Thoughts of a dying humourist
Sunday, May 07, 2006



Ok so the smoke rant thing is getting pretty old.
Instead I'll tell about mythology's take on how mankind came to be. Just a little story to entertain you and give you a break from my normal pedantic rantings.

The first man , Prometheus, and his brother Epimetheus were sitting around one day, not doing a particular lot of work. So the gods decided to give them a mate (note: two men...one woman...you can clearly see the patriarchal influence of ancient Greece here...) anyway. The gods all contibuted to her creation : they gave her the gifts of beauty, grace and persuasion. Yes really...only that.
Then, they sent Pandora down to earth with a box full of jewels as wedding gifts. All the jewels represented particular things like love, honesty, forgiveness etc.
She was curious about what was inside and opened the box, only to let all the gifts fly out in different directions. The only gift that stayed in the box was hope.

So the moral of the story is that if everything flies out the window , there's always hope.
Aso, women were made by the gods, while men simply congealed on earth :P
Im kidding! im not feminist...I like guys! ;)
