Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves.



Learned it while watching the Knick. Had no idea

Daesh is what ISIS is called by its enemies in the Middle East. It translates to biggot.

Let's grow our vocabularies. The last word I learned was syncopate, which means to displace the beats or accents in (music or a rhythm) so that strong beats become weak and vice versa.



Okay. TRIVIA: What pretty well-known song(was a big hit at the time) from a 'few years' ago has "syncopated" in the lyrics?

Hint: the name of the song is kinda the definition.

Funny b/c I only learned what the word meant after hearing in said song as a kid.

Regarding the Caduceus:

quote:

In Greek mythology, the Rod of Asclepius (?),[1] also known as the Staff of Asclepius (sometimes also spelled Asklepios or Aesculapius) and as the asklepian,[2] is a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine. The symbol has continued to be used in modern times, where it is associated with medicine and health care, yet frequently confused with the staff of the god Hermes, the caduceus. Theories have been proposed about the Greek origin of the symbol and its implications.
