5 Reasons Why I Love Zoroastrians (And You Should Too)

5. The Magi that visited Baby Jesus were Zoroastrians.
(No Zoroastrians=No Christmas presents)

4. Cyrus, the Persian emperor who allowed the Jews to return from Babylon and rebuild the Temple, was a Zoroastrian.
(No Zoroastrians=No Temple)

3. Marrying a parent or sibling is a pious practice in Zoroastrianism.
(No Zoroastrians=No incest?)

2. Zoroastrians worship God through fire.
(No Zoroastrians=No salvation for pyromaniacs)

1. Zoroastrians are my current research project.
(No Zoroastrians=No blog entry)

I rest MY case.

Zoroastrians!

We put our heads together to try and come up with an update about what we were doing.

Andrew's contribution? "Zoroastrians!"

Nothing blogworthy. I rest my case.

Game: Memory Lane

Memory Lane!

The lovely Rileigh Anne Foutz Hansen encouraged me to do this post. As I left a story on her blog about the time she inadvertently became topless in a swimming pool, I expect good retribution. Here is the game:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.
