The lost Galaxies are 7, 9, and 11. Is it purposeful that the _11th_
Galaxy was the source of the agressive H-2 breathers, and that
it will be reunited latter? This would be _Andromeda_, wouldn't it?

Ok, now that we've discussed a lot about that, why not _abandon_ the
clich� of Alpha Centauri A and place Easter around B? :-)

Streaker should arrive on Jijo in 279 AxY. Also, all that talk about
"death and resurection" by the Kazzkark fanatic could suggest
that those events happened close to Passover...

We have some scattered Earth dates: there's a reference to
November 1st close to the Chimp Uplift Ceremony on Earth
and Gillian refers to Alvin et al as dressing Halloween 
Costumes [it could be close to the celebration of Halloween].

Are there any other obscure references to Earth's dates, like
Valentine, Christmas, etc?
