dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/17/2009 8:45:04 AM)

Types of crackers?




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/17/2009 6:32:57 PM)

They are all Nabisco crackers.

[And if you count only one type of Ritz, they're all wheat crackers.]




Aylee -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/17/2009 11:58:04 PM)

Actually I was thinking that they were all Kraft products, specifically crackers.  http://www.pirg.org/ge/reports/kraftproducts.pdf 

But, yes MM is correct, they are all Nabisco crackers.  (Kraft merged with Nabisco in 2000)

New Quartet:

Atra-Hasis
Genesis

mnottertail -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/18/2009 8:22:03 AM)

All are slightly differing accounts that have a common 'Garden of Eden' sorta morality tale. 

So for example:
Gilgamesh = Adam
(in gilgamesh I believe there was no Eve, he just got directly fucked from the snake.)

BTW Gillie pre-dates Gennie by at least a thousand years.




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/18/2009 8:30:59 AM)

Ron,

You are wrong---but you are SO on the right track.

Gilgamesh is 2/3 god, so not equivalent to Adam. Nor does he live in an Eden-like world.

They do, however, all tell a tale in common. Further, I believe they are the ONLY sources that do.

Obviously, as early epics they will have a lot in common with many other works of that sort, but this should narrow it down.

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/18/2009 8:31:38 AM)

Flood narratives?




mnottertail -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/18/2009 8:32:07 AM)

no, gonna be the snake and temptation I think




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (8/18/2009 8:38:34 AM)

Sorry Ron...you're all wet (I couldn't resist)...

dc has it--specifically, the Babylonian flood. They even built a big boat.

Further, each of them maintains that from that event, they are the progenitors of mankind (and all creation), completely for some, largely for others. Go figure.

You're up, dc!

Well done, MM. We'll look for the new quartet later.
