    To Pendragon: Wish I was onboard for a more timely answer, but this one kicks it. It would be "people, places and things" (all three) for someone in a twelve step program. Who might that be? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL quasi

    The Greeks and Romans called it "Lethe", I think?

    To Pendragon: Here's a bit of trivia for you, besides lethe, the origen of the word "alchohol" is in semitic language, "something subtle". Are the threads slow today or is everyone on late vacation?

    You refer to the word "al-kuḥl"? I understood it had to do with powdered antimony, distillated. There is also "Al-gul", but as that means "deamon" hardly subtle, I think, hum?

    To Pen: Where did you get a deamon reference... would that it be true. Also in the memory banks (but who knows about pre-history), it was mentioned that seeing birds fall down unconscious after eating fruit that had fermented a bit.....this allegedly gave early semitic tribes the idea. still. quasi

    Where did I get a deamon reference? The answer is laughable, really, but I double-checked with an online dictionary to be certain I was right, and wouldn't you know it was mentioned under one of the definitions of "Alcohol?" (Yes, dear friend, you have been misspelling the word, but so would I wouldout spellcheck!) You see I am a Batman fanatic and one of his mortal enimies is Ra's Al-gul, which we are informed means "The Deamon's Head." Except that the words are backwards, and al-gul is what means "deamon" as I determined years ago. Ra would be "head", the name given to the Head or Cheif God. So Batman's nemesis should be Al-gul's Ra. Simple when you show the cards, eh?

    To Pen: Yes my spelling get's dyslexic once in a while. Interesting stuff. You would think a veteran 12stepper would have some things down. Maybe I'll get the huge dictionary out of storage (and not use it for a doorstop). Understand that if you use Mozilla Firefox you can't error with spelling. Soberly, quasi

    Pen...you changed the avatar. Changes again. Remember Guy de Maupassant (not agreeing with him here), "We all devise images of ourselves sufficient enough to deny our nothingness." Some people maybe. quasi

    At this point, the question is probably moot, anyway, as it doesn't help one bit to have statement like the one Quasi, who should know better, made to a person who struggles with self-estem anyway does it? I trust I am at leat refined enough to avoid replying to the remark in the sort of language it probably deserves, capisce?

    Is "biscuits and milk" somewhere in the bible? Because Whitman had it in one of his poems, and I remember seeing it on a Bob Marley page, so I am just wondering if it's somewhere in the Bibby?
