"" Bacchus" Wasnt he like the God of Porn or something - fornicating and all that schweet!"
Nope. Bacchus (aka Dionysus) was the god of wine and drinking. You must have mixed him with Priapus [speak about the general decline of educational standards!]. But Priapus, too, might be useful for those hit with harassment suits...

i think i confused him with this guy

Liber
(l´br) (KEY) , in Roman religion, god of fertility and wine. He was usually identified with Bacchus, the Latin equivalent of Dionysus. His consort Libera was identified with Persephone or Ariadne. Liber and Libera had a famous cult on the Aventine Hill in Rome in connection with Ceres. The festival Liberalia was celebrated in their honor.

I thought bacchus also had that fertility thing going on
ah well live and learn i suppose ;)

No no no Bacchus was the guy who played Thurston Howell the third.
