Hogwart's School Song

Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!

The Alchemical Psalm (Psalm 19)

1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Steel Forge Victors!

I had mentioned my "predictions" earlier in this post - they were about as vague as Professor Trelawney's, I'll admit. But I'll just point out how my analysis of the 4 elements involved in the game played out.

Fire - As I predicted, fast Willie Parker was the fire when he literally burnt up the record for longest run in the superbowl with his 75-yard touchdown run in the 3rd quarter.

Air - Seahawks controlled the air with Hasselbeck passing 273 yards to the Steelers 168.

Earth - Steelers stuck to the earth for 181 yards running to the Seahawks 137.

Water (interpreted as "cunning defense") - The Seahawks cunningly intercepted 2 key passes and turned one into a touchdown. The Steelers had one pick.

So there you have it. Of course being a fan and a native of the 'burgh, I'm thrilled the Steelers got "one for the thumb" tying with Dallas and San Fran for the record of 5 Superbowl wins. I hope everyone found my little interpretation entertaining and my self-congratulation amusing at least.

I tell you, I was on the "South Side" in Pittburgh Saturday night and so was very glad to hear they just roped the whole of E Carson St off because things were crazy enough and traffic bad enough as it was Sat night ... but, man, would have hated to be down there if they had lost LOL

But I'm also just glad they won in general

Rowling would truely be proud of you man, this is exactly what I think she is doing with Quidditch as a symbol of Alchemical transformation
