Happy ThanksGiving Day
Beginning with George Washington in 1789, annual presidential proclamations had declared the last Thursday of November as the Thanksgiving date. However, in 1941, a United States Congressional declaration officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as the date of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pilgrims in IMVU
Anybody knows who were the first Pilgrims in IMVU?
The author of Imvu, Will Harvey, must have been the first and then the development team afterwards.

Pilgrims or Noobies or Nooby Pilgrims: Be Proud of our Noobility
This country was made of immigrants mainly. The recently arrived at the land of opportunities status is second nature for nearly everyone, so noobiness is part of the local American culture and part of every collective experience, both in real as well as in virtual realms. At school, college, place of work, at government. Even the presidents behaves like noobs their first day in the WhiteHouse. Newcomers at a town, metropolis or simple neighborhood, all of them look awkwardly nooby at the supermarket or mall. When we get our first date, we all behave like noobs. Of course there are people who seem to have the privilege of spontaneous creation in a perfect stage of development and popped into reality perfect as a diamond and they feel themselves entitled to call the others Noob! Do you know any one? I do.
