Aw, c'mon. What's the story of the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil if not the original punk'ng?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Lee.
I just spent way too long talking and thinking about the Baha'i. They just seem so sensible and nice!
Someone said in Bitches that they find birthday discussions offensive. Which I'm probably restating all wrong, but if we're going to wank on religion I think we should cover more bases.

I always thought, was a way for people to learn that no just God needs the sacrifice of your children as proof of faith. Still makes God look like a total bastard. Though, wasn't that the first time in human history that someone got Punk'd?
I have heard the theory, although that wasn't how I read it as a child. As an adult, I think I have more of a problem with the punking, but I (like Nutty said above) HATE any and all practical jokes. I think they are mean, and not really very funny.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
No, the fruit thing was just a precursor to "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus."

OK, there are days I really wonder about people. This dude sends me an email containing a forward of his account info, including password, saying it doesn't accept his password, fixit!
I tell him to make sure he's using a lower case "L", not a numeric one. He writes back his password (which, mind you, is in the original email we sent and he forwarded back and is copied in all these emails) doesn't contain a lower case "L". YES IT DOES IT'S RIGHT THERE I TOLD YOU IT IS AN L NOT A 1!!!!!!

Narcissus is the one who stared into his own reflection, rapt, till he withered and died. Which is where the term "narcissism" comes from.
No, I knew that, but I thought he met some horrible afterlife fate as well. I was pretty sure it was Prometheus (and his liver), but not 100%.

The Furies or the Maenads? Orpheus was killed by the Maenads, I think, and so was...the king in The Bacchae, whose name I'm forgetting.
The Furies chased after Orestes for a while because he killed his mother.

Loads of Aeneus' shipmates got eaten by Furies, I think.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Any number of demons, vampires, etc.
