Since 1976, the Writing Lab has supported writers on the West Lafayette campus through a variety of services and community engagement initiatives using student-centered best practices. The Online Writing Lab (OWL) has been an extension of the Writing Lab since 1993, and offers global support through online reference materials and services. The Writing Lab and OWL, both part of the Department of English, are informed by and engage in research within the discipline of Composition and Rhetoric, including the subfields of writing center studies, writing program administration, second language studies, and professional writing.

"And He said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about."
Ezekiel 8: 9-10
If you were one of the most wealthy people in the world and you had a boundless source of income and riches, with what kind of possessions would you surround yourself? Would you choose to live in a palatial estate; would you furnish it with luxurious décor, statuary, paintings, and other art? Would your tastes reflect your lifestyle, your religion, your worldview?

The Owl Idols of the Bohemian Grove
Some years ago, I discovered that in his sprawling mansion in California, a very wealthy oil tycoon displayed a number of figurines, statuettes and images of owls. At least one was located in every room, aisleway, and gathering area. Whats more, visitors noted that upon the gentlemans accessing each of these areas and rooms, his eyes immediately sought out the owl figure and fastened on it. It was as though he were bewitched by these idols. And, in fact, so he was.
For years, this man had attended the annual elitist devil-fest known as the Bohemian Grove, a nature gathering of wealthy politicians, bankers, diplomats, and corporate chieftains held in the redwood forest about 50 miles out of San Francisco. There, the attendees stage a satanic ritual called the Cremation of Care in which they worship a 42-foot tall owl idol, whom some believe to be a likeness to the ancient pagan god Molech. During the fiery ritual, screams sound out and either an effigy or, perhaps, a real human being is sacrificed to the towering devil.

I had seen that Purdue Online Writing Lab, but opted to leave it out in the face of the gargantuan list I was already dealing compiling..... but you DO make me have to rethink that.
