What's Cupid Got to Do with It?

According to Roman mythology, Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Cupid was known to cause people to fall in love by shooting them with his magical arrows. But Cupid didn't just cause others to fall in love - he himself fell deeply in love.

As legend has it, Cupid fell in love with a mortal maiden named Psyche. Cupid married Psyche, but Venus, jealous of Psyche's beauty, forbade her daughter-in-law to look at Cupid. Psyche, of course, couldn't resist temptation and sneaked a peek at her handsome husband. As punishment, Venus demanded that she perform three hard tasks, the last of which caused Psyche's death.

Cupid brought Psyche back to life and the gods, moved by their love, granted Pysche immortality. Cupid thus represents the heart and Psyche the (struggles of the) human soul.

Tiananmen Square and Google

Just a short post on the Google/China discussion. Here are two serach links for Tainanmen Square showing the US version and the Chinese version.

Search Tiananmen at Google Images:

Now search Tiananmen at Google China:

http://images.google.cn/images?q=tiananmen

Google's slogan "Do No Evil" seems inappropriate since they sold-out to appease China's government.
