I'm running two different versions of emacs (on the same machine). The
older one-- 21.3.1-- shows the equinox being on Friday, but the newer
version-- 22.0.50.1-- shows Saturday.
If someone is nearby to it, they could do a count at Stonehenge and
determine the percentage of pagans who have upgraded against those who
haven't.
