That means for 24 hours, jews don't eat, wash their face, drink, brush their teeth, comb their hair or do anything basically. Jews are not sitting around a tree opening gifts, baking hams and having snow ball fights or playing PS3.

-- So if you think there is a Jewish kid out there that wouldn't rather be in school eating, drinking and playing on Yum Kippur rather than starving him or herself while having morning breath, bed head, and basically being prisoned for a day, please find him for me, so he can remind me how great it is to have that day off.
