    The pentagram occurs in a host of religions, from bahai faith, Freemasonry - to the Church of the latter day saints. I think the word is greek, in origin - the symbol has been adopted (or hijacked) by many organisations.

    But Joseph is still very evil.

    The pentagram itself isn't a satanic symbol. More Wiccan than anything else. The Church of Satan stole it and stuck a goats head inside.

    Joseph isn't evil. He only punched me twice and stole my wallet when we met. I consider that kind of meeting from someone from eastern PA to be quite pleasant. [emoji14]

    What about coffee? I'm spending wayyy too much at 2 bucks a cup. Do you recommend a 12v or a household model? I have 1200w inverter.

    At first. But it pays for itself in time. Everything that costs a little bit is worth it and pays for itself. A GPS is expensive, but we buy them because it pays for itself (unless you're a moron and follow it like its a God). Don't worry about the upfront costs. Think about the cash you save because of the initial investment.

    The 5 cupper I bought at Walmart for $20 draws less than 600W and makes just the right amount to fill a 24 oz coffee mug. The ads on line never have power ratings in them. In the store, it was most often printed on the bottom of the box for some reason (versus on a side panel with the rest of the features).
