FreeWill Pulls Firmaments From Voids
Nov. 12th, 2014 07:52 pmAncient people knew about Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn because all of those planets are visible to the naked eye. From the second millennium B.C. until the late 20th century, only three additional planets were found: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. (Pluto was later reclassified as a dwarf planet, however.) Then in 1992, astronomers began to locate planets orbiting other stars. On one spectacular day in February of 2014, NASA announced it had identified 715 new planets. I foresee a similar uptick for you in the next seven months, Sagittarius. Your rate of discoveries is about to zoom.
Have we run out of names for gods?

Aug. 5th, 2014 08:18 pmLake Superior State University issues a "Unicorn Questing Privilege" to those people who are interested in hunting for unicorns. Are you one of them? I wouldn't be surprised if you felt an urge like that in the coming weeks. Unusual yearnings will be welling up in you. Exotic fantasies may replace your habitual daydreams. Certain possibilities you have considered to be unthinkable or unattainable may begin to seem feasible. Questions you have been too timid to ask could become crucial for you to entertain. (You can get your Unicorn Questing License here.)
I'm already trying to build the perfect beast in the form of the Gundam RedLegger mobile suit. It doesn't need to be a Unicorn...those are already done.
In the old fairy tale "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," the poor woodcutter Ali Baba is collecting firewood in the forest when he spies a gang of thieves bragging about their exploits. Observing them from a hiding place, he hears them chant a phrase, "open sesame." This magically unseals the opening to a cave that happens to be full of their stolen treasure. Later, when the thieves have departed, Ali Baba goes to the cave and says "open sesame" himself. The hocus-pocus works. He slips into the cave and steals a bag of gold from the robbers' plunder. This story has resemblances to an adventure you could enjoy sometime soon, Sagittarius. I suspect you may discover your own version of "open sesame." It will give you access to a less literal and more legitimate bounty.
This week promises a magic carpet ride and some shaking for the Sheikh. Maybe we'll Rock some Casbah as well.
Writer's Block: Lucas for a day
Sep. 16th, 2011 02:31 pmI used to be a bigger Star Wars fan than I am now. I still haven't seen the movies set between Phantom Menace and A New Hope, nor much of Clone Wars, nor any of the Ewoks TV movies, nor have I read any of the novels or side-story comics.
I'm afraid if I tried to ask a question about the setting, a bigger fan would point me to an answer. And I also realize that I don't even want to win this contest, as I don't have a Blu-Ray player, and so can't use the prize! :(
Writer's Block: Legend has it ...
Mar. 12th, 2010 10:54 amIn Florida (and probably elsewhere in the South), you hear stories about a ghoul called the Sickle Man, who supposedly wanders the wilds and farmlands with a large reaper blade that he uses to chop animals (as well as people who offend him) to little pieces.
If I were Stephen King, I would have written a novel about the Sickle Man, had it made into a big budget horror movie, and cleaned up financially. But I'm not.

Writer's Block: Folktales of the City
May. 8th, 2009 08:09 pmTo answer the SECOND question: There was a lot of drama in one of the forums I frequent when one of our number was taken in by a false Amber Alert. He raised holy hades; we found on-line evidence to prove that the Amber Alert was bogus; he would have none of it and persisted. Eventually we kicked him out for that and for other rowdy behavior.

Nov. 2nd, 2008 10:30 pmYour result for The Greek Mythology Personality Test...
Orpheus
33% Extroversion, 67% Intuition, 56% Emotiveness, 71% Perceptiveness
When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there.
You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt.

FP
Since I didn't have the 'Net last night...
The opera was about three things at once. On the surface, it was about America in the Roaring Twenties.
Beyond that, it was about Germany in the impending transition between the failing Weimar Republic and Hitler's dictatorship.
Beyond that, it's a transformation into a modern-dress Christian Passion Play. The central character is a forestry laborer, who goes to a wicked city, falls in love with a woman who sells her body, gets disgusted with the place, becomes a prophet and is ultimately undone by a moment of weakness and the apathy of his fellows. (I suppose it was intended that the city dies along with him, but it wasn't "shown" as such in the production done on Great Performances.)

FrustratedPilot's Wrath!!
- On 25th Feb 2007 God had finally had enough of Australia and made everything within its borders disappear mysteriously over-night.
- God - upset by the failure of His attempt to introduce 'FrustratedPilot Cola' into the soft drinks market, destroyed over 2,000,000 cans of competitors Cola world-wide in an attempt to level the playing field.
The Anti-FrustratedPilot
The Anti-FrustratedPilot was Gass Meehan a 28-year-old man from Belarus.
The Saviour
'I know he looks a little strange but give Him a chance. For I tell thee, if you place your face in my son Holden Ivers you will receive 7 years worth of penny farthings!
This is the End
And the sun fell of the sky at FrustratedPilot's command for absolutely no other reason than they could no longer be bothered ruling such an unpleasant world.
