Dear sonofgloin,

I don't know why you are knocking nicknamenick for seeming at bit odd. He seems to be on exactly the same level as you.

Garuda eagle is the mount (vahana) of the Lord Vishnu. The Trimurti system has Brahma as the creator, Vishnu as the maintainer or preserver, and Shiva as the transformer or destroyer.

Garuda is the Hindu name for the constellation Aquila.
Garuda's wings are said to have a span of many miles and when a Garuda's wings flap, they create hurricane-like winds that darken the sky and blow down houses.They are also capable of tearing up entire banyan trees from their roots and carrying them off.

In Bali, we can find the tallest Garuda statue of 18 metres tall made from tons of copper and brass. The statue is located in Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex. Garuda Indonesia is the flag carrier of Indonesia.

Bunjil the eagle (or eaglehawk) is a creator deity in Victoria.
Crow opened a bag in which he kept his whirlwinds, creating a cyclone which uprooted trees. Bunjil and his people were blown upwards into the sky. Bunjil himself became the star Altair in the constellation Aquila and his two wives, the black swans, became stars on either side.
Eagle is a 23-metre tall sculpture in Melbourne by Bruce Armstrong, inspired by Bunjil.

Mr O, stop it please, this erudite piece of wit along with your repetitive witticism about engineers cause my sides to split.....

Jupiter and his eagle of military power is seen in Garuda eagle.

Throughout the Mahabharata, Garuda is invoked as a symbol of impetuous violent force, of speed, and of martial prowess. Powerful warriors advancing rapidly on doomed foes are likened to Garuda swooping down on a serpent.Defeated warriors are like snakes beaten down by Garuda. The field marshal Drona uses a military formation named after Garuda. Krishna even carries the image of Garuda on his banner.

Indonesian Armed Forces United Nations peacekeeping missions is known as Pasukan Garuda or Garuda Contingent. .

Garuda's father was the creator-rishi Kasyapa. He had two wives, . Both laid eggs,, the hatching of two eggs of Vinata did not take place for a long time. Impatient, Vinata broke open one egg, which was half formed with the upper half only as a human and was thus deformed. , when Garuda first burst forth from his egg, he appeared as a raging inferno .. Frightened, the gods begged him for mercy. Garuda, hearing their plea, reduced himself in size and energy.

Bunjil rose into the sky and became a star.
There was a huge, ferocious emu called Tchingal. . He was hatching an enormous egg. Waa the crow decided to have a peck at the egg. He was pecking away quite happily when Tchingal returned..
..all the people travelled to collect his egg. It was so big
and heavy that no one could lift it until Babimbal the Wattlebird came along. He was very strong and managed to carry the egg to Horsham, . Babimbal had the honour of dishing it out, and in so doing he splashed himself with some of the yolk, creating the wattles on the side of his head. Before leaving, the Bram-bram-bult ordered the two emus to divide their large egg into several smaller ones in future, so they wouldn’t be as jealous of their one egg as Tchingal had been. In this way they hoped to keep the peace.

Well, at least it's interesting in a fun sort of way. eh. It's about time we all had a bit of a giggle. Life's to short to be overly serious all the time.
