Myths and Legends of the World

Happy Earth Day everyone I want to introduce to you a great and feared Earth Mother: Cybele (Kybele) During the first millennium, B.C.E., or possibly even as early as the Paleolithic period, the worship of the Great Mother Goddess, Cybele, began. Cybele was originally worshipped in the form of a black meteorite, by the inhabitants of Phrygia, Lydia and the surrounding mountainous areas, which were located in the western part of the region that is now known as Turkey. This area is one of great historical significance, with the Plains of Illium, and the ancient city of Troy, lying slightly to the west.

Doctors examining the man say that apparently the effects on straight men are just the opposite of gay men so that the drug cures gay men of their gay urges but when used in straight men it has the opposite effect on them and cause them to become absolutely gay. A Research scientist at Chimerex who declined to give his name said, "I guess it's back to the drawing board."  When we developed this drug we did not bother to test it on straight men because we felt there was no need to. Apparently like many drugs discovered that have different uses than originally intended like Viagra (which was originally developed as a heart drug but found to increase libido in men and women), as it is used by different types of patien...
