ellauri097.html on line 107: Like Nietzsche, he also lambasted religious belief and the very concept of Cod, as Mencken was an unflinching atheist, particularly Christian fundamentalism, Christian Science and creationism, and against the "Booboisie," his word for the ignorant middle classes. In the summer of 1925, he attended the famous Scopes "Monkey Trial" in Dayton, Tennessee, and wrote scathing columns for the Baltimore Sun (widely syndicated) and American Mercury mocking the anti-evolution Fundamentalists (especially William Jennings Bryan). The play Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized version of the trial, and as noted above the cynical reporter E.K. Hornbeck is based on Mencken. In 1926, he deliberately had himself arrested for selling an issue of The American Mercury, which was banned in Boston by the Comstock laws. Mencken heaped scorn not only on the public officials he disliked but also on the state of American elective politics itself.
ellauri097.html on line 128: Elsewhere, he dismissed higher mathematics and probability theory as "nonsense", after he read Angoff´s article for Charles S. Peirce in the American Mercury. "So you believe in that garbage, too—theories of knowledge, infinity, laws of probability. I can make no sense of it, and I don´t believe you can either, and I don´t think your god Peirce knew what he was talking about."

ellauri156.html on line 433: Searching for a possible birth date for David produces an ideal candidate, a holy day on 6 of the 7 known sacred calendars. The day Sat 4 Jul 1057 BC was 17 Tammuz (H), 14 Sum (Enoch, Summer Fast), 1 Res (V), 1 Bir (M), 1 Deer (SR), and 1 Jac (Easter on Priest). That Hebrew day is known simply as the Fast of the Fourth Month, which the Lord says will become a day of rejoicing some day (Zech. 8:19). That date ranks with the best birth dates found so far for the prophets. It is identical on the Venus and Mercury calendars to Isaac Bashevis Singer's birthday. This date fits the pattern so well of all the great prophets, as it should to be in Matthew's chain of key links to Christ, that it confirms this whole set of dates as being correct, including the Biblical assertion that the temple was built in the 480th year of the Exodus.
ellauri241.html on line 1637: Endymion declares that he will let go of the possibility of immortality so that he can love and adore the Maiden instead. The god Mercury appears and strikes the ground with his magic wand. Winged horses arrive to fly Endymion and the Indian Maiden into the sky where the shepherd-prince dreams that he is in Olympus which is the sanctuary of the gods. He is conflicted when he suddenly sees Diana who is also known as Phoebe and she looms over him. Endymion looks over at the sleeping Indian Maiden and "could not help but kiss her: then he grew / Awhile forgetful of all beauty save / Young Phoebe's, golden hair'd; and so 'gan crave Forgiveness." Once again he looks at the Maiden with adoration, but Phoebe begins to fade away, and he protests in panic. The noise awakens the sleeping Maiden next to him. In this moment Endymion chooses to abandon Diana and immortality as he professes to the Maid, "I love thee! and my days can never last. I always love the one that is readily available, she is the best." They soar through the sky and the Indian Maiden grows pale and suddenly vanishes before Endymion's eyes. Ow fuck! He cries out in surprise and grief as he finds himself alone yet again.

ellauri249.html on line 43: An example of a sōpio (see below), the god Mercury was depicted with an enormous penis on this fresco from Pompeii.
ellauri249.html on line 110: Verpa is also a basic Latin obscenity for "penis", in particular for a penis with the foreskin retracted due to erection and glans exposed, as in the illustration of the god Mercury below. As a result, it was "not a neutral technical term, but an emotive and highly offensive word", most commonly used in despective or threatening contexts of violent acts against a fellow male or rival rather than mere sex (futūtiō "fucking"). It is found frequently in graffiti of the type verpes (= verpa es) quī istuc legēs ("You're a dick you who read this").
