I don't think I'd ever really considered why Lana named her company The Isis Foundation until today. Greg was asking who Isis was in realtion to Egyptian mythology and I came across this

Isis is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and is celebrated in their mythology as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature and magic; friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.

Yup, that sounds like pretty much how The Goughlar has portrayed Lana for the last seven years. I'm really not looking forward to her coming back in Season 8

Hubby and were watching some documentaries on The Davinci Code last week and they referenced Isis as well. I swear EVERYTHING connects to SV.

That's because Lana is the centre of the universe ;)

Every time I look at your new header - all I can think, for some reason is "I'm going to eat you little fishy, I'm going to eat you little fish - I'm going to eat you little fishy"

So proof, Lana break's people's heads - and it doesn't take magic.

Because Scotty Doesn't Know

Yup, AlMiles freakin worshiped her.
*shudders*
I'm really not looking too forward to it either. I am however looking forward to Clark or Lois standing up to her *hopes* and her supposedly being more mature. I just dont think she needs 5 episodes :/

Oh, is it only 5 episodes? I thought it was 8

She's coming back? Please tell me that it's for a freakish Halloween ep or something if it's true.

I'm going to be really mean about this...Here goes!

Do you really think Lana did all that research to come up with that name?

When I heard the name, the first thing I thought of was "Why is it named after one of Catwoman's cats?"

She's coming back for 5 episodes aparrently

Of course Lana didn't do the reasearch but I bet the writers were told to come up with a suitable name that reflected Lana's personality

*tries to choke down lengthy post on Egyptian mythology*

I've actually never been able to figure out WTF SV thinks it's doing with Egypt. The Talon was decorated with badly-painted Egyptian gods on the columns for no good reason, and then Lex found one of the three crystals in that horrifically fake-looking statue that I can only assume was supposed to be an Egyptian god, and now there's the Isis Foundation. Mostly the impression I got was that Al!Miles thought, "Hey! Egypt stuff looks cool!" and the thought process didn't go any further.

Needless to say, it makes me want to slap a couple of bitch ex-showrunners. :P

Hee!!! I never thought about the other Egyptian stuff actually. Hmm...

I always wondered what the deal was with the Talon decor
