spot:
According to a website about Smoker Stover (a fireman), it first appeared in 1935 in the Chicago Tribune. It was a zaney cartoon and Smokey's "two wheeled" firetruck had the name "FOO" placed attop the grillwork on the front above the radiator grid. The use of the term "FOO" caught on in popular usage for things zaney. It appeared on menus, lists, and the "lips" of different characters in the strip at random but frequent intervals. It was just a part of "popular" culture.
A pilot in a private airplane flying over the mountains in Washington state first used the term Flying Saucer recorded in his official account of his siting and it just caught on, like FOO did.
The author of the Smokey strip said he first found the word inscribed on the bottom of a Chinese figurine.

Handling his statue was for centuries the only known remedy for the clap (or "Saint Elmo's fire" as it was known in those days), until the mercury treatment came along around 1860.You're kidding, right? St. Elmo is the patron saint of sailors and St. Elmo's fire is ball lightning.
There is a section of Chattanooga, Tennessee named St. Elmo, and from there you can take a cable incline to the top of Lookout Mountain. Highly recommended.

Just some YADA;
Have any of you ever seen the classic movie, "Moby Dick" starring Gregory Peck as Capt. Ahab? There is a scene where their ship's masts and arms are covered in an ethreal (sp?) glow and someone states about it being St. Elmo's Fire. The glowing "plasma" (?) is even transferred to a harpoon being held up by a sailor.
Was that a correct depiction?

think more deeply about that, than names and dates...It seems to me that this is finally a fruitful way for us to come to some mutual comprehension.
No, I can't imagine any cycle forever turning. It goes completely against every single thing I ever learned in all of my education, and everything I ever experienced. The word "Carnot" springs to mind in this context.
Would you like to give an example of where I could observe or experience such a cycle?

What do you mean by a flood anyway, if we're going to get involved in "proof"? A local event over a few hundred square miles? A continent? The planet? What gets me about this sort of "There is proof, you have to look for it" is the utter vagueness of the words, the lack of definition, the unwillingness to cite available sources, the lack of any transfer of information. What's the point of your saying something in so cryptic a fashion? Why the hell do I have to try so hard to dig anything out of you, when I don't believe there's anything to dig in the first place?

We keep seeing it, I don't know what "deep" means in your particular vocabulary. Saint Paul used it as a technical term. If, on the other hand, by deep you mean analytical, then let's head for the bottom, I can do analytical so long as I have some facts to analyse. I ask you for information, I get no facts. You ask me questions and they're suggestive of immense spiritual understanding but allow no meaningful response on my part. I think you use it as a formula to avoid specifics.
Rather than ignore it, how about you produce a single sensible non-enigmatic answer to:

I have looked myself. I can find stories of world floods, I can find stories of continental floods, I can find stories of local floods - how can I guess which you mean? The data is out there, I can see all three sets, I have no idea which is in your mind.
When you instance "the flood" as an example of a cyclical event, do you mean a local flood, a continental scale flood or a world scale flood? All of them? None of them?

It's a safe bet that if I ask a question it's that I don't know the answer and I'm seeking clarification.
