According to Greek mythology, this is how people were first created. Plato stated that we now spend our lives in search of the other half.

    Sorry, but the romantic in me LOVES this.

    I dunno, blame it on Hollywood, per that list that RunIntheMud posted earlier today. :)

    I love this! There is a song, The Origin of Love, from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (culty play/movie about a transgendered rock star from E Germany) that tells this story with some really similar animation scenes. Love.

    Aww, that is sweet-and I love the idea behind it...must now Google Plato since I haven't studied him too much.

    Would have been perfect if they threw a computer in the picture showing blue person doing some online dating.

    It's cute, but Plato also thought it was cool to marry brothers to sisters in order to create philosopher kings (inbreeding bad, inbreeding make crazy, sick children with bad teeth and no chins who bleed a lot, mmkay?).

    He also wanted a state breeding program, including state-mandated disposal of 'unfit' children. So he wasn't exactly a romantic.


    I'm obviously half geek shaped, where is my other half?

    Mara, I should hope that it's obvious that I just thought the picture was cute and the little story explained the artists inspiration. I made no observations about Plato and even went out of my way to say I don't agree with the mentality behind pic, just that it's sweet.

    It is sweet. I just can't help but go all history geek on it.

    I, for one, love that kind of stuff. As long as it's concise enough (as was your post) for me to read quickly between meetings ;-)

    But then, I also don't believe in soul mates

    It makes me think of a lock and key party where the guys get the locks and the girls have the keys and you have to go around trying to find the matching lock for the key.
