The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ladle your hate for webcomics over here.
Oh, and MT sucks.

Dear Sir or Madam:

/co/ is being egregiously befouled by a shitstorm of spam.  It is annoying; it is distressing; and it is compounding the troll-induced nausea.  Is there anything we can do to counter these spambot twats?  Or must we suffer in silence?

also questions about p3 fes/p4

To deal with the newfags on /co/ asking what they should read we already have several recommendations lists. Unfortunately, the majority of what's listed can be a bit intimidating to someone only casually interested. I mean, Bone(55 issues plus spin-offs) Invincible(60+ issues and counting), and Transmetropolitan(60 issues plus specials) are all great series' and worthy of reading, but can be a bit much for someone newly curious about comics. So a new list, containing only short series' that can be read in a day or two, is needed.

I'm thinking we should keep it to under 13 issues. It can also be an arc, but please give specific issue numbers.

Agree/disagree? Anyway, how do you guys feel about Violine? It's about a loli who has purple eyes and reads people's minds. She wears an open shirt throughout the second issue, getting drunk and flashing her loli nips all over the place.

Read that shit it is som e guooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
