These past few days, the Greek goddess of rain (Proserpine) seems crying a river...hehe...When I was a kid, I used to hate the rainbecause obviously I can't play outside. Then I hear the song "Let it Be" by the Beatles. As if it is God, saying let the rain fall; it's nature. So everytime it rains, I sing Let it Be. Thanks to the Beatles...^_^ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:20:21 GMT gaaruto http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1726069.aspx Have you gotten your Halloween costume yet? do you know what you are going to be this year? how much did you pay for your Halloween costume? i am not sure what i am going to be yet there are two costumes that i really like one is more expressive, i am debating between a nurse and a Greek goddess i am not sure which one i want yet, the nurse is more expensive but i am hoping i get the money in time. and that they do not get sold out before i get the money.[em]happy[/em][em]lol[/em][em]rasp[/em] Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:17:52 GMT wadeys http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1648769.aspx Oysters are nature's best source of the trace mineral [b][i]zinc[/i][/b], containing up to [b]100 mg per g[/b]ram.

So I thought I might as well get mine in there as well... I want to know what aphrodisiac everyone is going to use to entice their Valentine into the proper state of mind for the Holiday. What are you going to use to seduce that special intimate mood? Is it chocolate and strawberries, perhaps you are more like myself and lean towards Champagne, oysters, candles and Barry White tunes? Are you going to pamper with bubble bath and rose petals... The name aphrodisiac derives from the Greek goddess of sensuality: Aphrodite., so with that said I am calling all Goddesses and Gods to answer my inquisitive nosy mind. Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:42:12 GMT Angelwhispers http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1272719.aspx The discovery of the remains of La Pérouse's two ships was far from the most important find of the Dumont d'Urville's career as a naval explorer. In 1819-20, nearly a decade before his stop at Vanikoro Island, the young officer was serving in a French expedition to the Greek archipelago. Stopping at the island of Melos (or Milo), he chanced upon a statue recently unearthed by a peasant and stored in a great goat pen. The well-educated Dumont d'Urville recognized the female figure as Venus, or Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love; in her hand was the apple given by Paris in judging her the most beautiful among three rival goddesses. Although the price asked by the peasant was too high for him to pay on the spot, Dumont d'Urville recognized the statue's worth. An unknown sculptor of the second century B.C. had created a masterpiece in which the softness of the goddess's exposed torso contrasted with the rich folds of the drapery covering her lower body. The statue had to be acquired for France. He convinced the French ambassador in Constantinople to send with him on his return to Melos a diplomat with a commission to buy the statue. Unfortunately, the peasant had sold it in the meantime to a Turkish official, and the treasure was already packed. After a generous bribe from Dumont d'Urville, the peasant managed to remember that the statue had been presold to the French and could not be delivered to the Turks. The crated Venus was placed on a stretcher and rushed to the beach for loading on Dumont d'Urville ship. Pursuing Turks attacked; and in the ensuing brawl, the statue lost both arms - never to be recovered.

But I heard that there is a song which title is my name, I was so happy to find it out! PLUS, the song fits my life so well. And it was the greatest song I've ever heard. Every line fits me. No kidding. :) You? Do you know someone who goes by same name too? And does he also like the song? Fri, 18 May 2007 11:12:25 GMT amplified27 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1044220.aspx This month may have been named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Within any calendar year, no other month begins on the same day of the week as May. The bird of May is the nightingale. May's birthstone is the emerald. May is the only month in which a President of the United States has not died. May in the northern hemisphere is the equivalent to November in the southern hemisphere and vice versa Tue, 01 May 2007 02:56:15 GMT kathy77 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/601841.aspx The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that still survives. Can you name the other six?They are:1) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which were built on the banks of the Euphrates river by King Nebuchadnezzar II. 2) The gigantic gold statue of Zeus was built by the sculptor Pheidias at Olympia. 3) The temple of Artemis was erected in the Asia Minor city of Ephesus in honour of the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature. 4) The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a huge tomb constructed for King Maussollos, Persian satrap of Caria. 5) The Colossus of Rhodes was a massive statue erected by the Greeks in honour of Helios the sun-god. 6) The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built by the Ptolemies on the island of Pharos. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built near the ancient city of Memphis for Pharaoh Khufu in the period of the Fourth Dynasty, between 2613 and 2494BC. The Greeks refered to it as the Pyramid of Cheops. A true wonder, it is immense: according to Mysteries of the Unknown, it covers a ground area of 13.1 acres (32,4 hectares), composed of some 2.3 million limestone blocks average two-and-a-half tonnes each, enough stone to build a wall of foot-square cubes two-thirds around the globe at the equator, a distance of 16,600 miles (26 500km). Modern Wonders A list of the seven wonders of the modern world was compiled after World War One (after 1918). The motorcar was omitted from the list, instead naming: (1) the radio; (2) the telephone; (3) the aeroplane; (4) radium; (5) anaesthetics and antitoxins; (6) spectrum analysis; and (7) X rays. An updated list undoubtedly will include the car, television, computer, nuclear energy and nanotechnology. Mon, 15 Jan 2007 13:10:53 GMT SK401001
