Pancakes on Wednesdays |

Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays. Wednesday October 15, 2003 |
|
Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.
|
SISYPHEAN |
Of or relating to an endless and ineffective task. This one comes straight out of Greek myth. Sisyphus was a king of Corinth, a son of Aeolus (the ruler of the winds, hence our word aeolian for something produced by or borne on the wind). In later legend he was the father of Odysseus or Ulysses. His name actually meant crafty in Greek: he was noted for his deception and hes the equivalent in Greek folklore of the master trickster who turns up in many folk beliefs, such as Coyote in American Indian mythology. He even managed to cheat Death the first time around, surviving the experience to live to a ripe old age. In Greek legend Sisyphus was punished in Hades for his misdeeds in life by being condemned eternally to roll a heavy stone up a hill. As he neared the top, the stone rolled down again, so that his labour was everlasting and futile. The word first appeared in English in the middle of the seventeenth century. It isnt used much these days because so few people understand the reference to classical literature. |

Would you like a Halloween Screensaver with your pancakes? |
|
On this day: 1968 - Led Zeppelin made its performance debut in England.
|
|
1860 - Grace Bedell, 11 years old, wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln. The letter stated that Lincoln would look better if he would grow a beard.
|
|
1917 - Mata Hari was executed by a French firing squad. Hari was a Dutch dancer that had spied for the Germans. The very name of Mata Hari has become synonymous with spying, espionage, intrigue, and sensuality. Excuse me, but her top reminds me of pancakes! |
|
Sin, cosin, every where a sin. |
|
1998 - James Woods received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One of Hollywood's most intense supporting and leading actors, James Woods has built a distinguished career on stage, screen, and television. Early in his career, Woods, with his lean body, close-set eyes, and narrow, acne-scarred face, specialized in playing sociopaths, psychopaths, and other crazed villains.
I honestly admire you James Woods. "It's just a bunch of old shit - all these guys pretending to be a radish." Just in case you missed it, the James Woods quote site is here below linked. http://www.hillebrander.de/woods/quotes.htm |
