Hi guys! Help me solve this mystery.

In my "discordian" google alerts for the day, I noticed a website just went up:

http://www.discordian.net


There's nothing there, except a cool image (above), and the phrase "VUGA VULET SAGA SHAN ISA GO!"

I am intrigued. I want to find out what this website is and what that phrase means.


When I googled that phrase, it only pointed at this page, which has little other information. If you look through the history of that page, you find that it was created in 2003, and the only text on the page read

"VUGA VULET SAGA SHAN ISA GO! Spirit of the Sky, Remember!"


the phrase "spirit of the sky, remember!" is from the Simon Necronomicon.


Does that VUGA VULET sentence sound familiar to anybody? Does anybody have any ideas?

VUGA VULEZ SAGA SHAN ISA GO!

is from a KLF song featuring Tammy Wynette, called Justified and Ancient.

All bound for mu mu land

Hey hey



They are justified and they are ancient

And they like to room the land

- Just roll it from the top -

They are justified and they are ancient

I hope you understand

- To the bridge to the bridge to the bridge now -

They didn't want to upset the applecar

They don't want to cause any harm

But if you don't like what's they're going to do

You'd better not stop them 'cos they're coming through



Bring the beat back



All bound for mu mu land

Hey hey



They are justified and they are ancient

And they drive an ice cream van

- Just roll it from the top -

They are justified and they are ancient

With still no master plan

- To the bridge to the bridge to the bridge now -

The last train left an hour ago

They were singing "all aboard"

All bound for mu mu land

Then someone started screaming

"Turn up the strobe"



Bring the beat back All bound for mu mu land

Hey hey Rocking to the rhythm in the ice cream van

With the plan and the key to enter in to mu mu

Vibes from the tribes of the jams

I know where the p.d's at

'Cos i know what time it is

Threes on the dial

Make mine a 99

New style, meanwhile



Fishing in the rivers of life (hoi!)

Vuga vulez, saga shan isa go
"At first I lifted weights.  But then I asked myself, 'why not people?'  Now everyone runs for the fjord when they see me."

Ah! The KLF - that's cool! But what's it meeeeean?

LMNO

Exactly what it says, of course.

EK WAFFLR

I'll go with what LMNO said. Probably some sort of house glossolalia.
"At first I lifted weights.  But then I asked myself, 'why not people?'  Now everyone runs for the fjord when they see me."

Vuga means talk in some African language.

Vulez is French, but not sure for what.  Possibly a slang version of Vouloir?  Not sure.

Saga is of course "story" or tale in Norse.

Shan is a trickier one.  Could be Gaelic for "old and wise", or Chinese for "mountain", or "pride" in Hindi.

Isa is the Arabic name for Jesus, but could also mean iron in Teutonic, or rainbow in Chamorro.

And go obviously means start.

Shit, I didn't even think about checking different languages. 
However, vulez isn't a french word. Could be a misspelling/corruption of voulez (want)

I've seen it on sites where they're writing in French.  I'm fairly sure it's a slang spelling for voulez.

Xooxe

"VUGA VULEZ SAGA SHAN ISA GO!" is an anagram of "A VAGINA SAVAGES GUSH LOUT!".

It's clearly about vagina dentata.

LMNO

So...


"Talk want story old and wise mountain pride Jesus iron rainbow go."


In other words, "Tell us a tale of the ancient peaks, and how Christ smashed the Bifrost."

There's an mp3 playing on the site. Very quietly, I didn't notice it until I looked at the page source and turned my speakers up.
It's a creepy ambient sort of thing called hipnaural.mp3

And the logo looks like it was borrowed from the Dharma Initiative in Lost.


There's also a little logo that comes up next to my address bar:

hm? I don't recognise it.
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

OFUK, IT'S HAPPENING, WE'RE DOOMED!!

Well, that was fun.

This site was build with Net Objects Fusion, I can't confirm that the hm thing is their default favicon (tineye doesn't love me) but the css files reference all kinds of NOF things that aren't on the site at all. It's possible there was a nof site on there that they nuked and replaced with this and didn't realize that the css files could go, too, since the site is nothing but tables, two images, and some in-line css at this point.

The image is based on the Bagua


Which is of course where the Lost people got it from, no way of knowing which ones our friends at dnet were borrowing from

AFK

Well, if the logo was created when the page went online then it wouldn't be from the Dharma logo as LOST didn't premiere until late 2004.  I'd wager each were borrowing from the Bagua.
