RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST

BEELZEBUB-supreme god among Syro-Phoenician was Baal, lord or owner. adding zebub, insect god of Ekron. flygod, power to repel noxious flies. Taken by the jews for satan, lord of dung (dung beetle whorshipped by philistines) or what jews called idols-dung.

BEETHOVEN, Luwig von-his grandfather left belgium for Bonn, Germany in 1732, had a voice and musical talent, became a court musician to archbishop of cologne. his birth date uncertain. but baptised 12/17/1770.Luwig(german for louis, his grandfather's name). luwig picked the 16th for B-day. his farther was a rough and violent temperm drank and poor. at 5 luwig was made to learn the violin, but soon went to piano-forte. his knowledge apparent in a set of variations on a march in 1783, he was appointed assistant to court organist Neek in 1785. elector Max Franz, brother to emperor Joseph, sent LVB in 1787 to vienna to get lessons from motzart, he studied his art and reluctantly saw himself to alleviate the family difficulties. aversion to making his art useful to himself by imparting it to others. characteristic in the future.
1792, back to vienna to complete studies under Haydn. did not do well under haydn(this i can see cause i don't thin Haydn was that good). LVB later said learned nothing from Haydn.
LVB's autodidactic(like Bach!). he was a great improviser. because of his deafness, he never married. bad servants and a nephew who he treated like a son, who attempted suicide made his later life the pits.

BEHISTUN/BIHSUTUN/BISUTUN- the ancient Baghistan in persia. inscrpitions on tablets in cuniform in rock showed Darius Hystaspes. the rock was smoothed and cracks filled with lead.
name of the rocks? entry confusing. GOOGLE!

RANDOM TIME POST

i didn'thave time to post yesterday. had dentist appointment. it's been a while since i had cavities. one tooth was a different issue. decalcification. looks great now. not that is was horrible before. my teeth are shitty, but look good. sort of. no underbite or overbite, i ain't got no bite. can stick my teeth thru my closed teeth. makes corn on the cob a bitch for some reason.

took about 2 hours. almost as bad as a root canal, a little cheaper. i think they need a wheel like we had on the dremel when we did touch up's when i worked at the stained glass shop. sigh, i miss t5hat job, even if it paid like shit. hey, i got about $2,000 worth of glass in the basement i bet. wait, it's sold by the lb. hmm, i wonder. could it be more? i was constantly gleaning pieces under the cutting tables and getting glass out of the garbage. and when they had to go thru the drawers of glass! those were the best days.
