Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 2,000-year-old temple in Alexandria dedicated to a cat goddess.The Goddess is, of course, Bastet, sometimes known simply as Bast.
The temple is the first trace of the royal quarters of the Ptolemaic dynasty to be revealed in Alexandria.
The find confirms the Greek dynasty of Egyptians continued the worship of ancient animal deities.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

Doesn't really sound like me:
| You Are Artemis! |
Brave, and a natural born leader. You're willing to fight for what you believe in... And willing to make tough decisions. Don't forget - the people around you have ideas too! |
And as for other things I was going to go into, I'm way too sleepy to mock properly. So I'm afraid I'll have to postpone things. Good Night.
