Kind of mind-blowing to me at least, being an old Xmen fan.

So you recognize this?

That's Hatley Castle in Vancouver, which has been the X-mansion in every X-men team movie that's been released.

And I mean all the movies...even the forgotten TV movies:

Hatley was also the Xavier Institute in the TV movie Generation X, based on the X-men comics spinoff, way back in 1996.

So technically when you see the Mansion in 2000's X-men, those aren't the first mutant kids to run in that mansion...Jubilee, Banshee, and Emma Frost were living there four years earlier.

I have Generation X on VHS somewhere in my house. Hilarious stuff.

I couldn't consider alot of those girls pretty to begin with, so for them to turn "ugly" isn't much of a stretch.

^ That is pretty mindblowing. I saw Generation X when it first aired, and I remember thinking the mansion seemed very similar in the 2000 film.

See that is interesting. Evan also believes Athena the Greek Goddess is based on the same person as Divine Wisdom (the girl behind God). He believes both religions are talking about the same person but giving her different names.

As the Greeks describe the birth of Athena she is seen coming out of the mind of Zeus. Almost like a brain, like the brain in Michelangelo's Creation of Adam painting.

Thanks to you, I can finally get it to spin anyway I want by looking at either the left + middle or right + middle. Cool.

I always wondered who could have the sense of perception to make an animation like that. Boggles my mind.

It's like unexplainable magic - I could only get it to spin one way, the same way for as long as I could remember, yet I knew that it was possible to go either way depending on your brain. I knew it could, but I kept thinking to myself that it was impossible just because I couldn't do it.

I feel like a long-fought battle has been won today.

I do, and it's mental. I don't even.

Looking at the cross, the faces in your periperal look like monstrosities. Or at the very least, photoshopped. Big single eyes, pointy chins, inflated brains. But look at the faces. Normal people. Weird as fuck.

Doesn't seem like a huge difference to me. Guess I don't have quite the same definition of "pretty".

You're right, I had to watch it twice, and the second time actually look at the faces. Pretty weird.

How about that.

The word night looks like it's derived from the word eight, with the letter n replaced the e.
Case in point, it works in many languages with minor variations:

English : eight > night
French: huit > nuit
German: acht > nacht
Spanich: ocho > noche
Italian: otto > notte
Latin: octo > nocte
Portuguese: oito > noite

So should it be considered to be night time after 8pm?

Regarding the night/eight thing:

Most of those are romance languages, so the only real similarity is an incidental one in Latin, correct? The others just morphed in similar ways. Or am I all off, here?

That girl in God's arms, maybe she's the Aeon Sophia, the lowest emanation of True God beyond the Veil? But that would make the guy in the painting the Flawed God(our creator), Demiurge, wouldn't it?

Seems likely. I imagine that the word "night", in whatever form, predated the notion of numbers applied to time.

If you clench your thumb in your fist with your middle, ring, and pinky finger and stick your index finger in your mouth you will NOT gag no matter how far you go in. The moment you let your thumb go, you'll have a gag reflex

You might have very well destroyed an entire entertainment industry by revealing that secret.
