Owledge Posted February 16, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern The usual spelling wyvern (older wivern too) is not attested before the 17th century as 'winged two-footed dragon'.[2] It is an alteration of Middle English wyvere, wyver (13th century), loanword of Old French wivre (French guivre and vouivre), itself from Latin vipera 'viper', 'adder', 'asp',[3][4] altered in Proto-French to *wipera by Germanic influence (see Old High German wipera). Wives - sometimes they are angels, sometimes they are snakes, sometimes they breathe fire. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owledge Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) That's pretty funny. The stuff I watched from Seinfeld was disappointing. People say the show gets better with time, or that its humor from a different era. But soup nazi is a funny idea. Edited February 16, 2013 by Owledge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted February 17, 2013 Also, according to wikipedia, this demon tempted buddha by trying to seduce him with the visions of beautiful women. So, what's this all about? I don't know what to say except during my younger years I rather enjoyed being seduced. And no, it really didn't matter too much what her name was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigweard Posted February 18, 2013 Oh for FFS ... I truly wish insecure men would stop externalizing and projecting their BS fear of women by demonizing them. WOMEN ARE AWESOME !! THEY CAN HAVE SEX FOR LONGER THAN YOU !! THEY CAN GIVE BIRTH !! THEY BLEED ONCE A MONTH !! THEY ARE MYSTERIOUS !! Get the HELL over it !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
