Fables and Folklore

Well Greek myth has the man named, Narcissus. The myth goes that this man was very beautiful, but he was also very vain and proud. Eventually the gods grew angry at him for his arrogance and punished him. They did this by making him fall in love with his face that reflected by a pond. He couldn't turn away and eventually wasted away and died. A more contemporary reference would be in Harry Potter with Narcissa Malfoy who was very proud and had believed greatly that her beauty surpassed everyone else's beauty.

'The Cricket Boy' is a story about a magistrate in Huayin who attempts to find a cricket who can fight in cricket fighting competitions for the king. In his search for a formidable cricket, the magistrate bankrupts most of the local village (due to inflation), including the family of Cheng Ming. At first, Cheng Ming buys his crickets, but eventually he finds a great one for the fighting competition. Unfortunately, his young son accidentally kills the cricket, and out of grief, attempts suicide. While the son lays in a comatose state, Cheng Ming discovers a small, but excellent fighting cricket. This cricket wins all of his fights, including one with a rooster, and becomes the king's favorite. The king makes the magistrate rich and powerful and the magistrate makes Cheng Ming wealthy as well. A year after his suicide attempt, the boy wakes up and tells his parents about his dreams as a fighting cricket.

Yes, vampires are very real. Not like twillight of course. There are real medical mysteries on people breaking down internally from lack of consumption of blood.

Many studies and research on them actually.

The biggest one being suscitatio.com.

In fiction it is because of Hollywood and other 20th century media that the concepts of vampires being incapacitated by daylight and harmed by the sunlight came about. In all the original vampire legends and classic literature (19th century and prior), vampires are allergic to sunlight as they photosynthesize like plants, which can cause great bouts of flatulence.

They were calles The Sirens, they sang beautiful songs and showed you what your greatest desiere was and their song was enchanted so you thought that what they showed you was really happening, you go towards and pretty much you die. fun stuff huh?

It is traditionally thought to be bad luck.

In real life, there might be a slight danger from objects and materials (e.g. paint) falling from above.

Answer 2: Superstitious people believe that it is very unlucky, as is a black cat crossing your path and walking on cracks in the road and breaking a mirror, but I have done all these things and I'm pretty lucky.

Answer 3: A long time ago, a triangle was considered a symbol of life. A ladder leaning against a wall creates a triangle. So back then, walking through any triangular shape was considered tempting your fate. The triangle may also symbolize the Holy Trinity =]

A small, often mischievous creature considered to have magical powers.
A leprechaun.

Well, I have the sims and I know you won't like this, but there aren't really mermaids in the game! You see, to get a mermaid, you have to download one or create one using a program. There are all sorts of possibilities! The one that I first found and it may be the most common, has white shells as a top, and a blue tail with a starfish and fins. But, any other mermaid tail or idea is fine too. Everything else in the sims that you want for your mermaid is optional. such as the hair, skin, etc...

you must put the game on the said way to plug in the game then plug the genie in to the NES the close the lid if it doesn't work then push the game genie farther in or push the game in more then it should work

Monkey has three masters. In Journey to the West(Xiyouji, 1592), Monkey takes the Daoist Immortal Subhodi as his first master because he teaches him his magical skills and method of immortality. He takes the Buddhist monk Xuanzang as his second and main master because he teaches him Buddhist restraint and because he is tasked by the Buddha to protect him. In the Supplement to the Journey to the West (Xiyoubu, 1641), Monkey takes the ghost of Yue Fei, a famous Song Dynasty (960-1279) general, as his third master because he teaches him Confucian ethic.

The legend for the Gemini (pronounced: jem-in-i) constellation is this:

There were twins named Castor and Pollux. They were only half brothers because they had the same mother but different fathers. They had a sister named Helen. They went to fight in the Trojan war so that Helen could return to her husband. In battle, Castor died. Pollux was devestated. He asked his father Zeus (Jupiter) if he could share his immorality with Castor. Zeus agreed and the brothers were reunited as the Gemini constellation.

You have 3 options. 1 Tortoises are faster than hares. 2. Hares need more sleep than tortoises. 3. Slow and steady wins the race.

• A Hero
• A God/Goddess
• A Monster
• A problem
• Sometimes there can be something the hero is given to help win
• The maiden/Beautiful Princess
• A person who helps the hero (this could be the god, maiden or anyone else)

A regular hit from a vampire has no direct consequences, however if a vampire attempts a drain attack on your character, there is a 10% chance of contracting a curable disease. This disease can be cured via a cure disease potion or one of the many shrines throughout skyrim. However, if left unattended for three days, the disease will bloom into vampirism and you will become a stage 1 vampire and gain the various affects associated with this form. Each day that you do not feed on a sleeping person, you will advance a stage and the vampiric effects will increase.

They are immortal.

maranao fable

The myth of the Dragon doesn't have an exact origin. There have been suggestions in the past that the idea for the dragon may have come from dinosaur fossils. Others suggest that it is a type of ancestral memory that is combining the image of the bird of prey, the snake, and the tiger (all of which were very dangerous to our ancestors) to create the image of the dragon. Overall, the fossil idea is more widely recognized. The problem with giving a definite answer is that the dragon has simply been around too long. The dragon is one of our oldest mythological creatures. For now it appears that its origins have been lost.

