Heya,

I thought of opening a club because I love all Mythologies, especially the greek. I'm learning the language of the old greek people in my school and we translate for example the Odyssee. Sooo interesting!
I just love it!

I believe it's the general idea of being a great rampaging lion with snakes for tails or something....

you know after reading the DaVinci Code I've been paranoid about religious conspiracies. the Greeks did relate the chimera to bad fortune, but in Christianity it's related to Satan. probably something to cover up something else...

can't you tell I'm not a Christian....
