Interesting definition, i never thought about it in this
way.
It seems that in Scandinavia the celebrate June 23rd as
Midsummer. <a href=http://www.ingebretsens.com/archive/scan_midsummer/archive_scan_midsummer.htm">Here
they write:
<quote>Midsummer, an observation of the longest day of the year, is
celebrated in each of the Scandinavian countries. Midsummer,
originally a pagan holiday, is celebrated on the day of John the
Baptist and is now held on the weekend closest to the summer
solstice.</quote>
But which date Shakespeare meant, i don't know.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
