Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays.

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 he’s 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 isn’t used much these days because so few people understand the reference to classical literature.

Happy Birthday

Virgil 70 B.C.

Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
  And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
  Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
  Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,

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.

DC Talk (Christian group)

[It's okay, it's all right]
Whatcha thinking, doing the things you do
Whose opinion are ya listening to?
Justifying, you turn it all to gray
Synchronizing to society's ways
Society has gotten to be all outta whack
And don't bother with excuses whether white or black
To blame it on a color won't get a result
Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost
In reality our decency has taken a plunge
"In God We Trust" is an American pun
Funny how it happened so suddenly
Hey yo fellas, kick the melody...

(chorus)
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight
Socially acceptable

Times are changing, with morals in decay
Human rights have made the wrongs okay
Something's missing, and if you're asking me
I think that something is the G-O-D
To label wrong or right by the people's sight
Is like going to a loser to ask advice
And by basing your plans
On another man's way of living life
Is creating a brand of ethics
Sure to be missing the punch
No count morals that are out to lunch
They're sliding away cause everything is okay
It was taboo back then but today ya say, "What the hey"

(chorus)

We gotta back to the principles found in the Word
A little G-O-D could be society's cure
From the state that we're in Cause again we're slipping
So pray for America cause time is ticking
 

[Soaring Feather]

No Tom, no SKUNKS!!!! You nut case, you!! LOL
