Now that covering the wonderfulness of Ramadan is required at all the major papers as well as most local papers, our award for the silliest paragraph of the day goes to Bob Smietana of The Tennessean:

Muslims believe that Allah, acting through the angel Gabriel, revealed the Quran to the prophet Muhammad during the month of Ramadan. In commemoration, Muslims over the age of puberty fast from sunrise to sunset. They avoid food and drink and marital relations, along with vices such as lying or backbiting. Young children, people in ill health, and pregnant women, among others, are exempt.
