• The Egyptian 'Lotus' - Nymphaea Caerulea, the Blue Water Lily - Called a 'lotus', the depictions of the floral symbol of Upper Egypt is actually known as a Nymphaea caerulea which is actually known today to be a water lily.

• Alex Chiu's 'Immortality' Rings Diary - Two weeks have passed since I started using these rings. (Though I really don't get why they're called 'Immortality' Rings because Alex Chiu himself states that you can die even with these rings. Talk about contradicting yourself!! (27th September)

• The Egypt Page has been updated with a new link - the KMT EZBoard Egypt Discussion Group. (27th September)

• My Alex Chiu's 'Immortality' Rings Diary - I've kept one for one week, so far - shows how I have (or haven't, as the case may be) been affected by these supposed medical wonders, reputed to stop you ageing and to heal your scars and illnesses by using the body's chi/ki. (19th September)

• Attacking Children? These Actions MUST be Condemned! - I really am sickened, and I can't believe that people can do things like this. Disasters usually bring out the best in people... but these people are sickening.

• My Anime Expo 2001 page is now (finally) live!!! Yay! Check out my AX photos and journal!!! (3rd September)
• Can you do me a favour? I need 40 unique hits to get one of these rings for 'free', so I can write a review on them in my ex-Themestreams area. I hope to write an unbiased review (though if they don't let me sleep, like some people are saying, I'll be writing a rather ... negative review!) about them, and tell you all what they did (if anything) for me. Want to help get me the unique hits (one hit will do, thank you)? If so, go to: Alex Chiu's Site (WARNING: I do not believe in or promote any of his other theories, so be very careful with them.) And why not find out about Christianity, too, just incase you do die with the rings... ^_~ (31st August)

• The Inundation - Until the Aswan High Dam was built, Egypt received a yearly inundation of the Nile. Although the ancient Egyptians did not realise the cause of the inundation - they believed it was the coming of a god - the flood was a very important event in the lives of all Egyptians. (28th August)
• Kunoichi's Chat is back! I'm not quite sure how good this new version is (it was designed to totally run on another system, which is pretty useless IMO, when I have my own site), so if anything doesn't work as it should, please e-mail me at kunoichi@thekeep.org - Thanks! (22nd August)
• Hapi, God of the Nile, Fertility, the North and South... - Hapi was both god of Upper and Lower Egypt, each form with a different name - the Upper Egyptian Hapi was called 'Hap-Meht' while the Lower Egyptian Hapi was known as 'Hap-Reset'. Hapi was a deity of fertility - he provided water, food and the yearly inundation of the Nile. Without Hapi, Egypt would have died, and so he was sometimes revered even above Ra, the sun god.

• Well, as Manifest is getting close (three days, in fact!), I've made up a Yahoo Club for the little Melbourne Anime Con.
