Also, the PKD BIP is a bit different than our BIP.  But that's party because Dick was really into the death of Christ and the persecution of the Romans.

But the plasmate (Seed, as I call it) is really the best way to melt the bars.  It will kill a being for 3 minutes (no heartbeat, brain activity, lung activity) during which their spirit/soul will travel to the extradimensional realm (heaven/nirvana/eden/oversoul) and exist with all of those whose names are written in the Book of Life (vast majority of humanity, as well as non-humanity).

After Christ's followers (and the Roman soldiers who converted) took his body into the desert and set him down into the cave, the original Christians ate a small piece of his dried blood and flesh.  They also played games, smoked herb (as the Coptic Christians still do).  These joints were stored in a pack of Pall Mall cigarettes, which is why Phil had visions when he saw a pack of "In Hoc Signo Vinces" during one of his stays in a psychological dungeon.

The smoke pouring out of Jesus' tomb was the smoke from burned breastplates, Down comforters, Dominoes pizza boxes,  plastic water bottles, polyhedral dice, etc.

Yeah, he uses it throughout VALIS and his 2000+ page Exegesis.  It's where the phrase originated.

Phil thought a Russian satellite, when it was actually beamed at him from an extragalactic source.  Raylene and the gang tried to convince him it was just a bunch of kids messing around with a Radio Shack kit.

Check this out for a quick version of the story:

The VALIS device is capable of generating any type of particle (photons, neutrinos, tachyons, etc.).

We are all living in Phil's world now.

I beamed the VALIS info to Phil once, long ago, with the tachyon beam in my "Crypt of the Roma".
Do you truly believe that???

The sleeper must awaken.

I am not an artist.
I am a soldier.
Prepare for war.

How 'bout a warrior-poet?

But, yeah, if those fuckers want Armageddon--that's what they'll get.  The Messiah, Mahdi, Riz Jeez or whomever he's called in Daoism, Hinduism, Voodoo, ad infinitum.

Hey Cain, you turn up anything on Gypsies smuggling people out of the Balkans during your research?

Yeah, I saw honey ants in a wilderness survival manual years ago.  Those Witchetty grubs look more my style, though abdomen-honey must be pretty good.

Damn Aussies get all the good bugs.

 

Amazing!

Do you have any favorite insects or insect dishes?  I'm looking to broaden my palate.

Interesting Kosher fact of the day:
Grasshoppers and a certain species of locust in Yemen are the only species of insect that are not treif.

"Ploetzlich regnete es Kuehe vom Himmel,Äù (Cows Raining from the Sky)

In the Ochotskische sea near the Sachalin island a cow fell from the sky and sank a Japanese fishing boat on impact. This was stated in a confidential report from the German embassy in Moscow to the "Auswaertiges Amt" (German State Department). This event was given as one of many examples of the desolate state of security in Russian air traffic. According to this report, Russian soldiers had stolen a herd of cattle and wanted to remove them in a transport aircraft - a kind of theft not uncommon in Siberia. However, the soldiers failed to tie up the animals. When the cows got nervous and began to move, the plane became unstable as well. The Iljuschin was so hard to control that the pilot feared to crash and ordered the crew to open the tailboard and to chase the cattle (25 to 30 animals) out of the plane from an altitude of about 8000 meters. Accidentally, one of the cows fell onto a wooden Japanese fishing boat that could not bear the impact and sunk. Though the fishers were rescued some hours later by a Russian patrol boat, they were arrested because their story was not believed. Russian authorities then checked their statements and found that they were true. The pilot was able to make an emergency landing with open tailboard."

This happened back in April of '97.  Mark your calender for the ten-year anniversary.

Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov. The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds. The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures,Äô head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch was weighing almost 100 kilograms, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.
   
However, ufologists and scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

Chairman of the Anomalous Phenomena Service, Andrei Gorodovoi, stated that the creature, which he could see on the short video, was an anomalous being. However, it could hardly be described as an extraterrestrial form of life, he added. Gorodovoi rejected the version about mermaids too. ,ÄúThere are many legends about mermaids living in the Sea of Azov. Nevertheless, specialists of the Service for Anomalous Phenomena have never confirmed those fairytales. On the other hand, we do not deny the possibility of other forms of life in the Sea of Azov,,Äù the ufologist sad.

A spokesman for the Rostov-based zoo, Alexander Lipkovich, contacted local ichthyologists and asked their opinion about the Azov alien. ,ÄúThey said that the fish bears resemblance to a sturgeon. It was an extremely interesting individual. I have never seen anything like this before in my whole life,,Äù the specialist said.

Unanimous praise for for a fantastic rant!

I'm just reading these SA articles on the place 

Check out the "The Bushmen of Bukka".  Looks like they've fighting against furries for generations




People have built and scripted ICBMs and Spacecraft within the game.  Of course, these cost realmoney.

When I first found SecondLife Safari, I was thinking something low-cost such as getting a bunch of free accounts and do some kind of flash mob in part of the game.

This should be required reading for anyone considering wasting time/money on this game.

When the blog circuit started drooling all over SL several months ago I checked it out and was unimpressed.

Read up on the protest against the French "Front National" political party or the pranking of Anshe Chung.  These techniques could be adapted for HIMEOBS operations in SL.
