Where in the World is Sacul? (Part Two)

Where in the World is Sacul?

One clue has been added to the comments.

How American Are You?

With the Fourth of July fast approaching I thought this quiz was appropriate. Those from other nations are encouraged to participate as well.

You Are 81% American

You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges. Tough and independent, you think big. You love everything about the US, wrong or right. And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!

Just a Thought. . . . .

I think a good product would be "Baby Duck Hat." It's a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then all of the sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man those ducks would really take off! Also Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.

Why Can't You Be More Like Your Brother?

Just read in The Washington Post that:

"A judge wants a psychologist to evaluate Alec Baldwin to determine whether he is fit to see his 10-year-old daughter more often as part of an ongoing custody battle with former wife Kim Basinger."

I wonder if that psychologist could also determine how bad a case of Bush Derangement Syndrome Baldwin has — and whether he’s fit to speak out on politics.

While denying that he said he’d leave the country if Bush was elected President in 2000, Baldwin did say “that what happened in the 2000 [presidential election] did as much damage to the pillars of democracy as terrorists did to the pillars of commerce in New York City [on 9/11].” Perhaps the judge needs to call in a second psychologist.

“Let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six.” (Revelation 13:16-18)

As the number 666, “number of the beast,” according to the Book of Revelation conjures devilish images for many, so forecasts of evil, even doom are rampant regarding dates or places where the number occurs, including Tuesday, June 6, or 6/6/06.

“Like most superstitions, the avoidance of the numbers 13 and 666 are examples of magical thinking. People everywhere believe that things associated with other things, through actual contact or just some similarity, have causal relationships, even over space and time. Things associated with good events or great people can bring good fortune; things associated with failure, disastrous events or evil people carry some of that negativity with them,” Phillips Stevens, Jr., Ph.D., associate professor of anthropology, explained.

“The mark of the beast, 666, signifies those in thrall to the emperor and thus opposed to Christianity, and is most probably the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew letters for Nero,” Stevens adds.

“Many perceived enemies of Christianity have been labeled the Antichrist, and Nero was one of the first,” Stevens says, adding that there is an ever-growing, ever-changing list of persons considered the Antichrist that features “a long string of mostly historical figures—Saladin was on the list, as was Hitler, and Saddam Hussein. The list varies according to who compiles it. Early Reformation-era Protestants had some popes on their list.”

Some people are taking the concatenation of numerals seriously, with reports of expectant mothers fearing that their babies will be born that day might be the anti-Christ.

Meanwhile Hollywood is trying to capitalize on the date by releasing a remake of “The Omen,” the 1970s horror classic. The film tells the story of Damien, a 666-marked child who is the Antichrist. Marketers of “The Omen” have blanketed the nation with black billboards stating: “You have been warned. The signs are all around you.”
