Smudgeheads
Today is Ash Wednesday. If you see people walking around with a smudge on their forehead, acting like there is nothing unusual, do not be alarmed. It is probably not contagious.
It used to be that these forehead ashes were made by burning the fronds saved from the prior year's Palm Sunday. These days however the church has taken to burning copies of "The Da Vinci Code" to acquire these symbols of devotion.
