I Learned Something

10 December 2005 - 03:05 AM

Now if there's one thing I know, it's that almost everyone has some kind of useless knowledge stored in their brains. I'm not saying that knowledge is necessarily useless, but for the most part not used in everyday life.

What's an amazing/shocking/useless/baffling/unusual fact that you keep hidden in the dark corners of your mind?? Share it with us and we can all "learn something new everyday" :p

Going first, I'd like to share with everyone this fact:
Abraxas wass a term used by 2nd century Gnostics to describe their 'god'. Some historians even believe that this is where Jesus Christ came from. Abraxas can be translated to Roman numerals, which added together equal 365. Coincedentally, this god also supposedly commanded 365 other gods, each with their own virtue (therefore representing the 365 days in a year).
The word 'abracadabra' is derived from the word 'Abraxus'.

disclaimer: I could ramble on forever about all things related to medicine and word derivations. Yep, I'm a nerd :whistling:

So.... who's next? :blush:

What Are You Listening To?

This thread is pretty self-explanatory:

Tell us what you're listening to right now!!

This may sound corny, but I don't really know anyone here and thought this would be a good way to get members (both old and new) involved in something we can all talk about :lookaround:

Naturally, I'll go first:
I'm sitting here listening to my husband and his friend watch South Park. And wishing I had a radio in here, since the local station is playing nothing but The Beatles all day. Today marks the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death :(

More Fresh Meat!

Howdy everyone!! Just joined last night and figured I should introduce myself.

My name is Veca. I'm 20 years old and live in Alberta, Canada.

I'm not only new to this site, but also to programming and such. Although I assure you I've been trying to learn as much as possible. :D
I hope to stick around for a while and learn as much as I can. I've already toured the site a bit and like what I see. Already picked up a few tips too.

Anyways, won't bore you with any more useless babble. ;)
Guarantee you'll be seeing more of me in the near future!
