Peacock
Again, this post is being written with no research. Probably a lot of it will be lies. So I don't know what Bryan knew about peacocks and religion, but I only know of their connection to the Yazidis. The Yazidis are often criticized for being Satan worshipers. It isn't that they don't worship Satan, because they do, it is just that Satan is not a bad guy for the Yazidis.
The history says that Satan did fall away from God and became the enemy to God an righteousness, but then he repented and is a good guy again. He is one of the highest beings in existence and is holy and meant to be worshiped. Kind of interesting.
So that's that.
And now few notes that aren't quite solid enough to merit their own post, but I don't want to forget them:
I was so bored yesterday so I played basketball in the morning with some of the other law school guys (big disaster-never trust people when they say they aren't good to try and get you to go along), then I went running for a few miles and then I went biking at night in 32 degree weather for about 6 miles. It was great and my plan is to try a 30 miler once I have a free weekend. I was really enjoying the whole endorphin thing; I think they are stronger when it is cold.
They have this I am making a list of books I think I ought to read before I go out into the world to try and make a living. So far I have Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Flies, at least one Hemingway, and biographies of influential past presidents. I don't really know anything about any President before Clinton and I figure it is just good to know about who did what. I think FDR onwards is a good starting point. At least everyone through the cold war. And why is Reagan such an icon?
Hy-Vee, our local Smith's or Giant equivalent, has this awesome ice cream flavor called Star Tracks. It has chocolate stars filled with caramel. And caramel swirls. What is the difference between carmel and caramel? Is the mountain the only thing that is Carmel?
I tried some chewy nerds on friday and they were great. I recommend trying them.

I only knew that peacocks were religious because I looked up "religious birds" on Google and it gave a whole list of them. I was looking at a lot of them and noticed that the site used quite a few old Northern European paintings as their proof, like the Annunciation and Nativity scenes, where the peacock is supposed to reference the omniscience of God (the circles on the tail are meant to be eyes.) It can also represent the cardinal sin of pride, apparently.
There's the Peacock Island in Berlin. That's all I know.
Once, and I tell no lies, I saw a peacock at the zoo.
And also, I used to put my trash in that white vase that mom would use to hold the peacock tails we used to have.
