Everyone hated the flying monkeys. Feathered flying lions would probably be just as bad.  Only if you're a coward. Some of us are not   don't be afraid |

The Thames through Oxford is sometimes given the name the River Isis. Historically, and especially in Victorian times, gazetteers and cartographers insisted that the entire river was correctly named the River Isis from its source down to Dorchester-on-Thames, and that only from this point, where the river meets the River Thame and becomes the "Thame-isis" (supposedly subsequently abbreviated to Thames) should it be so called. Ordnance Survey maps still label the Thames as "River Thames or Isis" down to Dorchester. However since the early 20th century this distinction has been lost in common usage even in Oxford, and some historians suggest the name Isis—although possibly named after the Egyptian goddess of that name—is nothing more than a contraction of Tamesis, the Latin (or pre-Roman Celtic) name for the Thames. Richard Coates suggests that while the river was as a whole called the Thames, part of it, where it was too wide to ford, was called *(p)lowonida. This gave the name to a settlement on its banks, which became known as Londinium, from the Indo-European roots *pleu- "flow" and *-nedi "river" meaning something like the flowing river or the wide flowing unfordable river    |

Rig Veda
Cattle were important to the Rigvedic people, and several hymns refer to ten thousand and more cattle.[5] Rig Veda 7.95.2. and other verses (e.g. 8.21.18) also mention that the Sarasvati region poured milk and "fatness" (ghee), indicating that cattle were herded in this region. RV 6.28 is called Cows. Text 3 speaks about safety of cows.
In the Rig Veda, the cows figure frequently as symbols of wealth, and also in comparison with river goddesses, e.g. in 3.33.1 cd,
Like two bright mother cows who lick their young, Vipas and Sutudri speed down their waters.
The Vedic god Indra is often compared to a bull. Rivers are often likened to cows in the Rigveda. According to Aurobindo, in the Rig Veda the cows sometimes symbolize "light" and "rays". Aurobindo wrote that Aditi (the supreme Prakriti/Nature force) is described as a cow, and the Deva or Purusha (the supreme being/soul) as a bull.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_in_religion |

Yeah, when I was a kid I always thought they said 'or-e-o'. Hated the flying monkeys. And speaking of Kansas, wasn't it from there we heard - 'And if i claim to be a wise man (or woman), it surely means that I don't know' Helps keep us all thinking. (I would think) Carry on. My charade is the event of the season! charade 1776, from Fr. charade (18c.), from Prov. charrado "long talk, chatter," of obscure origin, perhaps from charrar "to chatter, gossip," of echoic origin. Cf. It. ciarlare, Sp. charlar "to talk, prattle." Originally not silent, but relying on enigmatic descriptions of the words or syllables; the silent form was dumb charades. Welsh siarad obviously is a loan-word from French or English, but its meaning of "speak, a talk" is closer to the Provencal original. You will always remember! There will be Peace when you are done |

"En the thirteen Ahau at the end of the last katum, itzá it will be coiled and it will roll Tanka, there will be a time in which will be sunk in the dark and soon the men will come bringing the future signal from the sun; The Earth by the north will wake up and by the west, itzá will wake up ". |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYJq7SJnZuQcoexistcelebration.org/2011_12_27_sacred_hall_of_mirrorsThe Mayans say, that seven years after the start of Katún, which is to say 1999, we would enter a time of darkness which would force us to confront our own conduct. The say that this is the time when mankind will enter 'The Sacred Hall of Mirrors'. Where we will look at ourselves and analyze our behaviors with ourselves, with others, with nature and with the planet in which we live. A time in which all of humanity, by individual conscious decisions, decides to change and eliminate fear and lack of respect from all of our relationships. The Mayans prophesied that the start of this period would be marked by a solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, known to them as 13 Ahau, 8 Cauac. And would coincide with an unprecedented planetary alignment, the 'Grand Cross' alignment. ;D  lol

John Lennon 1968: "If this scene is still around in 2012... the masses will be where I am today and I should be as groovy as Jesus by then".

www.courant.com/entertainment/sns-rt-us-revelationsofthemayansbre82q1bb-20120327,0,5154185.story Mayan documentary to warn humans of impending catastrophe 
"This is the most critical time in human history, and mankind is going to have to face the music" Actually, that documentary is out. Remember, Mayans?  lol ;D  There is a certain mystical energy about the ball court that begs to be experienced first-hand. One fact worth noting is the repetition of the number seven, which was sacred to the Mayans. There were seven players on a team, the rings were seven meters high and if you clap your hands or shout in the court, the sound will echo exactly seven times. There are carvings on the stone walls that depict the ball players (some of which are remarkably intact) and after the captain was beheaded, it is said that seven serpents grew out of his neck. 
But the true mystery behind the ball court at Chichén-Itzá is the Mayan prophecy that on Dec. 22, 2012, the great warrior serpent Kukulkán will rise from the ground beneath the playing field and end the world for good. Even if you're not one to believe in predictions, it's still exhilarating and eerie to stand in the middle of the court, close your eyes, and imagine.yucatantoday.com/en/topics/chichen-itza

REALLY?! That's it? That's it. I would have expected a much nicer webpage layout for a Beatles page but I guess the technology for them is still in the 90's. If that was a webpage from the 90's then it would look wonderful considering the god awful web layouts they had back then. And B, I think they just decorated it once and just left it after that lol
