		<description>JD, I think the religious ritual you&#039;re thinking of is the Nazirite vow.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazirite&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; says the vow required a person to refrain from cutting his or her hair.  (It also required adherents to avoid graves and corpses, and to abstain from drinking wine, fwiw.)  There&#039;s some speculation that Jesus was a Nazirite based on some of the things said about him in the gospels.

I see the Sphinx, incidentally.  Guess it&#039;s back to worshipping Ra, Osiris, and the rest of the Egyptian pantheon.  :)</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t be silly. It&#039;s clearly a slightly stretched image of the Sphinx, as depicted in my handy accompanying animation:

		<description>Coady is quoted as saying the image is proof that Jesus is listening.  Why do these people never see an image of the devil?  What would she do if it did look like a traditional devil?  Get a new iron?  Would a trip to Wal-Mart put an end to Satan&#039;s dastardly plans?

I used to work at a Subway and occasionally this woman would come in late at night and order a foot-long roast beef sandwich and a drink.  Every time she ordered, the total came to $6.66.  And every time, she would say that she wanted something else, anything else, just to change the price.  She didn&#039;t care what it was, and usually wanted me to choose something since she didn&#039;t really want the item, she just didn&#039;t want the price to be $6.66.  This would go on for a while, each time she came in.  I eventually wondered why she didn&#039;t just change her regular order to avoid the price, if it bothered her so much.  That&#039;s besides wondering WHY it even bothered her in the first place.  Does Satan dance a happy little jig every time a cash register rings up $6.66 somewhere in the world?

The mental capacity of the people I have to share the planet with is depressing.</description>
