POPS Paris Evolving Under the Gaze of Notre Dame’s Gargoyles "Like other medieval gargoyles, those decorating Notre Dame were intended as drainage spouts, with internal passages that carry rainwater from the roof and out through the gargoyles’ mouths. The word gargoyle actually comes from the French gargouille, which originally meant “throat” or “gullet”, and Latin words like gurgulio, from the root gar, “to swallow”, representing the gurgling sound of water." "Of course the monstrous appearance of the gargoyles is no happy coincidence, and many believe they were designed to frighten away evil spirits. Da Vinci Code fanatics and conspiracy theorists will doubtless make some secret symbolic connection between these gargoyles and the minds of medieval masons, and of course such hybrid chimeras have made appearances in popular culture everywhere from The Hunchback of Notre Dame to Ghostbusters. Do they threaten damnation or worse to sinners? Judgment Day awaits in Paris."

POPSCannabis Users 'Suffering New Syndrome' Ha! I don't believe a word of it. The 'symptoms' described sound more like a really bad hangover, than a high.... but seeing as I don't smoke or drink myself (ahem), I really wouldn't know! . :roll:

POPSWerewolves of Ossory One evening, as the sun was setting, they reached a great and sprawling wood which ran along the borders of Meath and was known far and wide as part of the ecclesiastical See of Ossory. Dark was coming quickly, and the priest decided that the edge of the forest might make a good place to camp for the night. Accordingly, he lit a small fire, both for warmth and to keep wild forest animals away, and he and the boy prepared a simple evening meal for themselves.

POPSPolice: Carradine death may have been accidental It strikes me that it would have been very difficult for Carradine to tie off his own genitals, then thread the rope around a closet bar, and proceed to tie it around his own neck in a manner that would cause a "hanging".Think of the logistics of that.Impossible.

POPSLawsuits filed over wolf hunting in Rockies http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31073035/ This disgusts me. In one paragraph it says that there are about 300 wolves left in Wyoming. THEN it goes on to say that the population has completely returned. That is absurd.
