High-Five Fridays #13

1) I keep forgetting to point out Tijuana Bible dot Org, so here's a general all 'round high-fiver for ya.

2) While I caution Rachel, the Pop Feminist, from complete acceptance of the rumors that Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll was a pedophile; I do applaud her efforts in exploring Disney's Alice in Wonderland from a feminist point of view.

3) More props to Hang Fire Books for his Will-ingness to share the risque business card and tips on how to deal with paperback spine issues.

4) The Realist Archive Project is cool, and has earned Official Honoree status in the 2008 Webby Awards.

5) Via Being Amber Rhea, we learn more about mermaids in The Mermaid, by Heinz Insu Fenkl:

Regardless of where we begin our interpretation of the mermaid, or which analytic path we take, we are brought back, again and again, to the ancient Great Goddess, the archetype behind the figure of Mary, who in Christian culture is usually split into the virginal Madonna and the holy prostitute. The mermaid ultimately signifies the fundamental mystery of female sexuality, particularly for men who, because they cannot comprehend it, are simultaneously drawn to it and terrified by it. That is why the mermaid becomes so easily conflated with the siren and her irresistible call that leads men to their doom.
