The concept of the theriomorphic god and especially of the bull god, however, may all too easily efface the very important distinctions between a god named, described, represented, and worshipped in animal form, a real animal worshipped as a god, animal symbols and animal maskes used in the cult, and finally the consecrated animal destined for sacrifice. Animal worship of the kind found in the Egyptian Apis cult is unknown in Greece. (Greek Religion, 1985).

I've been thinking about Minoan civilization a lot!!!

I luuuuurve me some Minoans what with their indoor plumbing and their upside-down columns and snake-wrangling and those bare-breasted jackets the statues all wear. Trip to Knossos/Crete is one of life goals!

You are kind of right! They were a mercantile civ, not a military one.

wtf is high def latex? is this some sort of 3D printer CAD type shit? first pic totally looks like some real life dude with bad applied silver spray paint. only thing that would make it more genius would be if there was a respiratory pump for movement in the lungs. dollars on the floor totally make the second pic.

high def latex is probably some o.g shit, like for realistic film props/masks. the face is creepy

Did you find $7 all together or like $5 and then $1 and then $1? It seems kind of odd to find three bills together.

'Doomsday' vault design unveiled

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42551000/gif/_42551989_seed_vault_416.gif

The final design for a "doomsday" vault that will house seeds from all known varieties of food crops has been unveiled by the Norwegian government.

The Svalbard International Seed Vault will be built into a mountainside on a remote island near the North Pole.

The vault aims to safeguard the world's agriculture from future catastrophes, such as nuclear war, asteroid strikes and climate change.

Construction begins in March, and the seed bank is scheduled to open in 2008.

The Norwegian government is paying the $5m (Â£2.5m) construction costs of the vault, which will have enough space to house three million seed samples.

i've been there a few times. so bummmed 6 months ago, the tempest machine was there but it was broken. is it fixed yet?

― the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Friday, 9 February 2007 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Qix was less a game and more an art project. It was really weird and didn't make sense but was still kinda cool because back that you didn't get to draw large rectangles on computer and TV screens that often.
