I'm worried that if there's war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

1945-1959: Same as 1930s but the scientist guy is also a Nazi (and Hitler has a bullet hole lmao)
I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?
That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.
Yeah Greek mythology is weird.
O Gabriel, now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall GLISTEN before the temples of Man!
Well that is a healthy family for sure
The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king's wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.
You know, I watched that show Netflix canceled, with Jeff Goldblum, and so I'm like, hey, that's right! Sure, could've paid attention in school, but better Nate than lever.
Why the fuck did netflix cancel season 2 of Kaos??
lol a minute ago I wasn't even aware of this show and now I'm annoyed it's been cancelled. sounds like jist the thing for me
it's in the terms of service agreement; you agree that they can use telemetry to determine what you like and whenever they detect that you like a show they will cancel it immediately.
Not cancelled by christian fundamentalist who complained that no one should recognise any other god but theirs?
Probably because I share accounts with people and they're doing it to spite me.
Kaos is the show you’re thinking of.
The Longest Joke in the World is the Nate and lever reference (well worth the read).
Thanks, for some reason I was thinking Cronos, I dunno.
And yeah, I remember reading that joke what feels like 20 years ago at this point, someone put it in the ebaums forums, took like 20 separate posts because of char limits, and I couldn't stop telling the joke to people after that, it's just too perfect.
For anyone who can't wait for the ending:
It was his sled from when he was a kid. There, I just saved you two long, boobless hours

Wait, I thought the minotaur was the son of the king of Minos' wife? Did gods do double-damage on his bloodline?
You are correct, the bull that sired the Minotaur was not Zeus, and Europe was not the mother. That's a different bull-queen pair.
I bet they did more than that.
The whole god/demigod/etc. ancestry is totally fucked up. Zeus copulated with every woman he could find, even his sisters!
Anything with a pulse really. And probably some things without.
EU - "Nation States"
Thanks! I just googled it and it mentioned "Europa and the bull" representing unity and peace.
We could definitely use some of that, but unfortunately we just get a bunch of what the bull leaves behind instead... :/
Makes me wanna cry
