Are you finding it hard to fast. Praying the Agpeya 7 times a day, 8 times too many? With a single prostration you risk a cardiac episode? That holy oil burns when it touches your skin? Or that korban cause you all sorts of gastric issues?
Its not your fault. It could be your parents. They could have stack the deck against you by making you a sin baby. Whats a sin baby, you ask? A child that was conceived during a fast, when married couples are supposed to refrain from conjugal relations.
How can you tell if you are the demonic spawn of an illicit tryst? With NotSo Industries Sin Baby Calculator App!! New and improved version 2.0 has an offset you can manually enter for premature births. Just enter your birth date and it calculates whether you were conceived in the clear or screwed for eternity. It takes into account all the vagrities of the Coptic calendar and its correlation to the Gregorian calendar, so rest assured of its accuracy.
(as an aside, you’ll see a statistically non-random distribution of birthdays of Copts correlating to periods 9 months after inter-fast periods)
Thanks to F.H.W. for the idea

A fun game to play during any fasting period is Siyam Russian Roulette. At a gathering of friends or any pot luck prepare a food that resembles a non-fasting food item like soy kofta or other such culinary mockeries. In the midst of them hide a full on non-fasting version in the midst. Watch as your hapless victims eats it and has the recognition of something is not quite right has just happened. Even better is watching them deal the sudden gastric distress that occurs with the sudden ingestion of animal fat and protein.
