"Has there ever been an instance in history in which the majority has been right?" (Robert Heinlein)

So, I went down to Orange today to hang out with a friend. My ultimate goal was to see all of the "shape" places that exist down there. We successfully went to the Block at Orange and the Circle (in Anaheim, i think). But we missed some Triangle thing down in Newport, which I was very upset about. But overall it was fun. We watched an all time classic movie, "Snatch," went to Freddricks of Hollywood, and ate the latest in raw fish cuisine.

So I'm heading up to Utah soon. I don't even know what I'm supposed to pack except for a good $10 to play in vegas with. Sorry guys... I'm poor. But I'm sure that I will figure it all out and everything.

Oh, I decided to unblock Joe.

" Dagon, chief god of the Philistines. Originally worshiped by Canaanites before Philistine invasion of Canaan, as indicated by place names such as Beth-dagon in Judah (Josh. 15:41), and in Asher (Josh. 19:27). Either a fish god or the god of agriculture, from Dag, "fish," or Dagan, "grain." On a wall of a palace in Babylon he is shown as half fish. That he was god of agriculture is supported by the tribute which priests and diviners bade the rulers to send when the ark was returned to Israel. Five golden mice and five golden emerods (tumors, ASV) were votive offerings expressing gratitude for Dagon's freeing their fields of mice and their bodies of tumors. Saul's head was placed in a temple of Dagon (I Chron. 10:10). Samson destroyed the temple of Dagon in Gaza (Judg. 16:30). "

looks like we're both right.
