More to the point, why aren't women out there smithing for all it's worth?
This is giving me a whole new set of images around Excalibur and the Lady and the Lake and the stone.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did the bible say so? I mean, did it say how many ribs Eve got? Also -- did god use just one rib, or was he symmetrical?
Well, people inferred it from the Bible (but the Bible didn't actually say that). As God took one of Adam's ribs to make Eve out of. People assumed that all men after Adam would have the missing rib too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People assumed that all men after Adam would have the missing rib too.
If I were God, I'd just make Eve with the same number of ribs that Adam now had, ergo no missing rib. However -- was it a rib, or a rib pair? Because you'd think someone would have noticed if it were just the one rib.
What was Lilith made from?

I'm pretty sure it was just one rib.

Now I'm curious too....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wait, so we now have The Universe posting with us? The Universe? That may possibly be an even more impressive celebrity posting than Joss or Tim.
In any case, welcome, TU. I hereby proclaim that I accept The Universe!

Ann, that's a ferret.
What was Lilith made from?
And anyone who answers "rocky road ice cream" will be accused of flagrant COMM-baiting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Same stuff as Adamn, presumably.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Lilith was made out of dust, same as Adam.

I believe Lilith was made from the same dirt Adam was made from, but I'm not certain.
