You're right. I didn't look closely enough. BTW they are celebrating booty. So do I. DSK The Siren seems to be more fishy, boobs about the same. http://www.illusionsgallery.com/siren-L.jpg Ever hear anything at sea that might be the source of the legend of the Siren's song? Joe Yeah...this woman down the dock that used to get drunker than a skunk and trhey'd sail in at midnight with her wrapped around the forestay singing Broadway tunes... Was she naked? If so maybe, but IIRC the legend may be a bit older than your friend. I think it has to do with volcanic holes and caves sounding like organ pipes in the wind. Sailors at sea that hear the music are intrigued and lured to find the source.. but are sailing towards certain disaster. Joe Um...Joe....try going way far back to the Greeks and do some research there... Any where by chance did the Greeks get the legend? Joe Out of a guy named Homer's head.... And just where do you think Homer found his inspiration? Joe A bottle or two of wine.... Shared with sailors no doubt, telling stories of following strange music at sea only to have the hull ripped out from under them. Most all legends have a grain of truth to them. Which brings me back to my orignal question. We know Sirens use music, do Nymps use sex? I've heard a nymphomaniac is addicted to sex. So if a sailor is drawn to a nymph is he a nympho? No, just really tired. Seahag |
