I'm pretty sure the following is not the one you are referring to but just for the record, in Chinese Mythology, there is one such story.\nIt goes like this;\n\n'There was a lake in China where 7 fairies would come down to bathe themselves. They were the daughters of the Jade Emperor and were in charge of weaving clouds into clothes for the deities, hence they were called the Weaving Maids\n\nOne day, a cowherd happened to chance upon them while they are bathing. He was stunned by their beauty and stole the garments belonging to one of the sisters. Without her fairy raiment, she could not ascend into the heavens and so, she married the Cowherd and lived happily.\n\nFinally, came upon a day when she found her clothes which her husband had stolen and she proceeded to fly back into the heavens for she had missed the times she spent with her sisters.\n\nThe cowherd chased her in vain and begged the heavens to allow the couple to live together. His sincerity touched the crows and they told him to put himself and his child into a basket and they would lift him up into the heavens.\n\nThe Jade Emperor, angered by the impudence of a mere mortal , ordered him to be struck down. The Weaver Maid, seeing her husband and child died, became so sorrowful that the Jade Emperor was so touched by their love, finally relented the husband to become a constellation the Cowherd. The Weaver Maid and the Cowherd constellation would remain divided by the Milky Way the entire year, except on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar year, a bridge formed by crows would allow them to reunite.\n\nThis legend also gives the explanation why the birds loses the head feathers, as their head where trodden by the eager lovers\n\nOn that day, many women in the past would pray to the Weaver Maid, wishing that they would too meet their man of their dreams.'

If you can't figure it out by copying the way it is currently designed then perhaps...fit the string(your choice)in,then securely tie the knot.Cut off the excess string then burn the edge to smoothen the knot out...try to hide the knot within the nunchuku.You may not want to swing that thing around other people just in case...

I think that all Mythological Gods (especially the Biblical GOD) are Metaphoric representations of elements that are extermely important to the Human condition. I guess it is also possible that many Mythological Gods were attempts of Humans to focus their Mentay or Spiritual powers in hopes of gaining control over the Earth or the Sun or the Sea or anything else they wanted to control. I suppose either would be possible, but I doubt any of them are real people.

The connection is typically considered to be a mythical one.  It supposedly involves the shamrock--three leaves forming one shamrock--and the doctrine of the Trinity.  I'm assuming you know about Arianism and about the Trinity, and that the connection is pretty clear.  For a little more detail, see the link below.

I believe people explain things to the best of their knowledge, and the people in the past are no different. As a general rule, mythology has some connection to fact - even if it is a very slim link.\n\nLet's take for example the Centaur - a being that has the body of a horse, and the torso of a man where the horses head would be. Now, imagine if you will that you have no concept of saddlery and you see at a distance a man or group of men riding horses. Anyone knows that a well-trained rider on a horse can appear to be fluid, and accomplish some amazing feats, so at a distance it might seem that a four-legged beast with the torso of a man is maneuvering. So the beginnings of a myth are created, and are propagated by the retelling of this tale.\n\nConsider another example - Dragons. While the exact appearance of a dragon varies (Eastern vs Western, wyrms vs serpents), one common detail is large size. Now, despite the reluctance of the current government, it can be agreed that China is the site of amazing fossil remains, as are many other locations all over the world. Imagine that someone was to dig up large petrified bones, but had no concept of 'dinosaurs' or the theory of evolution. A peasant, a magistrate, a knight, a feudal lord - all might surmise that they are the bones of a large animal and where there is one large animal, there are others. Eastern mythology places Dragons as part of the Celestial Order, Western mythology sees them as the test of mettle and chivalric valour. Again, the tale is told to any who will listen and gains some credence in folklore.\n\nGranted, this is supposition on my part, and might be a grand example of pulling together some half-assed truths. Then again, people judge their world by their own experiences and knowledge. It is easy enough for 'errors' in the retelling of tales about foreign creatures or things found to accumulate over time. From here, a fact becomes a tall tale, and over an age become legend and then myth. \n\nBesides - you know how gullible some people are...   8)

Yes, i would wear a noose because it is a symbol of His sacrifice for us. Don't get me wrong , I understand your view. As a matter of fact, for the first 1000+ years, the Catholic church's only symbol for Jesus and Christ was a fish because they considered the cross an instrument of the devil. When crosses became extinct as a form of torture and death, the church reviewed the cross as a symbol and determined it was instead a symbol of God's love for us. Just like a gun becomes a symbol of peace and liberty when it is used on one's army.

Very cool! It's my all-time favorite thing to do.\nBut you have to trust the person tying you up- that's a vulnerable position if things go wrong. Keep scissors nearby in case the knot is too tight to untie. Use a safeword that means "enough already- untie me now!" (Red light or Safeword are good safe words).

First how do you think, you got your knot?\nIs it chronic or new?\nRelief of symptoms:  \nNew symptom I would use ice intermittently & Ibuprofen to decrease swelling/pain. (first 24 hours)\nOtherwise take a hot bath with epson salt.\nI recommend doing some Yoga or\ntreat yourself to a massage.

No, it is a myth.  But, it's a cool idea.  I'm sure someone will pick it up, write a book about it and make lots of money making people believe it.

My great-aunt once wrote an entire book about Greek mythology in a sort of story-telling form. It was a very informative book, and it helped me stay aware of Greek and Roman references more often. People (including me) often speak of the weather as being "hotter than Hades" as a more polite way of saying "hotter than hell." Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, which would be compared to a Christian concept of hell. Companies still use these references even today in shoes (like Nike), sporting equipment, technological equipment, flowers (think FTD Florist using Hermes as their symbol), and cleaning supplies (think Ajax). As an English major, I wrote at least two poems with mythological references. I love the musical "My Fair Lady" which is related to "Pygmalion" and the old myth of the man who created his ideal woman. If you watch Disney's "Monsters Inc." there is one part where the little one-eyed monster Mike is contemplating how to smuggle the little girl Boo back into the company, and he uses a Greek reference to the Trojan horse, but dismisses it as "Too Greek!" Children would probably not understand what he said, but those of us who have studied mythology would. I do not use mythology as a replacement for religion, but it helps to understand historical references and symbolism around us.
