  2. The Beginnings of Man -Part 1

    The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?

  3. My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

    Kate Bishop Hawkeye
    Merida from Brave
    Robin Hood

    ... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

  4. Who is Erebus

    In Greek mythology, #Erebus is the god and personification of darkness and shadow, one of the first beings to emerge from #Chaos. He represents the deep gloom that fills the spaces between the world and the Underworld.

    Erebus is often seen as the brother and companion of #Nyx, and together they brought forth many of the darker forces of existence, like #Sleep, #Death, and #Dreams.

    Well, at least it's not Fish(or Snake) Oil:

    Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains fish oil.

    Fact: “Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fishhooks and lures with WD-40 Multi-Use Product. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil, since it appears to attract fish. Sorry, Charlie®, it just ain’t so.”
