Venus

And now for something completly random:

I've been thinking lately, so does anyone else agree that its oddly (if not poetically) fitting that the planet representing love has a toxic atmosphere of Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur, with surface temperatures so extreme that metal begins to boil, and arguably the closest thing we'll ever find to Hell?

    i disagree.

    love is beautiful, and venus was named because it was a bright light in the sky, and the ancient astronomer who found it had most likely never been there.

    but you probably could have figured that out.

    wait.. are you getting at something? are...

    are you actually trying to say..

    are you <i>insinuating</i> that love is...!


    oops, oh... i had the idea and i lost it.

    Maybe its a little of both. If you think of what you see at first and then whats really there. Maybe thats what love is.

    However, I don't think I have to remind you that if you have relationship problems that this isn't the best forum to post them on.

    Then, put a few raisins on top of that, and you've got yourself a Peanut Butter Log with Giant Ants on it! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    whats even more odd is that the symbol for the goddess Venus is the same and the sign for Diablo. (well not really, damn religious fanatics did it on purpose)

    If you put celery in a cup of water with dye in it, the celery will turn that color <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But if you put a lot of salt into the water, the celery won't change color.

    Well, this thread went from funny to spam in 3 posts.

    To attempt to head off the lock, because apparently none of you are interested in actually going along with this:

    It all depends on where you're viewing love from. If you're far away looking at it, it's a bright shining light that you wish you could visit. If you're within it and you're ready for it (i.e. protective gear with the Venus simile), it's a life-changing experience. But if you're not ready for it, or it does something you don't expect... it's one of the worst experiences of your life. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Especially if they're giant ants.

    Love is war, and war is hell. So logically, love is hell. So, Venus being a hellish place doesn't surprise at all.

    You should try cottage cheese. It's really nice.
