Has anyone caught on that the pink unicorn is supposed to parallel the golden bull from Exodus?

I just thought you were being a smart alec.

Wow, someone did a search on Yahoo! You should've just done that. I got that same list with the monkey, vulture, unicorn, ultrasaurus, umbrella bird. Well, what do you know...

If so, then as some on here have suggested, let's pack it all in and throw the whole mess away. Having spent a good deal of my life studying the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures I certainly don't come to that conclusion. Instead I see story after story about losers (not winners), the least (not the greatest), the littlest (not the biggest), the dim-est (not the brightest), the foulest (not the most righteous), the f__k-ups (not the ones who get it right), being the ones who are deeply loved and greatly prized. It is not a collection of winner's stories. It is an anthology of humanity with all of its beauty and ugliness, and a God who seems to be remarkably like his/her creation. It is an image (sacrament) about how God has always been in and loving his creation - and that his creation has always been "in" its God. So the redemption stories in those Holy books are not about god leaving anyone out (including herself), but about how everyone was always in (all along).  Contrary to what the moralists and hell-lovers proclaim, God has not changed his mind since saying in Genesis 1:31 about her creation: "it is so good, so very good!"

no they are no way related.\nthe only similarity between them is that they have a hole in the name ;-)

I think that in the book of Genesis, it does mention a "Behemoth" of some ilk- with an enormous tail (ergo, it could not have been an elephant).\n\nAdditonal notes:\n\nIt is in the story of Noah and the ark, where it makes this reference.

To add on to Soplaw's answer, I find it interesting that the symbol has become more "G" rated over the past decade or so.  It used to have nipples (it is a female after all), but Starbucks got rid of that.  A few years later, they got rid of the belly button.  (How controvertial!) \n\nTo Starbucks employees like myself, it's known as the "Siren," and builds off of the sea-faring/water theme that the company built off of.    A siren was a woman/monster whose beauty or song (depending on the legend) was enough to attract sailers to inadvertantly crash their ships into the rocks on the Siren's island.  Thus we have coffee and caffeine luring people back time and time again, though I'm proud to say that no one has crashed their car into any of my stores. \n\n(Furthermore, Starbucks gets it's name from "Starbuck," Herman Melleville's coffee-drinking sea man in "Moby Dick.")\n\nHope that helped!

Yes. But not the contorted, twisted, taken out of context versions that were edited to fit someones personal desires. Somethings in the bible dont quite sound right, but when you understand it and read the whole story of whats going on it all makes sense. Its like zooming out from just a few threads to see the big beautiful quilt. Its all interlinked and beautifully orchestrated. Its hard to see the whole thing when you focus just on a couple threads here and there.\n\nFaith is essential for belief.\n\nI find it neccessary to rebuke this blisschameleon,"Evolution proves adam and eve wrong." Evolution is not proven. Also why are we not still evolving. The bible says God made each one according to its kind. \n\n"And our knowledge of other solar stystems proves that there isn't just one sun in the entire universe." God has one Son, Jesus Christ. He made light and darkness. Please direct me to the scripture where you claim it says "God made one sun, and one solar system."\n\n"Humans traveling to space proves the tower of Babalon wrong." The destruction of Babylon was not over how far from the Earth the Babylonians were making themselves. It was about their attitude. Their wanting to build the tower to make themselves equal to God. Certainly this would not make it so, but it had nothing to do with a tower.\n\n"Jesus' story having similarities to osirus and Hercules.God condoning slavery,racism,sexism,violence... revenge in some scriptures and disaproving them in other scriptures." God is the author of all things. My dear chameleon, you have failed to grasp the concept. God does not condone these things. He allows us to make decisions which results in our sin. You have failed to understand what is going on in the Bible. You are so far from the truth. Sexism????!!! Come on, did you even read the Bible? Women are to be submissive to their husbands, yes. But there is even greater responsibility from the husbands to the wives. And I am not sure you understand the sort of submission God is conveying here.

uh did anybody bother reading the story or is this another misquote?\nmoses went up 3 times first to get the tablets of the big 10 (there are 613 in total) on the way down he broke em (why is long story)\n2nd time to obtain forgiveness for the golden calf\n3 time were instructions on building the tabernacle

Maybe they ate unicorns and heffalumps and murmaids and that's why there aren't any now. :o)\n\nIn my opinion, the whole story is a parable, so it's pointless to ask about such details.

good question. i though the mav one was so cute. :)

Well, they found the Daemon Rightos (no IDEA how to spell that), the golden pyramid-shaped item, which was the most important thing about the case. It had instructions written on it about the ritual, and the monsters... basically it outlined the whole plot once Velma translated it. Velma also figured out the monsters can't be in sunlight, so I suppose that could be considered a clue. I know it definitely helped Mystery Inc. to win.

I really really really love this question. I think you may just be right.They definitly have a greek/roman theme going. the god of love, the love carebear, grumpy carebear and the gods of war

Well, there is a song that says that Noah forgot the unicorn when he was loading up the arc. So, maybe they did.

They came down with the polar bears, via FedEx.  God destroyed the first incarnation of FedEx, as well.\n\nEdit - reading a couple responses here, I see that we have a couple folks that actually DO believe this ridiculous fairy tale.  Let me explain... first of all, the story of Noah and the ark is quite impossible.  (But through God, anything is possible, right? Mmkay)  If the fact that it's impossible isn't good enough for you...\n\nHow about the fact that it's a pagan myth dealing with worship of the sun god?  This is not conjecture, folks.  This is fact.  See my source...

wow. no.\n\nBut, okay, let's actually look at this:\nFirst, it Kermit the FROG, Second, she's a pig. A mammal, gives live birth. He's a frog. An amphibian, lays eggs.\n\nIt just wouldn't work.\n\nSorry, Piggy, it was never meant to be.

I think you are right. Tazmanian devils are funny little things. I also get a good laugh from hedgehogs. But I think the weirdest looking animal has to be the anteater!!! :-)

Well, to me the comparison is clear, not saying it's valid or that I agree. When you watch the original movie, and listen to Marlen Brando's monologue about sending his "only son" so save the human race and that all we need is the "light" to show us the way. \n\nSpecifically, what they are referring to is that monologue. A supernatural being coming to earth to save us, really.  Supposedly, they are using old footage of Brando from the original in this new film, and the words are stunningly biblical. \n\nCheck it out!
