I'd say. I don't think "omnipotent & omnipresent" inherent to the meaning of the word "divine," but they seem to be pretty common attributes.

Even in polytheistic religions?

?I'm not a super fan of the stretchy faux-leather,

I was wondering if they'd be stretchy enough to fit over my legs. But then I remembered, I'm not really buying new shoes or clothes. So then I stopped looking.

Skipping the divine discussion to address this:

Any creative ideas for finding house cleaning service employee candidates?

Has she tried stopping by a local immigrant organization in her town? I know that here in Chicago, there are Polish/Russian/Hispanic women who don't know English yet who are willing to work for cleaning services until they get acclimated, learn some English, and get a better-paying job.

Not exactly. I was thinking more in terms of actual worship, rather than everyday life. I'm really only coming at it from a western Christian perspective, where worship takes place in a church, but the God is everywhere. I was wondering if sometimes (say in polytheistic religions) the God(s) are entirely associated with one place, and not thought to be present away from there.

I thought Jars was approaching it from a Western perspective--which is why I was thinking more along the lines of the O&O Judeo-Christian thought, rather than an Eastern or Polytheistic approach. I do understand that there are gods in other cultures which are confined to specific locals but it doesn't seem to be because humans put them there or defined their space.

I kind of want a burrito, but I don't really want to drive the distance to get it.

If an omnipotent and omniscient deity could give me a burrito, that would be great.

In re limitations on the divine - as far as I know, most of the contemporary major religions - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism - don't. I know that in antiquity (Roman, Greek, Egyptian) a number of deities were linked to specific functions and places. The Greeks had a lot of site-specific minor deities who were linked to a spring or shrine.

Awesomest paper airplane evah! Origami spaceplane to launch from space station

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have teamed up with members of the Japan Origami Airplane Association to develop a paper aircraft capable of surviving the flight from the International Space Station to the Earth’s surface.

...

A large spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle can reach speeds of up to Mach 20 (over 15,200 mph) when it re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere, and friction with the air heats the outer surface to extreme temperatures. The much lighter origami aircraft, which the researchers claim will come down more slowly, is not expected to burn up on re-entry.

I ended up with BK, because it's cold and I didn't want to go outside, and also french fries NOM NOM NOM.

Why eat fries when you can have CHEESY TOTS?

You know what I've learned? I'm always disturbed when people read Vampire People and just HATE me as a person. I know I should get over it/learn to process it differently. Everytime I stumble across someone who just thinks I'm a complete asshole, I'm always so weirded out.