The dragon is also known as a wyrm, a serpent, the Naga, and the Great Serpent; to name a few. The Great Serpent is also called the Earth Mother. She is found in myths going back several thousand years and on at least three continents. Europe, from the Black Sea eastward, where one of her early names was Dana; Asia, from the Black Sea to India; and North America, in the Serpent Peoples myths. She is said to be called the Great Serpent because she can read and write in the language of life, which takes the form of two entwined serpents and is found in all living things. haha moo.dragons were from the medeval time thought to be large ferocious flying fire breathing reptiles

Yes, Ninjitsu practitioners still practice and teach their arts today. The arts are based upon traditional techniques and modern techniques. The most prestigious practitioners are located in Japan. The traditional provinces are the Iga Province and the former Koga province. If you are looking to learn from the best, you will need to expect to dedicate years of service to learn the arts of ninjitsu. Western schools also offer the modern pay for classes transaction though.

The best example which could be given would be from the Underworld series, which showed a Lycan/Vampire hybrid, with the person being Lycan before becoming a hybrid, and a Vampire/Lycan hybrid with the person being a vampire before becoming a hybrid.

In both cases, the person has blue skin and black eyes. The primary difference is that the Vampire/Lycan hybrid has bat wings and no hair, whereas the Lycan/Vampire hybrid has black hair and more human like features (such as facial structure). However, there are only these two individuals (Michael Corvin and Markus Corvinus) who have undergone these forms of transformation, and to my knowledge the Underworld series is only film series to show such creatures, therefore other representations may exist.

Original answer - If you had some one drooling all over your neck and wanting to suck every little drop out of your body, you would be scared

Vampires would sometimes taunt their victims, mock them. Possibly drain them of blood slowly, maybe even infict some amounts of pain, but still keep victims alive until the vampires no longer needed them. It is said vampires have mental powers and can also torture and frighten mortals through their minds ect.

All canines, above anything else: owing to some struggle between their ancestors, vampires and all canines hate each other more strongly than anything else. Water: Vampires avoid total immersion in water whenever possible, because the water evaporating on their skin lowers their body temperature to the point where it is no longer quite as pleasurable to drink blood. Fire: Fire symbolizes death to all vampires, even previous pyromaniacs. Garlic: It smells uncomfortably like decaying vampire corpses.

As far as we know now it is. There is ample scientific evidence to support it. Some ask, "if we evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes today?" Eugenie Scott (head of the NCSE) responds that that question is equivalent to, "if I descended from my cousin, why does my cousin still exist?

In answer biologists explain that you did not descend from your cousin, but that you and your cousin share common ancestry. Similarly, humans and the other primates (tarsiers, lorises, monkeys, apes) appear to have evolved from a common ancestor.

Natural selection acting on the available genetic variations within a species creates variations according to the needs and selection pressures in a particular environment. This can create a large amount of variation in a relatively short time such as in all the dogs, together with jackals, coyotes and wolves, which are all interfertile, yet which appear quite different in many ways.

We know the earth is billions of years old because we have accurate dating techniques that reveal that fact to us. Long lived isotopes, such as Uranium 235 and 238, Thorium, and Potassium 40 have half lives measured in millions and billions of years. The ratios of parent to daughter isotopes in decent samples reveals the time at which the rocks containing these elements were formed.

On every continent we have found fossils of dinosaurs (including Antarctica). And on every continent where we have found dinosaur fossils we have also found volcanic ash strata above and below those rocks--not always where we find dinosaur fossils, but fortunately often enough. The reason this is fortunate is that volcanic rock can provide absolute dates using the aforementioned radioisotopes that yield good estimates for the fossil bearing strata. Everywhere we have done this (and reliable dates have been obtained many hundreds of times) we have NEVER dated dinosaur fossils less than about 63 million years, or more than 250 million years old. The cretaceous/tertiary boundary has been accurately dated on all seven continents to about 65 million years ago.

The oldest fossils we find are of single celled marine organisms. Stromatolites (bacterial mats of aquatic colonies) have been dated to more than 3 billion years ago. So for several billion years earth's oceans teemed with single celled organisms while its land surface remained barren. A little over half a billion years ago we find the first multicellular organisms, still all in the oceans. Nothing on land. In the Silurian vascular plants first make their way on land, and primitive insects. Within a dozen million years or so we find the earliest amphibians, bearing uncanny resemblance to devonian lungfish. The tetrapodal structure of these earliest land animals is inherited by all subsequent terrestrial vertebrates, up until some reptiles (snakes) lose their limbs.

Nothing about the theory of evolution violates any physical laws, contrary to what some misinformed individuals may claim. Otherwise, scientists would readily reject the theory. In addition, nuclear physicists didn't simply invent evidence for an ancient earth to satisfy the needs of paleobiologists--they came by that evidence most naturally. Even before radioisotopes, however, earth scientists had worked out very closely the ages of the cenozoic, mesozoic, and paleozoic periods using well understood geological processes.

Finally, nothing about the theory of evolution denies the existence of God. It was widely believed, before Copernicus and Newton, that the planets were pushed about their orbits by heavenly hosts of angels. Newton's theory of gravity did not disprove the existence of angels any more than Darwin's theory disproves the existence of a Creator.

No. First, you can not become a mermaid because they are not real. Second, people can not turn into mermaids because they are not real and it is physically impossible. Therefore, you can not have a baby as a mermaid. Mermaids only exist in games, books, and movies. It is all made up and not real.

Only if you're female.
