Since it's named after a West German fertility goddess named Eastra (Scandinavian: Ostra) who's symbol is the egg, and who is associated with cute bunnies producing a whole lot more cute bunnies (and similar activities), it definitely needs to be put back in the correct context. Pope Scurrilous III noted the "rebirth" aspect and asigned to it the resurection of the recently crucified Jesus (an event strangely unrecorded in the logs of Pontius Pilot's court) but it really doesn't work all that well, so lets just go back to the original. That will be a lot more fun. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
