Since Christmas is becoming more blatantly pagan each year, and since its real origins have nothing to do with Jesus but worship of the Roman Sol Invictus it may be a good idea to encourage the making of and sending to our friends of'Bah Humbug' cards, so that fair and reasonable people can separate nonsense and blatant commercialism from goodwill with less pressure. Christmas as we know it is little short of a self-induced form of torture on adults and children also. We act like barbarians and send totally absurd messages to the young by us putting up with this farce.

For Christmas to have any meaning it must be separated from all that places demands on us each year on 25th December. Cromwell banned it in English history. But the old paganism re-asserted itself. Pity we couldn't have a calendar without 25th December featuring in it. Sorry, can't write more - must assemble my plastic christmas tree and get a loan for all the presents the kids want.

Where does the figure come from? Is it based on ancient french mythology? Is it Bohemian or part of the romantic movement, a folk tale or does it have its roots in mythology?

I carelessly discarded a packet of triffid seeds behind the garden shed....now there is a thriving colony of triffids behind there. They are decimating the local wildlife and pets. Also I think the postman has gone missing....I found his postbag behind the shed.

I cannot get close enought to apply weedkiller without becoming lunch. These critters are now roaming the garden and becoming dangerous....they are playing havoc with my petunias.

any ideas?

No satellite/telescope pics exist of the landers?

A close friend of mind started playing the Ouiji board about 6 months ago. Since that time she has become incresingly strange? I can barely stand going into her home. It smells of excrement and is always cold and dark. She is abusive and mean as well.

I am trying to find information on Greek Burial Rights and specifically the purpose in cremating a body by using a Pyre.

I know what a Pyre is, but I wonder what the significance is in the cremation to them?

Thanks!

I personally think it would all depend on the attack. If I were really attacked by one I would probably poop my pants. However, if one gently attacked me with a bite I totally think it would be erotic. What do you think?
