I have been iron like a lion in Zion. Not like a lizard, though. I have added _V_ to my Netflix queue. I remember enjoying watching them eat mice in the early '80s. ---

IIRC, it was expensive. In later episodes they’d be about to enjoy a tasty mouse, but they’d be interrupted, look at it regretfully, and set it back down. ---

See? Fishpeople would just have to swallow a smaller fish. It’d be like a frat party stunt, then a beer chaser. Or like Japan. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > It should be noted that many (if not most) people who use “New World Order” to refer to a shadowy world government are talking about da Jooz. Personally I thought it was bad enough when the NWO took over [WCW](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_World_Order_(professional_wrestling)). I’ve heard it used for the government that the Antichrist is going to establish after all the Christians are raptured up.

> [@mbh](#): > > David Icke often get interviewed for those TV shows about the Freemasons, and the Bilderberg Group, and the Skull & Bones Society. He doesn’t mention reptiles in those interviews. Just the standard evil-rich-people conspiracy stuff. He is calm and articulate, and often comes across as the least nutty of all the people they interview for those shows. I have not read any of his books, but if he writes as well as he speaks, he is probably very persuasive. > [@cmyk](#): > > Then he’s a reptile. What better cover? You are probably right.
