♦I'm sure that's it (M)♦I remember reading in world history that we got the English word 'cereal' from Ceres. It's perfect!

Robert: "It's not a cult, Ma, it's just a bunch of people who care about me, who want to see me happy!"
Marie: "You have that here, you stupid a*s!"

I bet that's it.Because we've got a beer brand called Ceres in Denmark, and that we pronounce as SEER-ees. Or SEE-res.Sad that I have come to associate Ceres with a brand of beer... It is very lovely.{Edit: Had to edit/delete a word out.}

That makes senseConsidering Ceres was the Roman goddess of the grain, and namesake of the word "cereal".
