Every time he is hit in the head, Hal pays tribute to this god by offering the rotting meatloaf he calls a brain as a sacrifice to him. If it is accepted, we get a seven year run of Green Lantern in which every panel shows Hal being hit in the head; if it is not accepted, we get seven years of Hal Jordan/Mogo/Ch'p fanfiction on all Green Lantern fansites. Fortunately, the Egyptian gods love to see Hal get hit in the head too much to let that happen (I hope).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1142236856281526762006-03-13T03:00:00.000-05:002006-03-13T03:00:00.000-05:00In the native Filipino language of Tagalog, "nga" ...In the native Filipino language of Tagalog, "nga" is actually a very common word. Now, most people would object to starting off a word with the letter N immediately followed by a G, but we're Pacific Islanders and that's how we roll.<BR/><BR/>In the case of Nga, it's pronounced "nung-uh."
