#800

In Chinese numerology, the number 8 represents the totality of the universe. For that reason, the Beijing Summer Olympics began on 8/08/08 at 8.08.08 pm. The number 8– laid sideways– also represents infinity. In Tarot cards, the number 8 stands for strength and justice. For the Pythagoreans, the number 8 is the symbol of the love. Any zeros after a number are considered multipliers.

New this year is an ugly truck contest.

Camel Assisted Therapy

Camel Assisted Therapy

Petting a dog, a camel or an elephant can reduce feelings of loneliness and stress. Assuming of course, you don’t get spat upon, peed on, bitten or squashed.

It’s not that animals have magic vibes coming out of them. It’s about giving people a sense of life beyond what they ordinarily experience.
Quotation from William Banks, Saint Louis University

Elephant Therapy and Equine Therapy Programs are used as tools for gaining self-understanding and emotional growth in adults and children, and are especially effective for children with Asperger’s and Autism.

Do Not Use Elevator

Do Not Use Elevator

Everyone has a charm to ward off evil. Some wear tiny crosses at their throats. Others wear copper bracelets to ward off disease. I know a man who won’t walk under a ladder because it’s “bad luck.” Rabbits feet were popular a century ago as good luck charms. Wearing “lucky” socks, underpants or hats are common charms against injury or defeat. I turn the other way whenever a black cat crosses my path. I cross my fingers for luck. I also cross them behind my back when I tell a white lie.

Carrying a cat whisker in the glove box of the car protects against car theft, troubles, accidents and traffic tickets.

It’s Right Under Your Nose

It’s Right Under Your Nose

I’ve added some new widgets to Encore Seraphine, including a Search function and a Tag Cloud. I hope you like the changes and decide to try them. The current publication pace of a new comic roughly every other day is working great for me. In about a week, I’ll be presenting my 700th comic. Thank you for your encouragement and wonderful comments.

We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction. There are many voices of counsel, but few voices of vision; there is much excitement and feverish activity, but little concert of thoughtful purpose… It is our duty to find ourselves.
Quotation from Woodrow Wilson, 1907

The Five Second Rule

If toast always lands butter-side down and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

It’s said that looks don’t matter because eventually everybody meets in the middle anyway. But ohhh, what easier paths some people have getting there than others.
