    Ixion

    At last, finally, the entire world, nay the universe, may just be about to recognize KB's Ixion and immortalize one of our own by awarding him the status of 'planet' (as oppossed to being considered a cold old rock (with an 'r')) .

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    So now we'll have ten planets to our little system?

    Wonder how they will re-write that, My Very Excelent Mother Just Baked Nine Pizzas memory device...

    see her, you'll never free her

    My Mnemonic was "Mrs Vujcic Enjoys Mutilating Junior Students Using Naughty Practices."

    We could make that work if we went with "Ixion": "Mrs Vujcic Enjoys Mutilating Junior Students Using Naughty Practices Indecently."

    I'm sure our esteemed Mr Ixion would not object to being the "Indecently" part of the mnemonic...

    Interesting wee story there....!

    This was the thing that stood out for me the most..."He is significant in many respects, but is chiefly known as the first human to shed kindred blood"



    Doesn't relate to motorcycling and let's hope not to our own Ixion either! However......"Because this was a crime new to the human race, nobody could purify Ixion and he wandered an exile"......hmmmm

    Ah, the everlasting soap-opera of the Greek Dieties. They were always up to something - that Zeus, eh? What was he thinking, bringing a red-blooded human into the presence of Hera? Inventive in punishments, tho'...

    No doubt planet Ixion will crash into something and blow it up. As the moon is made of cheese Ix will be C4.

    Arrrggghh. Don't remind me of that bloody cloud . Though the nom-de-web is chiefly a humble genuflection in honour of my reverend and illustrious namesake The Rev Canon Basil Davis, whose nom-de-plume I have pinched with as little justifcation as I have ability to meet the standards he set.

    Does no-one remember the original Ixion, whose erudition, scholarship, and Christian bonhomie were exceeded only by his love of motorcycles. That is he, and his Norton in my avatar picture.
