MarkV, you got me, I ALWAYS cheat!

But yes, I am a Dune fan, I got the film & TV series versiosn on DVD a few weeks back, and read the books years ago. I thought it was a filmbook, I must've read too quick to catch the bible bit.

Here's one for you from one of my favourite authors:

'When a day that you happen to know is a Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.' Name the book and the author.

Vaorlock - I'm still counting - when the thread drops off the front page I'll do another tot up. No more Leos since the last count, and only 2 Librans all told - odd.

We find the "astrologer-priests", in the New Testament, being led to the birth of Christ, by seeing His star. They got that one right, anyway.

Here is an interesting point on the tradtional "christmas story" and the famous "star".
The star led the astrologers first to Herod, who planned on killing the "King of the Jews". The star then led the astrologers to Bethlehem, where they found the *young child*(not baby or infant), because after all, they did not speak to Herod and find the child in one night. When the astrologers did not return to Herod, he asertained, from the information from the astrologers, the child at about two years of age, which is why he had all male children under two killed.
This was no ordinary star. It pointed the way, first to Herod and then to Jesus. Was the star of devine origin, or of good intent? The purpose of that becon was not to bear witness to his birth, but as a means of putting him the death. The gospel record does not say who put that light in the sky, but the first century Christans must have had some idea, for the aspotle Paul wrote, at 2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light."

I love this whistle board. Where else can you have these wonderful, rich discussions?

Are you looking forward to the upcoming Children of Dune series? I have to admit the trailers look impressive.

Hi Mark,

I haven't heard of that one coming yet - not sure when it'll reach the UK. I'll keep my eyes peeled, thanks for the heads up!

I was a piano major and still love to perform -- preferably in an ensemble. I like sharing the fun!

June 8, 1953, which makes me a Gemini. This is somewhat ironic because I really am a twin as well.

I used to be somewhat reluctant to speak and play in public. Over the years, I've begun to enjoy getting up in front of a group more and more. I may even turn into a shameless old character one of these days!

Oh, okay... I'll jump in here though I was trying to be good and not throw my tuppence in.

I'm a firm believer in astrology (as the gasps echo through cyberspace-- I know, what a shocker!

), and with that, you can add another lovely Libra to the count! With a Capricorn Ascendant, a Virgo Moon, and a Libra Mercury to boot!

Still not wearing a pink hair ribbon with a yellow dress,
