    Reverence, a lot of people don’t know this, but Pegasus droppings were actually considered to be a blessing. Greek myths included mentions of sailors placing them in the mouths of ship’s mastheads as a prayer to Pegasus’ father Poseidon for a safe voyage. That’s why they were called hail stones.

    Wait… is that a regular spider or is that Anansi (sp?) the African Spider spirit/deity?

    That’s Anansi and Karma. Asian, Greek, and African influenced strip today. Although no tricks from Anansi there. :)

    For potentially obvious reasons, I’m glad that they got Pegasus’s color right in the new Clash of the Titans.

    Sisyphos and Pegasos have certain things in common. That’s all I’m saying, for now.

    Pegasus might have been the first hybrid vehicle, but it didn’t have much torque—it was only one horsepower.
