Roman Goddesses aren't nearly as beautiful as the Greek ones.

Conveniently, belief in reincarnation takes the sting out of that death and eternal nothingness thing.

Venus Flytrap, I think he meant.
(I was telling the kids about this Venus thing. They caught the fact that what they would see would be a small round object passing before the sun. Middle son picked up a rock and threw it, and it passed across the face of the sun. Middle son then said "cool", and walked away. I couldn't argue with that logic.) |

Dammit. I forgot to watch this last night as I was watching Venus cross the sun while paddling along in my kayak. Was it the last show last night, or is there one more? Who is left?

I thought he was being cheerful and upbeat, reminding us of the availability of eternal nothingness.
Huh.
ETA, is Venus the little bitty dot? Perhaps I would find that more exciting if I saw in IRL.

Unless you're a Buddhist, in which case you view reincarnation as just another trip through the pain and misery of it all.
Buddhists are really no fun at all. |

Oh death, where is thy sting; Oh grave, where is thy victory, indeed! Oh, the irony.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I had an iced latte from that evil corporate giant that is Starbucks (no apostrophe), and I feel much better now. Let's party!!!! |

Fuck that. I'm building an immortality device. I'm sure the plans come with a money back guarantee.
eta - Heh. Gotta love a guy who touts that he was featured in the Weekly World News.

I've got papers if you've got weed. Did anyone bring poppers?

Speaking of death and the sloughing off of the mortal coil, I was looking at a link that str8 posted yesterday about different areas of the country using different words to describe the same thing. One of the items covered was the use of the words coffin versus casket. The site intimated that there was actually a difference between the two. Is this true? If so, what's the difference?
I always thought the two were interchangeable.

Funny, I'm starting to believe the same of you and Str8, not because of the content of your posts, but rather the similarity of your avatars. |