ellauri425.html on line 585: Vjerka Serdjutška (ukr. Вєрка Сердючка), on ukrainalainen koomikko, tanssija ja poplaulaja. Hän edusti Ukrainaa Helsingissä Eurovision laulukilpailussa 2007 kappaleella ”Dancing Lasha Tumbai”. Esityksessään Serdjutška oli pukeutunut naiseksi ja hopeiseen folioasuun, ja hänellä oli päänsä päällä hopeinen tähti. Edustuskappaleessa laulettiin saksaksi, ukrainaksi, englanniksi, venäjäksi ja mongoliksi sanoituksia, jotka eivät tarkoita oikeastaan mitään. Serdjutška oli yksi finaalin ennakkosuosikeista ja sijoittui lopulta toiseksi 235 pisteellään. Hän hävisi voittaneelle Serbialle 33 pisteellä. Serdjutškan laulua arvosteltiin, kun osa eurooppalaisista oli kuulevinaan laulussa laulettavan Russia goodbye (hyvästi Venäjä). Serdjutška kiisti asian ja varmuuden vuoksi muutti kappaleen nimeksi ”Dancing Lasha Tumbai”. Serdjutškan mukaan Lasha Tumbai on mongolia ja tarkoittaa kermavaahtoa. Dancing Lasha Tumbai sijoittui Britannian singlelistalla sijalle 23. Suomen singlelistalla se sijoittui peräti toiseksi. Serdjutška myi vuoden 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadown, jota Freddie Mercury ajoi elämänsä viimeisiin päiviin asti, Sotheby’sin huutokaupassa vuonna 2022. Taiteilija päätti lahjoittaa koko summan legendaarisen auton myynnistä Ukrainan kuntoutuskeskuksen rakentamiseen sodasta kärsineiden ukrainalaisten kuntoutukseen. Serdjutškan mukaan lause ”lasha tumbai” on mongoliaa ja tarkoittaa kermavaahtoa, mutta oikeastaan laulun sanat eivät tarkoita mitään. Jotkut ovat myös kuulleet lauseen ääntyvän kuten englannin Russia goodbye ’hyvästi Venäjä’, joka viittaisi vuoden 2005 oranssiin vallankumoukseen.
xxx/ellauri233.html on line 261: Brittien ja hollantilaisten protestanttisen kaukoidän ryöstölaivaston laivat oli nimeltään Toivo, Hyväntekeväisyys, Usko, Tottelevaisuus, Voitto-Sanoma. Laivaston alkuperäinen tehtävä oli purjehtia Etelä-Amerikan länsirannikolle, missä he vaihtaisivat rahtinsa hopeaan, ja suunnata Japaniin vain, jos ensimmäinen tehtävä epäonnistuu. Siinä tapauksessa heidän piti hankkia hopeaa Japanista ja ostaa mausteita Molukkeilta ennen kuin he suuntasivat takaisin Eurooppaan. Heidän tavoitteenaan oli purjehtia Magellanin salmen läpi päästäkseen kohtalolleen, mikä pelotti monia merimiehiä ankarista sääolosuhteista johtuen. Laivastossa oli kaiken kukkuraxi mukana 30 englantilaista muusikkoa, mm. Yardbirds, Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Elton John, David Bowie, Phil Collins, Cat Stevens, Sid Vicious, Brian Eno, Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin, Keith Richards, Freddie Mercury, Keith Moon, Adele, Amy Winehouse, The Who, Electric Light Orchestra, The Smiths, The Gorillaz, Bee Gees, Dua Lipa, Dire Straits, Spice Girls, Iron Maiden, The Queen, Olivia Newton-John, Billy Idol, Boy George, Pink Floyd, Motörhead, The Clash, Elvis Costello, Nick Drake, Donovan, Marianne Faithful, Edward Elgar, Petula Clark, Kate Bush, Sade, Dido, Sting, Seal, Cream, Haendel ja Rod Stewart. No okei, oli niitä enemmän kuin 30, mutta silti vittu. Ne kaikki hukkuivat. Jotkut heitettiin laidan yli ärsyttävästä soitosta.
