    @ Hillzagold ,

    is it a bird? I'm thinking its a Crow or Raven. I remember something about that being the only animal alone on the Ark because the other one was sent with a message. That would weigh about 3 pounds.... ish.....

    I also know that there is a Raven island that's a mile long :D

    I kinda get the jew not eating it, because they forbid a lot of animals to be eaten, and since the Raven is associated with evil, it can't be eaten. Plus Christians (Gentiles) hate them, they're a symbol of evil cause they eat the dead.

    I don't get the first and last are the pride of the isle. Has something to do with R and N?

    I'm probably missing something. But its my best guess from my knowledge of the Bible.

    I sit stern on the rock while I'm raising the wind,
    But the storm once abated I'm gentle and kind.
    Kings sit at my feet who await but my nod
    To kneel in the dust on the ground I have trod.



    And when once discovered, you'll say with a smile,
    That my first and my last are the pride of the isle.



    explain

    Explain what? the once discovered?

    Its been brewing. It has SOMETHING to do with R and N.

    If you tell me if I'm right, I might have an idea about it....

    "I sit stern on the rock while I'm raising the wind,
    But the storm once abated I'm gentle and kind."

    BTW, I guess I forgot to mention the part about how I came to Crow there too... lol... Crows know when its going to storm and get pissed!!! I know that cause they'll attack cats and such before Hurricanes here in Florida.

    "Kings sit at my feet who await but my nod
    To kneel in the dust on the ground I have trod."

    It also has some relation to a Norse god of storms. Viking Kings worshipped it.... I don't think the kneeling thing has any importance.

    Let me try, i think based on my observation, uhm okey let me explain, i will try my best its not exactly but related ,

    A 1 person, when hes in a school level, hes always obeying the teahers, he always do what his parents wnat him to do, and he is still unprofrssional so he always obey, but one day when he grew up, and hes become a Professional and a rich man those teachers who teach him and his parents who guide him, in order for him to reach what he is now, he just let them, and hes pride now against those people who teach him, and he dont have respect anymore against them, hes pride now..

    OH MAN THAT WAS HARD MY HEAD IS HEADACHE BUT I STILL TRY MY BEST. :eek:

    :eek:

    Ummm... dammit.... am I right about the Crow/Raven????

    If so..... it's got something to do w/ R and N and the HMS Raven, because she was the pride of the British fleet for a long time during the colonization of the U.S.

    .... so..... RN..... RN........ (literally typing to brainstorm...)

    ROYAL NAVY!!!

    ROYAL NAVY ROFLMAO

    THE HMS RAVEN was the pride of the ISLE

    ISLE = England!!! MUA HA HA HA HA

    the ship has nothing to do with it, it's just royal navy



    Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
    It shall not end until my death.
    I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.
    I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
    I shall live and die at my post.
    I am the sword in the darkness.
    I am the watcher on the walls.
    I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
    What am I?



    rules as per usual, 200 minerals




    What is the longest word int he english language?

    rules as per usual, 150 minerals

    I just don't get the father no children, etc.... Why do they need vows like those? In case they're killed?
