Yeah I think I would have to agree...I don't know what all the other shit means but mortis...mortify...mortification. I found 3 different definitions........or 3 categories o_O

1. To cause to experience shame, humiliation, or wounded pride; humiliate.
2. To discipline (one's body and physical appetites) by self-denial or self-inflicted privation.
v.intr.
1. To practice ascetic discipline or self-denial of the body and its appetites.
2. Pathology To undergo mortification; become gangrenous or necrosed.



1. (tr) to humiliate or cause to feel shame
2. (Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) (tr) Christianity to subdue and bring under control by self-denial, disciplinary exercises, etc.
3. (Medicine / Pathology) (intr) to undergo tissue death or become gangrenous
[via Old French from Church Latin mortificāre to put to death, from Latin mors death + facere to do]

mortify - From Latin, meaning "kill or subdue the flesh," it originally meant "to kill," then "to destroy the vitality or vigor of," before it took on its present meaning.
See also related terms for subdue.

This is the definition I was referring to. I think the Egyptians used this word and turned it into Mummify. (Don't quote me on that, just a theory/idea.)

It looks like something from the Necronomicon honestly.

And no.  I'm not joking.

have you ever read the necronomicon?

Quote (piddywiffle @ Mar 15 2012 10:00pm)

It's been awhile, but yes.

I actually still own a copy of it.

no you dont. necronomicon is a fictional book. and yes i know there have been fakes made to take advantage of publicity and shit.

H.P. Lovecraft.  I'm aware of it's tentative origins, but that doesn't detract from a book being written and circulated in its wake.

Nothing fake about that.

guess i can just write a book called "The Bible" and there will be nothing fake about it.

I'm sorry.

Did I state that the words written in the Necronomicon were real and that they had to be followed?

All I did was say that it looked like something that was written in the Necronomicon and you decided to be hellbent on disputing that.

Why you decided to go that route is beyond me because, frankly, it's pointless =/

cant read a book that doesnt exist.

Quote (piddywiffle @ Mar 15 2012 11:05pm)

I am holding in my hands a book entitled The Necronomicon.

Based off of this, I'm going to call shenanigans on your statement.
