The posts in this blog, specifically those relating to mytholgy and meanings and origins of words, are the result of looking up stuff that I find intersting. These posts must be taken at face value, and hopefully serve as a catalyst to dig further for greater insight. Constructive comments would be appreciated but not expected.

In the pattern he has planned

Words of Wisdom
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people
Two things are infinate
The universe and human stupidity
And I am not sure of the universe
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
