TIDBITS 10/24/04
If any of you want Tidbits emailed directly, let me know and
I'll take care of it. Tidbits may be reprinted without charge -- with attribution. Additionally, if you know of anyone who you think would enjoy Tidbits, please make them aware of us. URL (http://www.tyler-adam.com). We encourage you to forward this email to friends and colleagues. ====================================== Female Feminum ... Feminatis ... Feminant. Which is the real word ladies and gennulmen? For thems amongst you who--unlike me--have more than a smattering knowledge of Latin ... you will know that one does not conjugate a noun. That said ... the real word is ... Feminum! Feminum is a rare metal folks ... found only on Paradise Island and no where else in the world. One of the women of the island--born in 1938 as a product of pathogenesis (virgin birth)--had bracelets made for her of this metal. She is quite famous today. Her name is Diana ... also know as Wonder Woman. The bracelets made of Feminum--as you all surely know--made her body bullet proof. And so we go on to the Woman's Bible. For those of you who wonder where the logic is in this segue ... wonder no longer. All ye who enter the world of Tidbits ... leave logic behind ... a prerequisite in the quest for knowledge. Written by Elizabeth Cady Standish, it has some interesting commentary about the Old and New Testaments ... and the obvious superiority of women over men. I ... a mere male ... have no choice but to agree with her views after having read her position as regards Eve and the Apple and the Snake. It's too long to describe here ... but for those of you have time ... go on the Net and search about. It is surely there somewhere. She was clearly way ahead of Adam. Which brings us--quite logically in Tidbits terms--to the Sleeping Beauty. A grim Grimm fairy tale. A child is born to royalty ... a party is thrown ... someone is not invited ... a curse is bestowed upon the child who at fifteen years of age falls asleep for a hundred years ... a prince/hero comes along ... kisses her ... and all is well again in the world. It's your typical every day hero-type story ... good over evil ... all that stuff. And what pray tell dear dear Benjamin ... what pray tell does this all have to do with jewelry? Ahhh ... I thought you would never ask. There was once this jeweler named Lalique who made gorgeous upon gorgeous stuff. And one day he made a lozenge-shaped brooch with a sleeping female face upon it. A very pretty thing ... with only one slight and insignificant drawback. Upon looking at the lovely visage of our sleeping beauty ... I find that not only is she not the much of a beauty ... but she doesn't even look feminine. You be the judge and get back to me. So there it is. For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Female .... for a view of our figure in gold with enamel and diamonds. And there ya have it. That's it for this week folks. Catch you all next week. Benjamin Mark All issues of Tidbits are copyrighted and available from our home page. All rights reserved. |
