Conchita Wurst: Austria's Bearded Lady Wins Eurovision
I'll be honest, it's the first time I've watched Eurovision from start to finish, and that because I had friends watching it. I'm glad this was my first though. :)

Here, VioletRose, is a relationship interesting to a Hindu and to pagans. Consider that h and s are phonological alternatives. Thus super in Latin is hyper in Greek [means higher, pronounced huper]]; sub in Latin is hypo in Greek [means lower, ...

Hi Jo, I can recognize the first few verses and I am familiar with it. I can't recognize the
Verses that you have mentioned later.
One thing is that in the third line, it is actually
'Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya' , as mamtrtam is not a word. ...

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 4
I think I've ended every single Maelgwn article so far with the next one will be the final installment. Then I find more and more stories about him. That's the upside of bringing so many bards into your court, they all write songs name-checking ...

Eh, hem "In the fifth and final part of this Maelgwn Gwynedd series" ... Is this a 'for now' sort of thing, or am I meant to believe you here? :| (And also not including the relating side articles). Anyways, am excited for it!

Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman
No that's all good. I hate being spoiled on stories, so I'd avoid them like the plague, if I hadn't read them.
The answer is - just read it! Take it into the loo with you. No-one can worry too much about reading matter on the loo.

Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman
Interestingly, I know you yet I have this belief that I actually have almost no sense of what the story is actually about. Like I didn't read past the intro on this, and the most that was given away was in reading bits of other articles of yours ...

I reckon those of us who've read Gildas from start to finish most definitely deserve the harp music. I read him for Uni back in the early 90s and promised I'd never do that to myself again. I've read him start to finish THREE TIMES for these ...

Woot! Remember that any feedback other than you love is wrong. No pressure!
Stop thinking! I was drunk the first time I picked it up. But Doll's House was still fabulous when I was sober. Plus you get to tick off all of the WCTD references. ...

Frank - I'll include anyone and everyone into the Pagan family, including your lot. :)
Incidentally, just in case anyone reading doesn't know, Pagan comes from the Latin Paganus, which simply means villager or commoner. The chiefs, kings etc ...

It's so very interesting how markings on an animal's body tell us things about its behavior, as here the stripes and spots and the stench. Also how these markings are often evolutionary. I read this spring about how zebras' stripes keep tsetse ...

VioletteRose - You're well ahead of me, I've not read any of them, and I'm not proud of that.
Though it does occur to me that half the songs on The Matrix soundtrack were in Sankrit and quoting the Vedas. And by 'occur', I mean, can you help ...
