> By way of contrast, the hero Orion made one serious goof and wound up in testpatternville.

Orion was put into the sky, becomeing the contiliation Orion (his belt is the easist bit to see)


> Mythology is also a favourite topic of mine, although I tend to rely on my memory when I'm showing off.

I mainly used my books to confirm what I remebered and to correct my imfamous spelling

> My favourite mythologies are Ancient Greek, Ancient Scandinavian, Celtic, and Modern American (also one of Speedball's favourite mythologies, yes?).

Modern American Myths, well, yes, there are social Myths (the American Dream), urban myths (the woman who mirowaved her pet (either a dog or a cat) to dry it off), historical myths (George Washington and the cherry tree), Comic Books, and TV Shows (Star Trek, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Also Scandinavian (or Norse) mythology. Now they have a dim view of the after life. Even if you die a noble warriors death and go to Valhalla you will be completely detroyed during there end of the world, Ragnarok.

I also know a lot about King Arthur, which is a whole mythology unto it's self.
