Why do you think gas prices are so high? The price of gas has not been increasing gradually, it just keeps shooting higher! It seems as if nothing is been done about it. The sellers of gas are taking more and more everyday from our pockets, more from the money that we spend our precious (or maybe not so precious) time to earn. There seems to be no organization or group looking out for the welfare of the people.I wonder who is responsible.Could the cul...

One interesting myth related to cobra-pearls is that these cobras employ the light of the pearl that they carry in their hoods to hunt at night, as a means of brightening their pathway--this would certainly indicate a property of the pearl itself or in accord with the argument above that a symbiotic relationship is being alluded to here between the cobra and the spirit-elemental of the pearl that the snake hosts. In cases where a pearl is said to have glowing properties it is difficult to valid...
