Well ladies and gents I'm going out job hunting again tomorrow. I really hate this feeling useless bit with the no job and all. I'm trying to make some quick cash off E-Bay selling Magic cards and gaming stuff but thats not going so hot since I can't meet alot of the bulk buyers prices.
It really sucks that I have so much managers experience but not a lick of proof of it. I really shouldn't have pissed off Ralph before I moved. 3 years as the assistant manager of a hoby store is pretty good for a 22 year old.
I need to clean this place before people come over for gaming tomorrow, I'm a dwarf
I'm heading off in July to Toronto and Fenlin Falls Ontario to visit childhood friends and just generaly get drunk like old times. I miss that place alot. I went there every summer from the time I was 13 to 16
Haitian zombies
I promised this a few days ago
Haiti is where the word zombie comes from. Now wether the word comes from the kongo word nzambi, which means "god." It may also derive from the word zumbi meaning "fetish".
Zombie in Haiti are made for one reason in mind...Slavery. As presented in Wade Davis, a Canadian ethnobotanist book The Serpent and the Rainbow (also a movie) making a zombie is a dificult task that only a handful of witch doctors can do. And anyone asking too many questions will more then likely be killed.
A living person could be zombified by the ingestion of two special powders. The first, coup de poudre (French: 'powder strike' - a wordplay on coup de foudre, 'lightning-strike'), induced a 'death-like' state, the key ingredient of which was tetrodotoxin (TTX). Tetrodotoxin is the same lethal toxin found in the Japanese delicacy fugu, or pufferfish (Tetraodontiformes). At near-lethal doses (LD50 of 1mg), it is said to be able to leave a person in a state near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious. The second powder of dissociative hallucinogens held the person in a will-less zombie state. Davis popularized the story of Clairvius Narcisse, who was claimed to have succumbed to this practice.
Once zombified the person has no memories of there past and have an no ability to vocalise due to the brain damage caused by the drugs. With a person in such a daze they are sent to work slave labor in plantations, with little to no resistance.
