1. Shoel means "Abode of the Dead" in Hebrew.
2. Also see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shomer

EDIT: From "The Christian Party"
Quote:

Our English word "hell" appears in the Old Testament Scriptures thirty-one times. It is of Old English usage but like many other English words, through the years it has taken on a radical change of meaning. Originally it simply meant to conceal, to hide, to cover; hence it was properly descriptive of any concealed, hidden, or covered place. In Old English literature may be found references to the helling of potatoes—that is, putting them into pits—and of the helling of a house, meaning to cover it with a thatched roof.

The word hell was therefore properly used by the translators as synonymous with the words "grave" and "pit" to translate the Hebrew word sheol—the only word in the Old Testament that is translated hell in any English Version of the Bible. It is interesting to observe in comparing these various translations of the same Hebrew word—as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible—that as a rule the word hell is given when the text applies to wicked people, while the words grave or pit are used if righteous persons are involved. Thus the reader is led to an entirely wrong conclusion concerning the death state of the two classes.


EDIT 2: The triangle symbol on the bike looks like a kind of inverted nuclear warning symbol?

 		Wow, veebee, that 's speedy find! Smile

The Ads are really ironically - you cannot read the text behind of this web patrol Smile

I ask myself only about this text from the link veebee posted above:

Quote:
A Beijing netizen need only click the two cartoon police if he or she wants to report malicious information or pornographic websites. [...]

Police would offer a feedback in 30 minutes after they received valid calls, said Zhao Hongzhi, deputy director of the Internet department of the Beijing police bureau.

The cartoon policeman and policewoman would pop up on web pages every 30 minutes.


So, do we have to do with adverts of this web patrol? Or is the website malicious?

It could simply be an IG warning that the website is about to be shut down? Do we think we have all the info we need? If it were the real Website Police, we should be able to click on the officers to get a complaint form. My cursor changes when I hover over the smaller Police in the picture, but clicking on them does nothing. I think there is something hidden in the cartoon, but I have no programs to check it out. Does anyone else?

They're not coming up for me now either. So what was all that about?# Confused

I notice that the stock price has changed:

Quote:
March 14, 2011 BA Stock Price 98.02 [+10]


Who is BA? Did I miss something? (always possible!)

EDIT2: Is this why they are collecting the relics?

The technology necessary for energy directed weapons is simply not within our reach.

SHIELD has less priority when compared to our new line of Intelligence and communications satellites; which will protect the borders of the Peoples Republic of China and maintain peace in Asia.

 		Could be. I mean, they aren't only propaganda, I suppose...

And the whole stock story reminds me about things Apollinariya said me.
She asked me whether I have stocks, and then "walled" me on facebook:

Quote:
well as Russians we both know that it wasn't entirely bad. The current Russian economic boom came as a direct result from the oil crisis that the war created. My family is much better off because of it.


Stop, "peace in Asia"... Do they mean peace as "peace" in "peacemaker" or "peace" as "pax"?

My money's on Pax (Sinica).

I'm trying to work in all the different threads of the story that we have been given. Lumin Comm, well, the Lumin that I can find is a satellite and digital receiver. What would an experiment involve? Why would it have an impact? Why are the artifacts needed? Are they going brainwash everyone?

Foily! Shifty Eyes

 		Good gods I've been busy. Sad The hell thing was a fun read, though... The translation hiccups in what religions are built on fascinates me. I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow and have the rest of the month off work because of it, though, so I'll be around a lot more soon. Haven't gotten a chance to check out the new website, so I've just been keeping in touch with Pollina on Facebook since I check that daily anyway. I'm trying to talk her into trusting Pancito or at least thinking he's a harmless paranoid alien conspiracy theorist instead of a stalker. XD

Me, yesterday at 5 pm CST wrote:
Twinkyman? Oh, Pancito. I know him, we're on some of the same forums. He's good people. A little cryptic sometimes, but he means well.

Going to Mexico? Awesome! I wish I could get grants to travel. Sad


Pollina, yesterday at 10 pm CST wrote:
pancito? forums? what forums?


Me, a few minutes ago wrote:
Aye, Pancito. It's the screenname he uses and he has it as his first name on here. Pancito Twinkieman.

The forums are just for games we used to play. That's where his other name on here, Twinkieman, came from, a game that was Twinkies versus Ho-Hos (you know, the snack cakes). They were big puzzle mysteries, and sometimes very involved conspiracies, which is probably why poor Pancito is as paranoid and cryptic as he is. He gets worked up easily, but he's harmless. Very sweet guy when he doesn't think that aliens are out to get him or something of the like. XD I don't know what he's been saying to get you scared, but he probably is just trying to protect you from something. Don't let him frighten you, but consider what he says. Sometimes he's right.


Poor girl is skeered. I may have called you crazy, Pancito, but I called you sweet too. Balance things out. ;D
