Spooky.. just when I was starting to make this entry my amplifier slowly turned the volume down to almost minimum setting, all by itself. Had to think a bit to figure out that there’s no such quiet part in Opeth’s The Moor (from excellent Still Life album), but with 11 and ½ minute long prog metal songs you can’t always be so sure.

Anyway, I quickly visited a supermarket today, and saw this grill:

What’s the connection between the Morning Star and cooking? Perhaps they’ve trying to convey the idea that the Bringer of Dawn also brings forth the time of breakfast? I know some people who truly enjoy grilling, but I find it hard to believe that more than a few people actually grilled their breakfast. The mean surface temperature on planet Venus is 480°C, which is hot enough for cooking, but this is rather far-fetched even for marketing department imagery. They could at least have given a bit better hint than a picture of some horned gnome with a pitchfork.
