Goat, snake, eagle

His Eminence has it. I won't ask you to name the order.

Homer describes it as "a thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle, and snorting out the breath of the terrible flame of bright fire". Other descriptions have a dragon instead of a snake, but those two are always fairly interchangeable.

Over to you YE.

Cheers Weylando. Sounds like a lassie I used to go out with...

Anyway, which famous politician's sister was lobotomized during the 1940's in an effort to curb her moody and flighty ways? (The operation certainly had the desired effect, as it left her mentally and physically disabled).

john profumo?

I remember this coming out again farly recently, but this is still a total guess: Edward Heath?

I seem to recall the sister in question died not so long ago, I think it was a really famous politician... was it JFK?

Right on both counts Rob, her name was Rosemary Kennedy.

The whole thing was hushed up for decades, even though the Special Olympics was founded by her sister in Rosemary's honour.

You can read more it here:

Over to you Rob - see if you can make as cheery question as mine!

On a slightly lighter note, who created this picture

looks like something that clandestine graffiti artist chappy would do.

Unfortunately, I can't remember his name, except that it ended in "y".

That is the one, his 'tag' is Banksy

Yes, I just cheated and looked it up on Wikipedia, he's quite interesting.

Anyway, not a million miles away from my previous question, a dutch Doctor (and savant) called Bart Huges believes that it is possible to achieve a more childlike state of consciousness by doing what?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 12:18 pm

something about arresting development at puberty?

Nope.

This is something that anyone can do at any stage in their life. All you need is an electric drill....
