Re: Bibliography II
Angels gonna bring holy powers like healing and divine patience to a hospital setting! ("I told you not to walk on it! I told you not to walk on it why are you walking on it) Guys with wings, what are they going to do? Fly around and be jerks? (Herpestidae, it's cool man, I think you're a cool dude, but so far your harpy is a jerk) It's cool Satomi we can hide our secret love letters between parargraphs nobody will ever suspect a thing
I mean, I don't wanna be a racist here, but it seems like angels have more application in a medical setting than harpies.Last edited by rocketpony; 2010-09-08 at 11:30 AM.

Read the Odyssey for more details on those. But no, they're not.

Re: Bibliography II
And that's why the caged bird sings. Because they want us to have a heart attack.

Re: Bibliography II
Well, the original tale with the sirens was from the Odyssey, in which they would lure men to their cove with their voice. Said cove was surrounded by jagged rocks, and said men drowned to their deaths. Other fantasy writers may have adapted the sirens to their own stories, changing your interpretations of them.

Re: Bibliography II
Sirens were originally bird women in mythology. This seems in part to be because of birds frequently being known for their beautiful singing voices. Later they started being depicted as similar to mermaids. This is likely due to a number of languages having the word for mermaid be quite similar to siren. See wikipedia or monstropedia for more details.

Re: Bibliography II
Sirens were bird women with fascinating singing voice. Harpies were bird women with horrible shrieks. Mermaid were fish women.
Then later harpies, who wanted to have exclusive monopoly on the bird woman niche, struck a secret pact with the mermaids. They shuffled secret funds to the mermaids, which used it for a surprise hostile takeover of the sirens. Ever since then, Siren Ltd. has been just a brand name for Mermaid Inc., and it is no longer present on the bird woman market as convened with Harpy Co.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Bibliography II
Mostly, I think people have just been annoyed that you've asked every single page. I understand your excitement (I'm itching to see Steven, myself) but I think, at least for now, that a little quiet might be prudent. (At least on the Opal front, feel free to talk about the comic all you like!)
