New Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 10/31/2009

Halloween has its roots in both a Celtic end-of-harvest-season festival a Christian holy day, All Saints’ Day. The day is full of imagery: the jack-o'-lantern; trick-or-treating in costumes; costume parties, visiting haunted houses; even reading scary stories.

Why the supernatural/scary connection? According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween), perhaps this is because the ancient Celts believed that on this day the line between the living and the dead dissolved, allowing the latter to cross back into our world to wreak havoc for one night.

Today is United Nations Day, a day celebrating all of the peoples that came together to form the United Nations. On this date in 1945, the United Nations Charter was adopted. But UN day is meant to celebrate more than just a birthday: it’s meant to remind us what the world body stands for: international economic development, security, social progress, human rights and world peace. The UN General Assembly established the holiday in 1948.
