2019 - Day 302/63 - Tuesday...Basilisk...

The image used to accompany this journal entry has nothing to do with the journal entry what-so-ever. The journal entry has nothing do do with anything of any value either. I have always referred to this journal as the 'Seinfeld' blog, because it is about nothing. The image in this entry is about nothing. The journal entry itself is about nothing. The image in this entry is of no value, and the journal itself (going on eleven years now, EVERY FREAKIN' DAY), is of no relative value, and the fact that you are reading it earns you no knowledge or respite from the crap of which you are surrounded on a daily basis. Its sole intention (today and today only) is to give you a break. I hope you enjoyed the few minutes which you can never retrieve, but could also be the most valuable time you have spent all day long. Even IF all you do is to check this journal religiously to check for spelling and grammatical errors.

Basilisk -- Adjective. suggesting a legendary reptile with fatal breath and glance. baleful, spellbinding. "Allegra Fulton has a spine of steel, a basilisk glare in her eyes and a knowledge of legal loopholes that is superb." Richard Ouzunian, Toronto Star, October 30, 2015

Did You Know? In Hellenic and Roman legend, a basilisk (also called a cockatrice) was a serpentlike creature capable of destroying other creatures by way of its deadly stare. The modern basilisk is a lizard that belongs to the Iguanidae family and supposedly resembles this fabled monster; it has a large, inflatable crest atop its head and is sometimes called a Jesus Christ lizard for its ability to run quickly across the surface of water. The use of basilisk as an adjective occurs most frequently in phrases such as basilisk stare; recalling the notorious gaze of the legendary basilisk, it describes the deep and piercing look of someone who is frightening or seductive.
