Genetically, Paedophiles have more in common with crabs than they do with you and me.
Now, that's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it's a scientific fact.
crab (Latin cancer, Greek carcinus)
Thiscrustacean, because of its backward movement, was widely thought of as a bringer of misfortune, but it was also used in magical RAIN ceremonies.
In Christ ian symbology the crab, because of its shedding of its shell, came to refer to the "casting off of the old ADAM" and resurrection from the confines of the grave.
A sea animal, the crab symbolizes great flooding.
In the ancient world it was thought of as an enemy of SNAKES, which were thought to feel pain when the SUN was in Cancer; simil arly, it was written that DEER ate crabs as an antidote to snakebite and that it was possible to protect seed from parasites by sprinkling it with water which had contained crabs for more than a week.
The fourth sign of the zodiac is named for the constellation Cancer.
The sun is in Cancer between June 23 and July 22; Cancer is a water sign, and "feminine."
Cancer is the house of the MOON, and thus its metal is SILVER.
Astrologers associate with Cancer pregnancy, imprisonment, baptism and rebirth, the awakening of consciousness, and a tendency to prefer seclusion.
Hippocrates (ca. 460-370 B. C.), for reasons which he did not make explicit (but perhaps in reference to a demon of disease popularly believed to take on animal form), used the word for "crab" to designate tumors, and this is the source of our word "cancer."
According to Greek myth, a crab sought to impede Hercules as he fought the Hydra of Lerna, a NINE-headed snake-monster; the crab pinched Hercules in the heel and was swiftly crushed by him, but the crab was transported into the heavens (becoming the constellation Cancer) in recognition of its
bravery in the face of death.
