Come here, damn you, I want to touch you.
Good Day, people! It's Thursday. I have some answers from earlier in the week. I will begin
there and work my way down.
The one word that can be made from INSATIABLE is BANALITIES.
Londoner, Bernard Rayner's former profession was A: Pigeon food seller.
ChristOnASpike knew BANALITIES!! Damn! Right on! And thus I have already defined the word.
Is that all I have in the
"answers" department? I guess so. Now for the really
interesting
part of today's entry.
The Moon Last Night
This
was so awesome and it was only the second time I have ever seen
the
moon this most peculiar shade of red. I tried to find it on the
NASA website
to no avail. Doesn't anyone takes pictures of the moon any more?
This image
is from November 1993. I do not think the moon has changed in
appearance
in the last 11 years, so it's safe to use. What causes the moon
to glow with
such hue? I am unable to say at this time, but the answer has to
be out there
somewhere. Do you know why? Perhaps you can find out and show us
all how
smart you are! Go forth and return with the answer! We all know
you can do it!
Where does the word, "alcohol"
come from?
Antimony is a mineral common in Egypt and the
Middle East. Arabs made a fine black
powder with the antimony and called it kohl. Daubed on
the eyelids, the stain was one
of the earliest cosmetics. Queen and women of wealth spent
fortunes on the finest variety
of eyeshadow, which they called al-kohl - literally
"the powder." Queen Shub-ad of Ur kept
her al-kohl in a silver box 5,500 years ago. By the early 17th
century, western travelers
used alcohol for "fine powder that stains."
Eventually it referred to any substance obtained
from an essence - and particularly distillation. Thus alcohol
of wine meant the "essence of
wine." Soon it became simply alcohol, causing
today's liquid refreshments to bear the name
of eye shadow used by the beauties of ancient Egypt.
On a humurous note
THUMP THUMP, FRANCE 1983
Bravely extending the limits of cinema pedophelia in the
tradition of Lolita, Sundays and
Cybele, and Beau Pere, director Bertolt Bleu
sensitively portrays a young man's tragic
seduction by a precocious fetus. Their only means of
communication being a fetal mon-
itor at the local hospital, Tammy (the fetus) and Rene gradually
come to realize the star-
crossed futility of their love. The film triumphs through its
honesty and delicate handling
of a touchy subject. Prize for special effects - Black Forest
Film Festival.
-Lewis Burke Frumkes, How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted
Children circa 1983
Today's blog entry sucks. Watch The Mirror

First, to address the color of the moon, I found this explanation for all and sundry:
You have asked a very good question. Yes, on occasions the moon does appear to turn slightly red during a lunar eclipse! On occasions it even is known to turn what is called a "blood red" color.
The reason for this color is exactly the same reason that we have red sun rises and sun sets on the earth. It is caused by the dust and other pollutions that are in the air of the earth.
As the sunlight travels through the earth's atmosphere, it picks up a red color from the pollutions and dirt and then the sunlight travels on through the earth's atmosphere and it stops on the surface of the moon during an eclipse! Thus, the red color we have in our sunrises and sunsets in now being projected upon the moons surface! Therefore, the moon will have a red to red brown color.
The reason it only happens during eclipses is that is the only time that the allignment of the sun, earth, and moon will allow the sunlight to go through the earths atmosphere and to be directly projected upon the moon.
On other occasions (ie. moon phases), the reflected light from the earth strikes the moon, but that does not give the moon a red color. It must be light that passes through the earths atmosphere and the light must then pass directly to the moon. It can not be reflected light.
I have observed this change in color on many occasions. It becomes more red in color after eruptions of very large volcanoes on the earth which throw large amounts of smoke and dust into the earths air. There are even some changes in color after large burnings of forests due to large amounts of smoke in the earths air. These events can also make it difficult to observe very faint objects in space such as stars and galaxies.
That caption under the picture of Pinhead is hilarious!!! LOL!!! That French movie, however, takes the cake...that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard....but then again, I did see a French movie where this kid's mother died and he and his friends wrapped her in foil (AL LOU MIN E UM) and kept her in the grandfather clock!!!

The caption under Pinhead is a quote from the movie Hellraiser.

d'oh
. I cried 
. I felt the pain within and how devastated Lizzie and Dahlia were without the tea so indicative in the title. Well, I suppose there is a good reason for the lack of tea...Lizzie murdered her parents so no tea for her (she deserves her punishment!) and Dahlia can't drink it anyways (it'll all just seep through her severed torso!)
