Does myrrh smell like pine trees in a way?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Or any kind of forest smell.

It smells herbal, fresh, and more like balsam or cedar than pine to me, but not all that much. It smells a great deal like tansy. Smells are notoriously hard to define, and are perceived differently by different people. It could be described as forest-like, yes.

Why stars have polar regions, and accordingly why planets are not found in different regions around a star?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I mean in the vacuum of universe, what actually determines the pole of a star, and shouldn’t the gravity of a star should work in all directions. So why we don’t have planets with orbits intersecting perpendicularly with each other. Is the fabric of space-time literally flat, or plane?

It’s even worse than you think…

The universe is a single point! The Big Bang is the existence of matter and the continuous expansion of time and space within a singularity — an infinitesimally small dimensionless point. Every point in the universe observes itself to be the oldest and most centralized point in the entire universe – because we are a point!

The reason that planets tend to orbit in a plane around the equator of their central star is because of the accretion disc model of Solar System formation:

I’m sure we will find some really oddball Solar Systems out there that have really bizarre orbital characteristics because they may be formed from merging Solar Systems or whatever; but the accretion disc model seems to be the norm.

Why do the world and his dog go nuts at xmas. The 25th of december was supposedly the day Christ was born so..

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

if you are not a practicing Catholic, why do you bother to buy presents and celebrate xmas day. Oh and the three kings bought Jesus his presents on the 6th January.! So why isn’t this present giving day!

The actual date of Christmas day is an old Pagan festival. If you believe all that religious mumbo-jumbo, Jesus was actually born in June.

What form of star did the Aztec calender follow to make the assumption that the world was going to end?

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

If it was the star of David (Pentagram) with 5 days a week, or the heptagon with its seven points for each day of the week!
Most Wicca rituals have both involved, one for the elements, and the other for keeping track of days. But the Mayan’s had a special way of putting things down to accuracy, and with what astronomical star figuration related to its geometric configuration?

Make sense?

This is the only site I could find about geometry and the Mayan calendar.

I found nothing on a star pattern/configuration.

Question for any hispanics in Orlando, Fl?

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

We are doing the whole Disney vacation thing in January, but I think my husband is disappointed we won’t be in PR for Three Kings Day. Is there any place in Orlando/ Kissemee that does the whole 3 Kings thing like in Puerto Rico?

there is a huge puerto rican population in orlando i suggest you contact the city bureau and see what local activities they have. They dont have anything in the larger parks or malls but maybe within the PR neighborhood. I would contact them directly

what can i use to represent frankincense & myrrh in a children’s craft?

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I want to make "Gifts to a King" ornaments with my children’s group at church. I have ordered some clear plastic ball ornaments which I will fill about half way with some white sand. I have some plastic "gold" coins, but I’m not sure what I will use to represent the frankincense & myrrh? Any suggestions?

If you scroll down there are pictures of what they look like.
