Scappa

Ska-poh ~Noun, An atheist holiday celebrated by a small group of electrical engineers in Canada. The origins of this holiday are ancient and mysterious and are kept secret by the leaders of the unnamed atheist religion participating in Scappa. Traditions include, eating "low quality resistors" (burnt humans or, since some of the grand creators of the holiday were vegetarian, eating vegetables shaped like low quality resistors), plotting evil schemes to conquer the world and wearing resistor rings on one's little finger. Some unnamed atheist religionists, believe that Scappa Claus appears in a feathered mask on the night of Scappa to deliver free "circuit components" and dead babies.
