Not happening.

Have you ever wondered about the reproduction rate of a feral swine. It is truly an epiphany.

The feral hog appears to become reproductively active as early as six months of age and possibly have two litters per year. The fetal counts range from four to nine in the pigs (wildlife Services). If one does the math, these pigs do appear to have an explosive reproductive potential.

If each female has two litters per year and average 6 to 7 females per year, that is quite an exponential growth rate. Think about it.

I'll wait until all of this stuff comes out on video.

If a person had no clue to the reproductive skills of a feral swine and then came upon that knowledge and it triggered them to realize something that they had never considered before, then it would truly be an epiphany.

For those already aware of this phenomenon, then they would be unimpressed.


And it is Mr. Asshat to you.

dear mr asshat
if these are the type of epiphanies you look forward to i have a suggestion:
suicide

[asshat]

Personally I think it would be impossible to look forward to a particular type of epiphany since by definition they are things that you are unaware of in the first place. But that is getting us off of the subject and obviously Snarg is having trouble keeping up.

Moving on...

Have you ever really thought about how old and how huge the Great Wall of China is?

China's most popular man-made wonder is the Great Wall. The Great Wall was built in the 3rd century B.C. (completed in 204 B.C.). It extends for about 1500 miles from Gansu province to the Bohai Gulf. The wall averages 20 to 50 feet high and 15 to 25 feet thick. The actual length, including branches and windings, is more than 2000 miles.

Timeline:

1. 5th century BC - Its construction as a series of originally separate walls began
it is recorded that it took 300,000 men 10 years to complete one section.

2. 221-206 B.C. The Qin dynasty--pronounced "chin," thereby providing the Western name China--is established by Ying Zheng (259-210 B.C.). Famous in legend for creating the "Great Wall of China" by uniting several preexisting structures.

3. 1994 - Space Shuttle Endeavor makes two trips and takes radar images of the Great Wall of China from outerspace.

4. 1996 - Chinese scientists studying radar images conclude that two different dynasties built the Great Wall. One was built by the Ming Dynasty and is about 600 years old. The other was built during the Sui Dynasty and is more than 1,000 years old.

------------------

So, if you believed the legend that the Great Wall of China was built over 2,000 years ago during the Qin Dynasty, it must have been a real epiphany to learn that radar images actually date it to be only 1,000 years or less in age.

I think when you study this thread closely and come to a firsthand understanding of what the word means and how it is properly used, that moment will truly be an epiphany for you.

No problem. Oh, and "trying" only has 1 "i" in it.

Thanks for trying to educate me, though. You might take a look at this.

Epiphany n. chr a Christian festival observed on January 6th, celebrating the devine manifestation of Jesus Christ through the Three Wise Men's visit, or, in the eastern orthodox church, the baptism of Jesus Christ.

The significance of seasonal renewal in ancient Egypt

ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA


Epiphany

In Hellenistic times an epiphany (from the Greek epiphania, "manifestation"), or appearance of divine power in a person or event, was a common religious concept. The New Testament uses the word to denote the final appearing of Christ at the end of time; but in 2 Timothy 1:10 it refers to his coming as Saviour on earth. In this latter sense, a festival of Christ's epiphany is first attested among heretical Gnostic Christians (those who believed that mankind was saved by secret knowledge, not faith, and that matter was evil and the spiritual world good) in Egypt in the late 2nd century (Clement of Alexandria, Stromateis, Book I, chapter 21), on January 6, when he was manifested as Son of God at his baptism. The date is that of an Egyptian solstice, celebrated by pagans as a time of overflow of the waters of the Nile, and in certain mystery cults as the occasion of the birth of a new eon, or age, from the virgin goddess Kore, daughter of the earth-mother goddess Demeter. In other places of the Middle East, the time was associated with miraculous fountains from which wine flowed in place of water.

Nothing more is known of an Epiphany feast until the 4th century, when it appears in the Eastern churches as a festival second in rank only to Easter. It commemorated three "manifestations": the birth, the baptism, and the first miracle of the Lord at Cana (John 2:1 ff.). In the latter half of the century Eastern and Western churches adopted each other's incarnation festival, thus establishing the 12-day celebration from Christmas to Epiphany. The particular emphasis in the Eastern feast upon the baptism of Christ led to special liturgical ceremonies of the blessing of waters and the ministration of baptism at this time. In the West, where Christmas was the primary festival, the Epiphany was associated particularly with the Adoration of the Magi to the infant Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12), as anticipation of the universal redemption of Christ in his "Manifestation to the Gentiles."
