Mene
The moonfish of the genus ''Mene'', the sole extant genus of the family Menidae, are disk-shaped fish which bear a vague resemblance to gourami, thanks to their thread-like pelvic fins. Today, the genus is represented only by ''Mene maculata'' of the Indo-Pacific, where it is a popular food fish, especially in the Philippines, where it is known as ''bilong-bilong'', ''chabita'', ''hiwas'' or ''tahas''. Taxonomy Anatomical and recent molecular studies strongly suggest a relationship with the pomfrets, dolphinfishes, remoras and the Carangidae, jacks in the Order (biology), order Carangiformes. Fossil record As a genus, ''Mene'' has a long fossil history, with species found in marine sediments throughout the Cenozoic Era.Matt Friedman, and G. David Johnson. “A New Species of Mene (Perciformes: Menidae) from the Paleocene of South America, with Notes on Paleoenvironment and a Brief Review of Menid Fishes.” Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, vol. 25, no. 4, 2005, pp. 770� ...

Mene (goddess)
Mene (, ), in ancient Greek religion and mythology, is an epithet of Selene, the Greek lunar goddess as a goddess presiding over the months. Etymology The Greek word (''mēnē'') means both the Moon and the lunar month.Athanassakis and Wolkow, pp90, on lines 1–2 It represents the feminine form of the older masculine noun (''mēn''), which in turn derives from the oblique stem of the Indo-European word ''*meh₁nōt'' ("moon; month").' The name of the Phrygian moon-god Men derives from the same word''.'' Further cognates include "Moon" and "Máni." William Smith writes of Mene as "a goddess presiding over the months".Smith, s.v"Mene"/ref> Apostolos Athanassakis and Benjamin Wolkow speculate that Selene's name, which is derived from the word (''selas,'' "light") and thus means "luminous one", might have originally developed as a euphemism, before becoming the Moon and its goddess's proper name.

Belshazzar's Feast
Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall, chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel, tells how Neo-Babylonian royal Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they cannot read the writing. The queen advises him to send for Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father, Nebuchadnezzar, when he became arrogant, was thrown down until he learned that God has sovereignty over the kingdom of men (see Daniel 4). Belshazzar had likewise blasphemed God, and so God sent this hand. Daniel then reads the message and interprets it: God has numbered Belshazzar's days, he has been weighed and found wanting, and his kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persians. The message of Daniel 5 is the contrast it offers between Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar: * Nebuchadnezzar is humbled by God ...
