The Pandora legend is the equivalent in Judeo-Christian ethics of the Garden of Eden story ... Pandora's box was, in modern parliance, a can of worms that couldn't be closed once opened, and brought with it the downfall of society (or in the garden of Eden, the expulsion from Eden). In any case, it may be a great concept, but it's an odd name. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19569 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
