[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 509726"] Well, if you'd really like to get into this... It's based on far older traditions of many cultures, the most recent of which (prior to Mardi Gras) is the Roman/Italian Carnivale (sp), a period of indulgence. Many civilizations had such annual celebrations (variations on a theme), figuring that if they "get it out of their systems" once a year (and do it really well) they'll mostly behave the rest of the year.
