Many wild animals will abandon their young due to a simple touch by another species (often humans). Personally, I don't particularly like being touched by humans either... ;) And yet I'll bet that doesn't pose a problem for you. ;) me@rescam.org ID: 658725 ·

Last modified: 13 Oct 2007, 1:26:51 UTC Nope. No animal is really devilish, except that intelligent mammal Homo Sapiens Sapiens. No animal is as cruel as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, called human. All other beings hurt any other being no more than necessary (for gaining food, like the mosquito, or in stamping ground fights, like deer, for example), any other being kill other beings only for food, and only as many as they, their pack, or the pack plus affiliates can eat.. Ever seen cats 'play' with small rodents, Thorin? Even when NOT hungry, they will chase down, capture, and wound mice. Then they will catch & release the mouse over and over again until the mouse finally dies from the torture. Once dead, the mouse frequently is totally ignored and not eaten. ID: 658744 ·

Ever play rough with a cat? ;) (I recommend wearing a sock over your arm because the cat is obviously trying to kill you too...) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

Always at your service. :-D Which leads back to religion, because the muses were goddesses or spirits of the Greek mythology. Seems, Qui-Gon kind of adores you, Fuzzy. ;-) Originally there were but only three muses mentioned: AoidÃ„â€œ ("song" or "voice"), MeletÃ„â€œ ("practice" or "occasion"), and MnÃ„â€œmÃ„â€œ ("memory"), but centuries later, the European Renaissance established 9 muses: * Calliope (the "beautiful of speech", chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry) * Clio (the "glorious one", muse of history) * Erato (the "amorous one", muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs) * Euterpe (the "well-pleasing", muse of music and lyric poetry) * Melpomene (the "chanting one", muse of tragedy) * Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the "[singer] of many hymns", muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric) * Terpsichore (the "[one who] delights in dance", muse of choral song and dance) * Thalia (the "blossoming one", muse of comedy and bucolic poetry) * Urania (the "celestial one", muse of astronomy) Account frozen...

This phenomenon is also known from religious sources as revelations. In psychology it's known as the AHA experience, where you suddenly gain an insight in things, you have been pondered on for hours, and suddenly, like a snap of your fingers, BINGO!!! you suddenly get a solution or a whole new understanding of what you were pondering. Naming the different divine sources of inspiration and seeing them as women, well that's nice. :-D We like to be seen as inspirations for men's creativity. ;-D "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 661587 ·
