What drew you to our happy madhouse? Do you think that it is just co-incidence that Black Tower and Bermuda Triangle both begin with the letters BT?

Welcome to the Taint and the Spam, Roland. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. Everyone who's insane does (and if you're not insane, there's something wrong with you).

 

Well have fun Return to the taintyness soon. Your thread will most likely be filled with spam upon your return And yes, dark chocolate is always better :nods:

 

White chocolate is the best, and has always been the best.

 

Welcome Roland! this is where the taint be delicious and your brownies drive you insane.... Or is that the other way around....

 

Yes, it's the other way around.

 

Welcome Roland

Depends... Once, Owls stood for stupidity, nowadays, the stand for wisdom. So, when do you live? Do you live now, or in that past where Owls stood for stupidity?

 

Also, becoming clever/stupid because you're eating something clever/stupid, reminds me of cannibals. They ate people because they though they'd gain things (intellect, for example) that person had if they ate them.

How far back in the past do you have to go to get the Symbolism of Owls meaning something stupid? In Greek mythology, the owl, and specifically the Little Owl, was often associated with the Greek goddess Athena, a bird goddess who often assumed the form of an owl. Athena was also the goddess of wisdom, the Arts, and skills, and as a result, owls also became symbols of teaching and of institutions of learning, being included in the crest of arms of many universities. In the Western world, owls continue to be traditionally associated with wisdom. They are the unofficial mascot of the high-IQ society Mensa.

 

Greek Mythology is quite a long time ago, so was it before then?

I think that owls never stood for stupidity. ancient greece is indeed a very long time ago. maybe Ley was talking about the Egyptians? did they even have beliefs regarding owls?

[Turin Turambar]

When do I live? In the present.

 

Or is it the future? Every time I blink I get transported another split second forward.

I'm pretty sure it was early Middle Ages.

 

Actually, are there more animals that stand for wisdom? Because I mostly remember that an animal that now stands for wisdom once stood for stupidity. I'm not 100% sure it was an Owl, but I AM 100% sure that something like this was the case.
