I was wondering if anyone knew of any stories; I know the one my dad told me had some sort of bit of wisdom in it, but he's passed, and I'd really like to remember it!

My brother is suffering from insomnia, fever, agitation, roaming, foaming at the mouth, screaming fits and superhuman strength. Should I call a priest or Mohinder Suresh?

Please help. I tried to ask this in R&S, but I got a violation notice. (Geez those folks are a little bit touchy these days.)

I Knew a boy who once had his eye out with a sharp stick,
That will teach him to look through my letter box !
No seriously old people are always banging onabout people having theirs eyes out with something.
Has anyone ever witnessed it first hand ?

I went to bed around midnight, but woke up around 3am. Curtains were closed. My room was dark. No any lamp or light source was on. It couldn't be a reflection. I was laying on my bed and I saw that yellow light was shining in one of the shelf's of my bookcase in the middle of darkness. I left my bed and walked towards it to take a closer look what's going on knowing that there is no any light source on my shelf.

The light was like yellow bulb light (not very strong light) and it didn't had any form. It was shining like a candle on the square shaped shelf, not leaving a shadow anywhere on the shelf. When I turned the room ceiling light on it did disappear. I tested if it would come back if I turn lights off again, but it had gone. The light didn't move around, it just stayed still. I got pretty close to it and I saw that there was nothing extraordinary on the shelf except the light.

This really freaks me out since I don't want to sleep in a same room with this unexplained light.

I have many little superstitions and thought about breaking them last week to see if anything would actually happen. I put it to the test by getting out of bed left foot first (supposed to be bad luck so i always get out right foot first) and that day i had the most terrible luck. I got a ticket on my car, lost my wallet, got sick and my goldfish died!

Has anyone else broken a superstition with regrettable consequences?

I decided to ask this question because I answered another question about zodiac signs and my joking answer got deleted, I guess some retard thought i offended the zodiac gods. Now I wonder, where did this astrology crap come from? Isn't love about what's on the inside rather than what the stars have predestined you to? I think all of this is just bull****! How bout you?

Gurkha,
flying a swift and powerful vimana
hurled a single projectile
Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns
Rose in all its splendour...
a perpendicular explosion
with its billowing smoke clouds...
...the cloud of smoke
rising after its first explosion
formed into expanding round circles
like the opening of giant parasols...
..it was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
...The corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
...to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment

"In Norse mythology, Sæhrímnir was the cosmic boar killed and eaten every night by the Æsir and einherjar. The cook of the gods, Andhrímnir, was responsible for the slaughter and preparation using the cauldron named Eldhrímnir. After Sæhrímnir was eaten, he was brought back to life to provide sustenance for the following day."


... soooo, if vegetarians do get into valhalla (for fighting & dying bravely), what then do they feast on?
