Watching mythbusters, Jamie made a reference to Icharis. "I think I'm going to end up like Icharis, and you all know what happened to Icharis."
Well, I don't. What happened to Icharis?
Beware of the scary banana fingers! For they are mushy, and yellow.

Icharus is in Greek mythology. Basically, him and his father made these wings out of wax, and his father warned him not to go too high or else the sun would melt his feathers and he would die.
Well, guess what happened? The stupid kid didn't follow his dad's instructions and he plunged into the sea and drowned.

Correction. The sun melted the WAX. Not the feathers. lol! How can you melt feathers? hahahahahaha good one
Without sensibility no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
You know, Lama, you could have asked me...*is hurt* No one I know knows more about Greek/Roman mythology. (I'm not braggins, I'm just a wealth of useless information, that's all...)
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.
