Her real origin was Sumerian her first name being Inanna,(the Beloved of An) whom the Akadians and the direct inheritors of the Sumerians , the Babylonians added Ishtar(approx. 2900 BC); while the ancient Egyptians called her Isis. That she was also the first female and 'mother' of the Indus civilization, but as their language is still for the most part undeciphered, Sumerian records tell of her dominion in a far away land named Aratta which just may be the land we now know as Harappa. She is often shown wearing what may be a modern flight-suit and with tubes attached, etc. even with goggles and sometimes a helmet and cap similar to the ones worn by modern astronauts...
She is among the most ancient 'mother-earth' goddesses. She is also credited with appointing the first known King at the city of Uruk,(first of modern humans) know as Erech, in 'the Bible' mostly badly copied historic accounts from the Sumerians. Yes, Happy Ishtar, indeed!

try Winnie the Pooh or that dog Clifford...I was really glad when those days were over,,,geez!

I'd still like to know what idiot would put a Braille key-pad on a drive thru ATM; no blind drivers are allowed to have a driver's license, well, perhaps in California or Canada...

sounds like 'wisdom' from a cheap six-pack of 2% beer...

and pray tell, what's wrong with 'cool' girls?

As I mentioned in a previous thread regarding our perceptions of 'reality' or dreams, i have come to the ironic conclusion that we all seem to be living in a dream; most certainly a series of random delusions, the only difference for myself is that I'm not naked and tied to a bedpost of some beautiful vixen at best not even her radiator...; it's like being in a weird film and there is no refund on my ticket... and when, but momentarily awakened, it is by my own screams; perhaps I have 'issues'...

Actually yes she can; claims like this have been legit for quite a while. Ask your IRS ...

Because studies found that putting out Braille editions of Playboy Magazine and other ones was just too expensive versus the expected selling prices and projected returns, so it was decided to put Baille on ATM's and many restaurant menus including price lists of all brothel services in Nevada...hope this helps you.





This thread is hilarious; mainly for the demented possibly...

aGAIN, THANK YOU mISS sOUFIE

I didn't see anything implying or stating phone numbers; perhaps your social insurance number, or possibly your cellblock and cage number...ummm, that would also mean your shelf number to be sure that you are real... or just your house, shack or tent number...He never specified which number; just if anyone is interested... could even be your birth number or the one that appears just under your 'mug-shot' taken after your arrest for failure to drive in a manner unfit to be misunderstood...

I have noticed that one of our posters has used a photo of, or it certainly seems to be, a photo of the Belgian actor Jean Reno in a cowboy hat; dead ringer for Reno but none of the others used by this guy, has any resemblance whatsoever to Reno or anyone else for that matter...strange.

As a kid, I thought it would be great if aliens came down and wiped out about the the people of this planet(I was told a lot by family relatives that worked in the Langley, Virginia intelligence agency dealing with the realities of this topic.. Now, at least 98% should be wiped out after reading this thread.

One of the most hilarious books that I have on very strange names is "Remarkable Names of Real People " by John Train,1977
His front piece is of a Mr. Concerto Macaroni; others are Miss Buncha Love; Suparporn Poopatta, no idea if it's male or female...a Mr. T. Hee, a restaurant employee in NYC; with that name he should be working in Izmir, Turkey at the well known Ufuk Restaurant and while we're in Turkey, we could meet up with Mustafa (phonetically spelled out to the infamous "K" word,Kay-you-n tee), the Turkish Military Attache for Moscow, someone you wouldn't want to be introduced to while sipping tea as the people around you would be sprayed with it when you his name... a name of an Indian Chief,Unable To Fornicate, somewhere in the US Northwest reported on by H.L. Menken(Fly-Fornication was an actual 'good Puritan name',,,We also have a Miss Violet Butt(biographer of the American painter Robert Henri; comparing with a Noble Butt who lived in Boston; use your imagination as to what their children could have been named...
Down in New Orleans, we find a Mr. Vice, arrested 890 times and convicted 421 times...and on the West coast we have a Mrs. Friendly Ley
over in Mission Hills. Down in Texas, we have the infamous Ima Hogg; makes one wonder if she buys from Climax Underwear Co. of Cincinnati...This book takes you all over this insane world but it does make you wonder at the parents of all these people...did any of them kill their parents for giving them their names...

(apologies but the built-in word censors wouldn't allow me to spell Mustafa's last name properly)

I love the entire "Viking Age" which to me lasted until the Muslim wars of attrition on Constantinople, because many 'Vikings', Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch and the Rus tribes that settled many parts of Russia starting in the 8th century and founded their kingdom in what became the Ukraine, sailed on to the end on Europe at Constantinople. There they became the elite Varangian Guard of the Roman Emperors,(10th to 14th cent.) and defended it against all who attacked it. Other Vikings joined the military orders of the Church, especially those known by the popular name of the Teutonic Knights and others who fought in all the battles of the Crusades, especially Acre and Jerusalem. They were the flower of the Northmen, aka, the 'Normans'...how can anyone not like or appreciate the Vikings!
(I actually met one Palestinian family descended directly from a noble Norman Knight and through the centuries had passed down his ancient sword that he had inherited from his great Grandfather a Viking warrior from Norway...incredible!)
Did you see the film, The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderas" That fell into the Viking category. The original book, Eaters Of The Dead was great!

Same as with a room-mate that stops paying their share of the rent; rid yourself of them.

Disagree; they both just may have absolutely no real personalities...

Only 0.85 seconds on their hair, and after all the time many spend on brushing it just so? Then again is 0.85 seconds enough to see any fleas or lice? I've noticed that sitting in back of several on a bus...Lips; either they have cold sores or not; either they are smiling or ...not. Eyes, either they are clear and focused , or not,; not including those that are cross-eyed as when they put their glasses back on, they're fine...oh vanity!
Women always try better than males to generally "look good"; it is no great effort to always acknowledge this even with just an appreciative smile if she catches your eye.

Google any ethnic group or Racial group for their baby names as a starter; you'll laugh yourself silly...then go for bizarre/ strange names; many are indeed worthy of winning a Darwin Award! Speaking of which, look those up also. I have 4 or 5 volumes now and a few on names; they are better than any 'joke book'!

Bravo!

Sounds as if one has observed the truths about our society and civilization in general by combining Oswald Spengler and Frederich Nietzsche...Aldous Huxley, here we come!
