What does Hydra and Shandar mean ? |
Hydra - fighting Zerg units is Starcraft:D
isn't it also like some sort of a class of organisms that live in water or something? perhaps a Bio major can verify |

Hydra
Any of several small freshwater polyps of the genus Hydra and related genera, having a naked cylindrical body and an oral opening surrounded by tentacles.
This is indeed a very interesting thread. |

'The ancient Hebrew alphabet consisted of numbers...
each letter..was a number..
if you add the numbers of the letters in the Hebrew word for 'Garden of Eden,' you get 144
if you add the numbers of the letters in the Hebrew word for 'Tree of Knowledge,' you get 233
now, according to an Italian Mathematician (Fibonacci)..
if you divide 233 ['The Tree of Knowledge']
by 144 ['The Garden of Eden']
you get a number close to Theta..
which is the Greek symbol for the Golden Spiral (or..'the end')'
---inspired by the movie 'Pi', yes. |
Looks like someone's been reading Michael Drosnin's "Bible Code."
Pi was such a good movie--if the movie had come out a year later than it did they surely would have chosen "Fibonacci Sequence" over Orbital's "P.E.T.R.O.L." as the theme song. |

yes, but thats assuming that BT still would have made a song titled Fibonacci Sequence without the influence of the movie hehehehe...things that make you go hmmmm.
as for the hydra thing, as mentioned can mean many things, but just to add to the mythical one...
The Hydra which lived in the swamps near to the ancient city of Lerna in Argolis, was a terrifying monster which like the Nemean lion was the offspring of Echidna (half maiden - half serpent), and Typhon (had 100 heads), other versions think that the Hydra was the offspring of Styx and the Titan Pallas. The Hydra had the body of a serpent and many heads (the number of heads deviates from five up to one hundred there are many versions but generally nine is accepted as standard), of which one could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other heads were severed another would grow in its place (in some versions two would grow). Also the stench from the Hydra's breath was enough to kill man or beast (in other versions it was a deadly venom). When it emerged from the swamp it would attack herds of cattle and local villagers, devouring them with its numerous heads. It totally terrorized the vicinity for many years.
Heracles journeyed to Lake Lerna in a speedy chariot, and with him he took his nephew and charioteer Iolaus, in search of the dreaded Hydra. When they finally reached the Hydras' hiding place, Heracles told Iolaus to stay with the horses while he drew the monster from its hole with flaming arrows. This brought out the hideous beast. Heracles courageously attacked the beast, flaying at each head with his sword, (in some versions a scythe) but he soon realized that as one head was severed another grew in its place. Heracles called for help from Iolaus, telling him to bring a flaming torch, and as Heracles cut off the heads one by one from the Hydra, Iolaus cauterized the open wounds with the torch preventing them from growing again. As Heracles fought the writhing monster he was almost stifled by its obnoxious breath, but eventually, with the help of Iolaus, Heracles removed all but one of the Hydras' heads. The one remaining could not be harmed by any weapon, so, picking up his hefty club Heracles crushed it with one mighty blow, he then tore off the head with his bare hands and quickly buried it deep in the ground, placing a huge boulder on the top. After he had killed the Hydra, Heracles dipped the tips of his arrows into the Hydras' blood, which was extremely poisonous, making them deadly.
Other versions say that while Heracles fought the Hydra the goddess Hera sent down a giant crab which attacked his feet). This legend comes from a marble relief dating from the 2nd century BCE found at ancient Lerna, showing Heracles attacking the Hydra, and near his feet is a huge crab. Also other legends say that a stray arrow set alight the forest, and it was the burning trunks which Heracles ripped up and used to cauterize the open wounds. |
