I'd volunteer to compile this, if no one else is particularly
interested, and there isn't already one... I love words and the
evolution of language. 

It's terrible, at least three of my friends have picked up saying
schnoogles from me already. Al? You're succeeding marvelously in your
quest (not to mention ToT... review later.)

I know, I know, this post is short. Question: Has the list discussed
snakes as a symbol for immortality? I ran into a reference to snakes
as the symbol of the Sacred King of the ancient Greek matriarchal
society, who were given the gift of immortality after they were eaten
by the reigning Priestess. Sounds a lot like the death eaters to me.
