Does Ben visit this newsgroup? I suspect not.

If it's a question of the gods, I suggest you give Mercury a call. He
may be able to deliver your message for you.

Or you could post it.

Hoo!

The use of all-caps makes it unnecessary to read it!

The fact that he calls on the name of a figment of his imagination
negates everything.

THE MESSAGE IN UPPERCASE IT IS AND SHALL REMAIN

I stumbled across the nickname 'Bibi' for Netenyahu recently. This is
apparently how the Israelis refer to him in the press and elsewhere - in
an effort to put a human veneer on a corrupt politician?

Some Israelis. Rumour says that he's not very popular now. Whether that
means he would lose an election is less clear, given the large number of
parties in the coalition.

Mercury's wings are on his head. That's an unusual place to sprout wings from!
The 1930s Mercury dime was called so for the winged head on its obverse
side even though it's a depiction of Goddess Liberty's head.

Why?
We know for a fact that the Baron of Munchhausen could lift himself,
and his horse with him out of a bog by pulling on the tail of his wig.
And actually Mercury's wings are on his helmet, so it all fits,

That misses an important part of his 'equipment'.

"And I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And to fly down the street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you'll meet, not really by chance."

Yes, I know. I was merely correction the silly idea
that he could have had wings on his head.

That's quite darin' of you, but still mistaken.
His second pair of wings is on his sandals, not on his feet.
Because of being equipment Mercurius could lend them to others
in need of rapid transport.

Apart from all that, you stil are missing the point.
Hermes/Mercurius doesn't fly with either of those wings.
He flies by means of his winged staff, known as his Caduceus.
By pure magic of course.
The caduceus has wings on top,
and a pair of entwined snakes along the sides,

Jan

PS, They could use one down there.
The Caduceus also served as a sign of peace and diplomacy.
A man carrying a caduceus had to be passed unharmed.
It was their idea of a white flag.

According to /Going Postal/, he also had wings on his fig-leaf.

Greco-Roman artists would find a fig leaf (is a hyphen called for?) prudish..

<<Frescoes discovered intact at the Roman sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum
display penises and testicles with wings and in one mural, young women are
trying to catch them as they buzz around like a flock of birds. A popular lucky
charm/religious amulet worn by Romans, frequently discovered in
archaeological digs, was a pendant of an erect penis and testicles, with wings.>>

Hardly new.
Hermes/Mercurius was the god of diplomacy in ancient times.
(one among his many functions)

Jan

I know Bibi NETANYAHU is not listening to me nor does he even know I'm alive.

Nor do any of you newsgroup attendees for that matter.

But since a cease-fire was raised as a motion in congress today,

I thought I'd reiterate my position on the issue again with not just a no --

BUT A FULL-THROATED HELL NO! -- Pallies should be damned happy and count their blessings

that their enemy is Israel or the entire Gaza strip in another time and place would've already been turned into glass.
