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.

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

An incredible shot. I wouldn't want to be in this feller's backyard either. Though, once I was off the 'Great Barrier Reef' and say an enormous 'Great White'! Sharks are a magnificient creatures; the utltimate in predatory beauty!
Love this site and will add to my blogroll & reader! Have forwarded your site to a friend 'Hawk' at http://whatisitabout.wordpress.com for his enjoyment.
Catch you later!

Eeeeck...I would be like a squid if I had to see that!
Damn, he's huge.
I know it's silly, but I have a trip planned to see them in a cage dive off Cali in August 2008.
Awesome shot! The real life Jaws.
Meant to tell you my travels have taken me through South Africa. A beutiful country and spectacular vistas.
I mean to say in an earlier post (habit of not proofing my commentary before publishin), it's going to take me awhile to catch-up on the various posts on your site. Have been journeying through periodically to read but haven't had the time to post commentary.
Again, a very kewl site for me to visit. I like things different. A curious portal of discovery with which I'm pleased.
Catch you on the flip!
Oh by the way, Takeshi is my friend - close personal friend! Jus' not a blogger pal. He'll be back often too, I'm sure!
Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments, makes it worthwile
