The question that occurs to me is, "What would happen if you sacrificed a skunk to the Vedic gods?" Would they feel pleased at the sacrifice and thus propiated? Or might they find the whole scene hilarious and -- Vishnu help us -- *laugh* at it? And if they *did* laugh, should the organizers of the skunk yagya feel attacked? My head hurts from pondering all this heavy Vedic stuff. I'm going to watch Battlestar Galactica... :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
