a few weeks ago, i happened to glance inside the lid of a bottle of beer i'd opened (<homer>mmmm, tiger beer</homer>) and i saw printed there the number "42". The answer to lif, the universe, and everything in a bottle of beer. however, i though nothing of it, and put it on my "stuff pile" (ie. desk)
yesterday, in the lid of a another bottle of the same brand, i found the number "17" (one of the discordian holy numbers, along with 5 and 23 - 1+7=8, 8=2^3, 2+3=5 therefore 17 is in keeping with the law of fives and is holy)


am i getting messages from the goddess (hopefully ones like "drink more beer") or am i just reading too much into a simple stock labeling scheme wherever the tiger beer factory is?

You see, THEY put the numbers there to convince you of devine intervention... That way you would think the hevans want you to drink more beer, then when you get drunk and passout THEY will put three strange marks on your arm, and then THEY will steal secrets from your head -- unless you wear your tin-foil hat.
Be warned, we haven't heard from Nayt in while, and most of us thing THEY got to him.

WE did put the numbers there, but not for exactly those reasons, but if YOU should want to assume so WE will not tell you different.
WE have already put the marks on your arms, and tinfoil is not a block against our mind reading capabilities, however, most of you still think that it does, so go ahead, WE will not tell you any different.
WE know of Nayt, and where he is. when the time is right WE may let him out (or release him from where WE have him, or some other idea you may have [WE won't tell you different])

The simple explaination is the W'rkncacnter are those things that live in chaos, creating it around them. Setting one free in ordered space is difficult and insane.
-------------------- When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.

Doesn't it say somewhere in the books that all things can be shown to obey the Law Of Fives ... if you try hard enough ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
