What Mythological Creature are You? Quiz

Here is some fun... very Harry Potter, I am. I am a sucker for quizzes, but this one is interesting, I think. I wonder if we will see the guys run into any more fantasy-based folk creatures, like a centaur. I doubt it, but could make some bizarre fanfic, if I were into that kind of thing.

You Are a Centaur

In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person.
However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways.
You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order.
You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily.

Yeah ODEO!!

Hey guys,

I am just about done with this week's episode review.

I am trying out a new service called Odeo, where you can leave me audio comments, and I can put them in the next show. If you have some great insight, comments, predictions or whatever else, you can leave me a voice comment. It's free, and all you need is a microphone attached to your computer.

Intro to Supernatural the Series Podcast

I searched the iTunes Music Store Podcast directory in hopes of finding a podcast devoted to WB's series Supernatural, but did not find anything. So, I decided to start my own. I hope to post a new podcast with my review and discussion after each new episode. Hopefully, I will receive listener feedback which I can incorporate into each podcast. I am sure there are other fans of the series out there...
