The irrelevant "peanuts" tag was taken from #17 Me, Religion, and Daniel.
 
 
Turtle does not appear in my list of irrelevant tags.  Although perhaps it should.  As I noted in He Said / She Said: "'turtle' may be a reference to Owen."  Curriguy noted it as irrelevant in that episode.
 
 
Bug comes from #16 What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About, not Swimming.
 
 
Skeeter, or variations thereof, is mentioned numerous times in Swimming, and not listed as a tag.  I'd say that this is not "grasping".

I think you misunderstood what i was implying. I was not saying that any of you were grasping, i was saying *I* was grasping. I was just showing that its kind of odd to mention walrus and tag walrus. How often does a walrus come up in a conversation? they may not have been in the same tag/video relationship, but the fact that it was brought up again. The coincidences. |

				     |

				okay...so ive been looking some stuff up. What about Shamanism? Thelema is Pagan and Pagans generally use shamanism. Here is a site that i looked up the animals at: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/4076/indexlist.html
 
 
On a lot of the tags i got things that make sense...but i need help stitching it all together and finding out more. 
 
 
hamster = gentleness, love, responsibility. I think this one could be used to describe the "orginal" bree that we were introduced to. We kinda see this in the "normal" videos. 
 
Puppy appears in the first Proving Science Wrong. According to the site "dog" means understanding the quality of doubt and faith" i think this may have something to do with it. 
 
Squirell apears in the hiking video. To me, this is the video that first seemed wierd. It was like a different view. "Squirell" often means, change of direction, warning.
 
Platypus apears in the PSW spoof. "Platypus" means "remain as you are"
 
Ocelot appears in "Bree - Cookie monster"...in that one we first see an actual connection to something "101206". "Ocelot": connection w/ physical and spiritual world....connection to the unseen.
 
 
 
problem here is that i based it on one site. On other sites, and in other forms of religion meanings could be similar but more meaningful or worded different. So...help? anyone agree with me or am i crazy? |

				Thelema isn't Pagan per se. They're Pagan in the Christian sense (they're non-Christian) but not in the Pagan sense. Pagans are nature worshippers by definition, and Thelemites are esoteric. _________________ One day, people will look back and say that Jess Rose gave birth to the 21st century. - Will Harris |

				Phylum also means "a large group of languages that are historically related". 
 
 
Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition
 
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 
The book develops some aspects of Eco's A Theory of Semiotics which came out in 1976.
 
 
Using the example of the arrival of the first platypus in Europe, Eco looks at the problem faced by scientists in their attempts to classify the creature for eighty years, and at the contractual nature of the negotiations that produce shared meaning. _________________ LG15 needs more COWBELL!

				| This may be really reaching, but maybe we could use the first or last letters in the superfluous tags to make a message of some kind. Those videos lacking extra tags would be spaces? I have not had much luck in doing this so far, but it was just a thought. |

that is exactly why I first compiled the list, but it didn't pan out.
 
it may be coded?  but I had no luck with that either. |

				Yeah the clues are probably more symbolic. I thought of the code too, but I have probably just been watching too much Kyle XY.
 
 
The main reason I thought of a code/word clue was because the tags don't seem to be pointing in any kind of common direction. |

				Ancient Malagasy legend said that the Aye-aye was a symbol of death. 
 
 
The Aye-aye is often viewed as a harbinger of evil and killed on sight. Others believe that should one point its long middle finger at you, you were condemned to death. Some say the appearance of an Aye-aye in a village predicts the death of a villager, and the only way to prevent this is to kill the Aye-aye. The Saklava people go so far as to claim Aye-ayes sneak into houses through the thatched roofs and murder the sleeping occupants by using their middle finger to puncture the victim's aorta. |

				Latest video (my first kiss) has the tag of 
 
 
"Scimitar"
 
 
Which is 
 
 
" scimitar is a sword with a curved blade of a design finding its origins in western Asia (Middle East).
 
 
The name can be used to refer to almost any Arabian sword with a curved blade. The word "scimitar" is most likely a derivative from the Persian shamshir." |

				scimitar; a curved oriental saber; the edge is on the convex side of the blade 
 
Posible a ref. to H.P. Lovecraft's 
 
 
The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath 
 
 
Which features a charater that carries a scimitar and is called Carter |

				Scimatar is an interesting tag, indeed.
 
 
From: http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Scimitar
 
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | In fiction, warriors of Middle Eastern or Asian cultures often use scimitars, for example the character Yellow Robe in ''Journey to the West¡" Scimitars are also commonly used when the inclusion of a fairly exotic weapon is desired by authors of fantasy fiction and role-playing games.  | 	  
 
 
 
Furthermore in searching the title of "Journey to the West" on
 
http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Journey_to_the_West:
 
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | Journey to the West¡ is one of the Four Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Originally published anonymously in the 1590s during the Ming Dynasty, and even though no direct evidence of its authorship survives, it is traditionally ascribed to the scholar...The work is also known as Monkey from the title of a popular, abridged translation by Arthur Waley¡Part of the novel's enduring popularity comes from the fact that it works on multiple levels: it is a first-rate adventure story, a dispenser of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory in which the group of pilgrims journeying toward India stands for the individual journeying toward enlightenment. It also has much comedy, poetry and word play. | 	  
 
 
Hmmm.  Bree's journey to enlightenment?  Monkey? Hmmm. |
