Welcome to Gaia! ::

What's the capital of Syria?
-Damascus, as in Damascus Armor. Damascus steel is famous for its strength and flexibility.

What was Paul McCartney's band after the Beatles?
-Wings! There are quite a few wings involved in the Goddess set.

How can you hold a bunch of stuff when you've only got two hands?
-Get more arms, of course! Isn't it obvious? The Goddess set includes a pose that allows you to emulate Durga's many arms.

What's that big thing they use at construction sites that's kinda the opposite of a wrecking ball? -
-It's a crane! The Goddess set includes a gorgeous flock of cranes that swoops around your avatar.

What do you call the female version of a mixed-up dog?
-If you mix up the letters in "dog," you get "god," and the female version of that is "goddess."

What's the best possible thing a person can get on Valentine's Day? (Hey! Keep your mind out of the gutter!)
A date! We're offering you a digital date with Gaia's hottest celebrities, just in time for Valentine's Day (by "just in time" I mean "one day late"). Ideally, a date in real life would be way better, but we're not wizards.

What's a verb that could describe the act of eating a dozen cheeseburgers in a single sitting? (Don't worry... this one has nothing to do with Valentine's Day.)
Scarf! As in "to scarf." You'll notice that one of the Celestial Wrap's poses is a scarf. You'll also notice that you've got a ketchup stain on your bib.

What do Beck, Suede, the Grateful Dead and Crosby Stills & Nash have in common (aside from the obvious)?
They all have songs called "Dark Star." Hey, one of the items is a Dark Star! Coincidence!? Yes. For reference, the Suede song, "My Dark Star," is the best one.

What's something that's all around you, even though you usually think of it as being above you?
Space! The cosmos! The vaulted expanse of the heavens! The brave o'erhanging firmament! One of the items is the Celestial Wrap, which is quite spacey.

What kind of a person is so cool that even Vanilla Ice couldn't diminish their awesomeness?
A ninja! Even after Vanilla's extremely embarrassing "Ninja Rap!" turn in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, ninjas did not fade from popularity. Or from awesomeness.

I don't know if they were the third-best hair metal band (after Motley Crue and Skid Row) or the third-worst (after Winger and Stryper), but one thing is for sure: they sucked.

Poison! Sorry for reminding you of their existence, but perhaps you'll forgive me when you see how cool the Poison Hair is. Please note that the Poison Hair is in no way affiliated with the band Poison (thank goodness).


Speaking of hair metal, who can forget Schoenberg's best-loved atonal 1912 song cycle?

That would be Pierrot Lunaire, which sounds kind of like an orchestra falling down a flight of stairs and landing on a cat. This is a reference to the Lunair hairstyle.

They used to hang out with snowmen, back in 1985.

Falcons, as in the Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton vehicle "The Falcon and the Snowman," about two drug dealers who sold secrets to the Russians, or something. I don't know, I saw it a long time ago.Whatever.

Gun. Goose. Finger. Standard. Ratio. Goblet. Records.

They can all be GOLD! "The Man with the Golden Gun," "Goldfinger," a golden goose, the gold standard, the golden ratio, "The Golden Goblet," gold records.


A famous malt liquor enthusiast lost one in a bet a long time ago.

That would be Colt 45 spokesman Billy Dee Williams, who lost the Millennium Falcon in a bet with Han Solo in a galaxy far, far away.
