Triceratops is from the Cretaceous; the others are all from the Jurassic.

Those are all ancient Egyptian terms dealing with life and the afterlife.



Pretty much, they're the names of souls assigned by Egyptians
ka being the life force
ba vitalizing force
akh state of death
ab the conscious, ethical values and moral judgement

Just realized I forgot Quentin Crisp on that list. They're gonna take my gay card away for sure this time! [&:]


I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to report that to someone. Actions have consequences and this was really just unacceptable! Now that would have been a helluva list because I wouldn't have figured it out if Crisp had been on the list.

I said I was going to bed over an hour ago and I'm blaming you and this horrible addictive post as to why I haven't.

Well, I kind of liked my answer better, because it's not so clear that these are really the same thing as what we call "souls."

The ab is, basically, the heart; it's not really a soul.

Really? I look at as the part of the soul that speaks for right/wrong, ethics etc. However I can see where it could be said to be the heart. For the Egyptians (as I interpret it) One could lose their ab (the ethically devoid or those without a conscience (sp) such as a serial killer perhaps) and yet still be a living being. Of course I could be completely and utterly wrong. It is simply my interpretation of things.

Is there still a quartet to be solved?




Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/4/2006 12:40:16 AM)

I don't think so, because I fucked up my triceratops puzzle.  But I'm also heading to bed; I'll be back tomorrow.

Its ok, I screwed up yesterday a couple times on which post was which going between the two. I'll leave it to someone else to post a quartet. I've been cursing DC for well over an hour now because class starts early in the morning and I really should have been studying. By the way, its been a pleasure to battle wits with you this evening. Thanks for the fun.

Still lovin' the elephants!

They're all old-time movie stars, but I assume that's not what you're looking for.

Yes there is a bit more to it than that.





Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/5/2006 12:02:42 AM)

None of them ever won an Academy Award.

Edited to add: Come to think of it, none of them was ever even NOMINATED for an Academy Award--right?




SDFemDom4cuck -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/5/2006 12:14:52 AM)

LaM!

Bingo...some of the greatest actors of their time and they've never even been nominated. Although JB was given an honorary posthumously I do believe but I'll have to fact check that for sure.





SDFemDom4cuck -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/5/2006 3:39:06 PM)

LaM its your turn to post...you got the unnominated actors.
