Get the Kin mug.The name given to large black birds, who look similar to crows but are larger and more solitary. Corvus Corax. Often associated with healing, magic, successful hunting, death, and mischief. Considered to be messengers between the living and the other world. Honored by almost all human societies. Ravens are considered among the most intelligent of all birds; they can learn to imitate a variety of sounds, including the human voice. Ravens are scavengers and will eat just about anything that is dead; but they will also hunt for mice, lizards, small birds, snakes, insects, and berries.
They are mentioned in many mythologies, both in North America and in Europe. Among the Native Americans, Raven is a creator and trickster god. In Norse mythology, Odin’s two Ravens Thought and Memory are divine spies so to speak. They are mentioned in many poems and novels, perhaps the most famous is Edgar Allan Poe’s Nevermore.

Ravens are amazingly beautiful and graceful flyers, maneuvering effortlessly in the sky, whirling and twirling and gliding through the air, riding updrafts with ease.
"Though the birds have a wide variety of sounds and calls they may not be willing to divulge their secrets to us." Quote the raven? Aaarrck!

Get the ibid mug.An alcoholic drink which many bar and grills are inept at making correctly. A mudslide consists of equal parts Vodka, Kahlua, and Bailey’s Irish Cream. Should be served with cracked ice in an pre-chilled old-fashion glass or you can make a frozen mudslide dessert in a blender by adding 2 to 3 scoops vanilla ice cream. Both versions are delicious.
I hate it when I have to tell the bartender what a drink is and how you make it, particularly when it is such a well-known one such as a mudslide.

Get the Mudslide mug.Death is The End of life.
Think of life like a movie and death is when the power surges and blows out the TV. Death is when the film gets so damaged that even if you were to get the electricity back on, the movie will never play again. Alive is only the memory, gone is the spark that made the movie play…or the person alive.
Life is too short and death is too long. You don’t have all the time in the world, so go out and enjoy life as much as you can. Life is like a beautiful flower…flowers fade; people you love either leave you or die. No matter who or what you love it will not last forever, it will come to an end, as all good things do. Death is your final wake up call. Wake up and live before he knocks on your door.

Get the Death mug.The smallest bit of something which can possibly exist. For example, light energy comes in quanta which are known as photons, and can be thought of as particles of light. You cannot have an amount of light more than nothing but less than one photon.
To use the phrase 'quantum leap' as a monumental jump is extremely funny when you realize that a quantum anything would be the smallest thing imaginable.
