You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Well, in the mainstream media, "Satanic" is used as a blanket term for "evil" (or as a synonym/shortcut for "serial rapist with black candles in his desk drawer") rather than as meaning "member of the Church of Satan."

Oh, I get that. I think that's part of what I'm semi-ranting about -- that the "Satanic" cults and murderers people talk about really are not (even when they keep black candles in a drawer). That's it's a word used specifically and deliberately to evoke a non-existant bogeyman. In fact, if any member of the press is using the term to mean "member of the Church of Satan," than they really need to be kicked in the head repeatedly by an army of fact-checkers.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Of course. It's why I get techy when people refer to "witches" as "Satanic" when they're talking about Wiccans. Dude, it's not 1692 and we're not in Salem Village.

Sick murderers are sick murderers--whether they profess to serve Satan or not. It doesn't make them Satanists any more than it makes me one.

I'm quite sure I could find more than a few serial rapists who turned up at Church every Sunday and were quite good and singing the hymns.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Barry. the Jack Black character.

As for the rest of your questions, I haven't the clueiest. Erm, foggiest clue. I like when my fingers make new worfs without even trying.

What in the hell is a worf? Whatever.

I didn't know that the "I don't like Mondays" girl was in San Diego. The song freaks me out now.

And in non-Satanic news, China now has a bigass railroad

The pan-Himalayan line climbs 5,072m (16,640ft) above sea level and runs across Tibet's snow-covered plateau - dubbed the roof of the world.

Trains travelling on the line will have to have carriages that are sealed like aircraft to protect passengers from altitude sickness.

I'd love to see my typos fuck. That would be real entertainment. It would also make me spend more time writing.
