  Life is To Short....

  Whoooops!!!!

  Just looked at "Wikipedia"...

  Turns out that the Starbucks' icon is a "twin-tailed sea siren"...

  Well, it's NOT a dayyamed "sea-goddess", at any rate...

  Just an icon from mariners' culture...

  Here's a discussion of the various forms that "sirens" have taken throughout history...

  And here's a website that gives a somewhat obscure - and quite gruesome - meaning to the term, "figurehead"...

  Crud, Flipper...

  Sorry to tug your thread off-topic... Again....

  ZID- No problem my friend, you can go off topic any time you want on my threads ! Doesn't bother me in the least. I'm all for free expression. Thanks for the kind words. I think it's also a good idea for JW's to see how people in the real world view them as they live in such a protective bubble and can't see the forest through the trees many times . Peace out, mr. Flipper
