Quoth Pagan View PostUrd - fate
Verdandi - present
Skuld - future (She's also a part-time Valkyrie)
Also: The Norns were used to name the characters in Ah My Goddess, just in case you anime geeks didn't know. Urd and Skuld are obvious, but Verdandi had to be changed because of issues with the Japanese language (no r's, no v's, swapped for an L and a B, to become Belldandy)
And again, Huzzah!"I call murder on that!"

Quoth friendofjimmyk View PostOr the fact that Rizzo thought she was pregnant but she wasn't quite sure who the father was!
Good times for the entire family!
"Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee
Lousy with virginity
Won't go to bed
Til I'm legally wed
I can't, I'm Sandra Dee."
And I never watched the cartoon of Hercules, cuz I'm also a mythology buff and I wanted to keep my blood pressure down. I mean, Hera HATED Heracle's guts! She made his life difficult in every way, like she did with every one of her husband's bastard children. And Heracles was named by his mother, in an attempt to appease Hera; the name means "Glory of Hera". Heracles was given his labours for killing his wife and children, while under the influence of a fit of madness sent by Hera. The king he was doing the labours for was a coward and a total SC; he originally set 10 labours, but demanded that Heracles complete 2 more tasks cuz he said that he hadn't done 2 of them right.

I have had this one a few times at my store. Had some lady in ranting and raving when her husband wanted to reserve "Da Vinci Code". She said he could watch it but not to let thier son watch it because it would put ideas in his head, inside my head i was thinking god forbid the boy have an idea. She then went on a 10 minute rant about the movies she believed were evil, you know the usual Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings pretty much anything that had magic or fantasy in it. I had to smile as her husband rolled his eyes, then i handed her her movie and in my best happy place voice said "Yes fantasy is horrible. Heres your copy of Cars about talking vehicles that fall in love have a good night.How do I set a laser printer to stun?

Quoth Geek King View PostI bow before your worthy knowledge of good anime.
I used to be the Anime geek for the Chesterfield store, I scared the Nice AM with my knowledge of anime, and he'd ask me how much of it I'd seen... "Enough. But not this series..."
"Well, then, how do you know so much about the series?"
"I keep my eyes and ears open for info on anime series to look into."

Yes, Peorth is indeed involved in Ah My Goddess. She is the duty coordinator for the goddesses. Basically, she is the mouthpiece for God (If I'm not mistaken, that's her position) She makes sure Heaven runs smoothly."I call murder on that!"

According to Wikipedia (actual source - Kerenyi, Carl (1959). The Heroes of the Greeks. ):
In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads— the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint— and poisonous breath (Hyginus, 30). The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Heracles as one of his Twelve Labours. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, though archaeology has borne out the myth that the sacred site was older even than the Mycenaean city of Argos, for Lerna was the site of the myth of the Danaids. Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian (Kerenyi 1959, p. 143).GK/Kara/Jester fangirl.
