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 |

You have 3 cats?
Wow!
Penny is now proceeding to demolish my room.
Penny is about 6 weeks old.
In the past half an hour she has spilled half her water, spilled her food once, spilled her litter once, managed to get litter all over the place, and jumped up and down and made all kinds of ruckus.
And now she is meowing at her bed, destroying a book mark, she just spilled her litter again, and now she has jumped in her litter box and slid across the floor with it.
I'm afraid to go to sleep because I don't want to know what she'll do. Actually, I probably wouldn't be able to get to sleep because of the ruckus.
I hope she quiets down!

Dear TomKow,
I have said it before, and I will say it again here. The Sports Gods are not going to allow a Red Sox Cubs World Series.
It just ain't going to happen.
I have a good hemlock substitute recipe, if you need it.

My cat is Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia, a purebred black Turkish Angora.
Eats daintilly, with all courtly decorum, but loudly protests her handling when she's picked up.
A special cushion occupies one spot on the sofa, which is for Her Highness's exclusive pleasure.
Am I painting a decent picture?
