    Salem - makes it into the news

    Today The Guardian, that wonderful UK newspaper so renowned for it's typos that it's known as The Gruaniad, has an article on our very own God of C. Of course they've misspelled the name as Selam but ...

    Salem, the early years

    So, he's been dead for 3.3 million years.
    How long has he been a god?

    When did the Romans make Poseidon? 3.3 million years is a little bit before the Roman's time ... hmmmm ... there's only one answer - time travel.

    Hang on ... Salem's a girl?!?!?!?!

    Maybe he existed as a soul for a long time?

    I think gender makes no difference as a god.

    Sigh ... I'll just stay evasive so

    Perhaps I am hopelessly attracted to him ... Max, you wanna get some steak sometime? Maybe some whiskey too ...
