillary Clinton in Rochester, New Hampshire with a device suspected of being a bomb and held three people hostage for 5 hours.

1782 Britain signs agreement recognizing US independence

And thus November 30th it is!

Sound the trumpets!

Long live the Republic!

A proud day for the motherland, where once again an Englishman has steered the US in the right direction after pointing out their mistake.

Well technically you are no longer an Englishman here.
You renounce all such loyalties when you join the Republic of the MHF.

Although we understand we have to keep up appearances outside the forum.

I'll accept the title of former Englishman for the purposes of the MHF republic. I keep MHF hours these days and even eat at the same time as you guys now anyway.
