"We cant stop here, this is bat country!" ~Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Ah! Friday?!?! Yes! Let's break
down the meaning of Friday, because some people get way too
excited and
I need to know the science of why that is! I will break it apart
first, and find the roots and where it comes
from because maybe you do not know where it comes from and what
little "happy molecule" it possesses.
Oh, yeah, be the way... It's another awesome day outside! Kick
Ass!
? Bats always turn left when exiting a cave! ?
Ok, I totally expected
conflicting information regarding the origin of the name Friday.
This is what I found:
Friday: from Frigg the Norse goddess of love. She was believed to
be the wife of Odin and was the goddess
of marriage and the hearth. The Roman's had named this day for
their goddess of beauty, Venus. They called
it "dies veneris". When the Germanic tribes invaded
England they imposed their goddess upon the day meant
to honor Venus. The day was called frigedaeg, it has been
corrupted over the centuries (since the 500's) to
be "Friday". So, I suppose then, the "happy
molecule" (mostly a Western Civilization thing,) we
experience at
the end of work and school on Friday rejoices the weekend break.
Not all civilizations work this way. So, then
perhaps in the middle-east, the expression is "Thank Ala
it's Saturday" being the last day of the week and time
for rest. Am I wrong?
Ha! The whole "Thank
Gandalf it's Frodo," uh, yeah. Here: The expression, "Thank God It's Friday," coined in
1978, was the name of an average movie about an average Friday.
The expression had never been used be-
fore this movie. Awesome! Another Hollywood invention.

millions of trees in the world are accidentally planted by
squirrels who bury nuts and then
forget where they hid them! ?

I wonder...does
"Christonaspike" want to see Christ on a spike or
thinks he was crucified on a spike or would person-
ally like to put Christ on a spike? I wonder what she'll say if
God sends to her to hell for using the name
"Christonaspike"
and her punishment ends up being impaled on a spike over and over
and over and over for all eternity (that's a really
"thuper" long time).
"Christonaspike" appears to resemble a snollygoster of
the worst sort!

Wait a minute.
People are actually being asshole christians here? I always knew
there were the good ones and the bad
ones but straight up assholes? What kind of person are you who
would verbally assault someone like that? Do you know
that person or are you just finding somewhere to place your Holy
Christlike pedistal? Geez, come down, get off your f*****g
cross. Live and let live, have you ever heard that before? Do I
need to point you in the right direction of a bible? The Gideons
have placed them in most unexpected places!
“I do not feel obliged to believe that same God who endowed
us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to
forgo their use.”

Yeah I know the person I was sparring with (for oh say 16 years
or so) and my words were not as malicious as you suppose.
I was laughing when I wrote it knowing that the person I was
"attacking" would laugh as well.
Be mindful of your name calling my young Padawan learner.
