yeah, I'm not happy with the shane warne. what a stupid
*****
Yep - he keeps breaking the eleventh commandment.
thou shalt not smoke if thou art being sponsored by
nicabate??
Nope - the eleventh commandment is "Thou shalt not get
caught"
bah! men are too stupid not to
That's why you love us so much
nope. different reason altogether
we can cook?
that's just an adorable bonus
Bone us? Ahhhhhhhhh - now I see what you were getting at - - -
<WEG>
heh. yes, he takes me over the stovetop
Does he marinade you first? <eg>
sometimes
I'm always interested in recipes - - -
he marinades me in love....the...er, sticky kind. and the other kind too
Love is only dirty if it is done right!
Bloody good leggie, tho - from someone who used to
trundle
a
few
down,
himself.
I don't really follow any
sports....I'm.....an.....intellectual.
please, please, stop the laughing. I swear it's true!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHA
Law students are NOT intellectuals!
Ærchie - ex Physics Dept, UWA, where there ARE genuine
intellectuals
uwa eh? well, I'm not just a law student. you know we have to
do
another
degree undergrad with law?? well, I'm doing 2 others. that's
right.
biochemistry and egyptian archaeology are my other two,
thanks
for
asking
;)
So - Does the number 3 have any significance in Egyptian
mythology?
yes
can you point me at a webpage?
no. goggle for one yourself. I read it in several BOOKS. one of
which
is
by
Erik Hornung called Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt. good book.
Off to Ebay - thanks but there is so much "new age" rubbish on the
web
it
is hard to goggle for good stuff when you are looking for myths and
their
origins
true. most unis have quite a lot of online stuff these days though. I
can
spot faulty info a mile away. but, if you want book advice, you've
come
to
the right place. that email addy is valid, if you want other books on
certain topics. or reliable websites. I do have a collection, just
none
on
egyptian numeracy. weirdos on the web love that *****
Some of what I am doing may seem to be "new age" stuff. I don't see it
that
way. Part of what I am doing is recording and mapping the commonality
of
the number 3 in religions, mythologies and superstitions. And
attempting
to
show a cause and a beginning. Did you know there used to be three
seasons?
Spring planing and growth, Autumn ripening and harvest, and Winter!
the egyptians had three seasons. some places have only two. it is a
question
of environment. the earth has always tilted on its axis 32 degrees. we're
now coming out of a relative iceage. in ancient times, the weather was
much
milder. yet egypt had a summer. the desert hadn't encroached that much,
but
it still got incredibly hot there. I went in summer. fucking 50 degrees
some
days
Ahhhhhh - you just mixed the "have" and "had" words - my interests lie
back
where early agriculture was developing after the Wurm. At that time most
agricultural areas recognised three seasons. And that 50C is what I am
headed into in a few days time. Not in Egypt but in the North West.
oooo visiting Old Carthage?? Morocco?
I wish - try Punmu - east of Telfer, west of the Canning Stock Route and
North (well north) od civilisation.
What other EARLY MiddleEastern cultures show
a liking for the number 3? I know about the xian trinity, the
Greek
pre-diliction for 3, the Norse liking for that number as well as
the
Celtic
cosmology, but it is a bit harder to find references for the
Middle
East
and for Northern Africa. That and their serpent gods. This is the
one
serious part of my afternoon :)
I have done Cartheginian religion or Mesopotamian/Sumerian etc.
just
Egyptian and Roman, and in the hsc Minoan. they liked snakes a lot,
btw.
you'd like the Roman festival of the bona dea too.
Well - I would have liked to cause a few women to celebrate it :)
heh. me too. I think I've lost my chance
Now /that/ is a confusing statement
I'm not single anymore, I can't go out and lick a hot girl. I've got my
honey to love and lick
Why not both? That would thrill your honey - - - <eg>
no, it wouldn't. you'd be surprised how conservative guys my age (he's a bit
younger actually) are about that. hehe, when I say I've lost my
chance...well, I got a better offer really
The younger generqation is a great disappointment to me
physics eh? damn, and I was testing you with a schrodinger's
cat
joke
in
another thread. how redundant of me. I'll have to come up
with
something
better. so....classical or quantum??
I replied with Murphy - - - -
I liked it
:)
and do you come here often?
Fairly often - just to pick on dickyboy and drolly
it's like me going to alt.christnet.prayer and picking on the
fools
there.
it really is like shooting fat fish in a barrell
If only they knew just how derivitave their religion is - - - - -
they *want to be ignorant, I've discovered. it's so sad
It is fun to tell the mormons/SDA's/JW's/etc at the door "Sorry, no
myths
or superstitions allowed in here." The look on their face as they
splutter
"bu but but this is not -." I simply answer "well, what else is it?"
as
I
close the door.
lol. I love standing about and trying to convert them.
Done that too - My Baptist upbringing left me with some knowledge of
the
Bible - I just love quoting stuff at them.
hehe me too. I did some biblical archaeology in first year uni. awesome
ammo
against christians
None of the religions stand up to rigorous examination
that's what I've found
There is /one/ exception, tho - - -
Still - it keeps the masses quiet while they contemplate a world
without
them.
the masses are people who deserve more than that
The masses have never wanted more than that. A good feed, an
occasional
***** and a safe pathway into personal immortality. They may deserve
more,
but they have never wanted more.
they would if they knew it was there
How many lift their faces from the trough and gaze at the stars?
all of them, from time to time
Really?
ok, maybe not all. but probably a majority
And in looking at the stars, they think to themselves "Ah, I wonder which
one is the soul of Great Aunt Jemima?"
I'll be in wa this time next week. that's where my oneandonly
lives.
you
see, I really did meet him on afjc
Damn - I will be heading outa town about then - a new term
begins - - - -
ours doesn't begin til march. thank you 'australia's innovative
university'
Sydney U or Macquarie U?
the latter. a fine institution for my combination of degrees
I nearly started a history degree there.
I started out there in ancient history
I'll be too busy shagging to see anybody anyways ;)
Ahhhhhhh the joys of youth - it is so wasted on the young!
we're *really* not wasting it!!!!!
No, :( I suppose not :( <curmudgeon mode>
heh. how old are you anyway? you can't be that old
Oh yes I am - - - Actually, I'm even older than that!
ok, methuselah
No - not quite /that/ old
older than me??? <runs>
Oh yes - in fact my daughter is older than you
Grump :(
go out and get some poon. then email me the details. I'm celibate for
the
week :(
Now /there/ is a great idea - I'll find some poon to sniff, savour and
suck.
that's the spirit
No - I'm not fucking ectoplasm!!!
bah! go get laid, man!
Oh, I will, I will - probably before you do, girl :)
