Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
No, the fruit thing was just a precursor to "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus."
"Pleeeeease can I eat the apple?"
"I'll be your best friend!"
omg antihistimine.
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%.
Speaking of unpleasant fates - who got torn apart by the furies?

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.

Any number of demons, vampires, etc.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
I sent my niece this book recently and it was a HUGE hit with her, my brother, SiL, and parents. They all love it. I haven't read it yet - got it for her based on Buffistas. So, thanks!
Furies, sirens, harpies, Maenads, Bacchantes -- the Greeks kind of had an Issue with their womenfolk going off wild and crazy.
The Greeks kind of had an Issue with women overall, but the wild-and-crazy women: well, look what they did to Klytaemnestra.
I haven't read it yet
I bet your mom would let me.
