Something about the whole affair ending with a capsized boat of Hells Angels is amusing.

I'm amazed they actually learned from their mistake. I could see them having another go at it with similar results.

> The absorption of some earlier cults into the newer pantheon versus those that resisted being absorbed is suggested as providing the later myths that seem confusing however.

This makes no sense at all.

I am getting really sick of having crazy or annoying students. I guess I just lucked out last semester, but last year I had the crazy, rich, rascist kid and this semester I have THREE girls who cannot seem to remember to show up, or tell me they can do things and can't or just in general are completely fluff headed, and then blame it on me for not being clear. I just want to make them go away!

Also, above that dachshund is the cutest puggle ever!

The sentence has too many prepositional phrases, is passive, and goes completely off the rails at the end.

Just because I am in the office at 7:30 does not mean I am prepared for human interaction.

On work days, I'm a sociopath when I wake up, but you don't see me running around and stabbing people in the face with letter openers, so morning people should exercise the same restraint.

But imagine if they'd kept at it. They coulda' been pirates or something.

While I was off to the bathroom, I was thinking of a possible wacky movie scenario - the Hells Angels are at sea, and they get swept back in time through some time vortex thingie. Then they hang out with Vikings.

But then they'd probably all get along too well to make a good movie. Plus, no motorcycles.

Or maybe they end up in some alternate reality, that's like North America circa 1300 AD with Vikings and what not. And, inexplicably, paved roads....

The absorption of some earlier cults into the newer pantheon versus those that resisted being absorbed is suggested as providing the later myths that seem confusing however.

I'm parsing it this way:

([{The absorption of some earlier cults into the newer pantheon} versus {those that resisted being absorbed}] is suggested) as providing the ([later myths] that seem confusing however).

Does that look correct? First time through, I was okay right up until "that seem confusing however," at which point it all went rapidly downhill.

I think the author was subconsciously realizing the sentence was getting confusing, so s/he added the "that seems confusing" as sort of a confession. Then s/he thought, "Fuck it." and added the "however."

is suggested as providing the later myths that seem confusing however.

I'd have used something like "the sourse of" instead of "providing the", but I'm having trouble with the "however" in either version.

I agree with you however.

And I left my iPod in the living room. So no music for me today at work. BOO!

I left my iphone at home, so no texting people about crappy Mondays.
