Typo in the PD?

[Pinko]

The first asked the second who the man was sitting there was.

That's on page 00005 of the PD, and I'm not sure if it was meant to be there, if it's a typo, or if no one even really cares and that's part of what makes the PD special. 

Just thought I'd bring some attention to it.

The Principia Discordia , meaning "The Principles of Strife", deviates from correct Latin which would read Principia Discordiæ.

There's a typo on the cover.

one can pretty much assume that will be more inside.

No, it's a sentence that's been condensed and therefore sounds a little funny.

A clearer phrasing would be:

The first man asked the second man, "Who is the fellow sitting there?"


Also, Welcome to PD.com, we're all horrible nasty people here, and check out the Operation Mindfuck, Or Kill Me, and Think For Yourself, Schmuck! subforums for our cool stuff. Oh, and there's a pool on the roof.

[Pinko]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Did a search in the PD forums and didn't see anything, so figured I might as well post it just in case, you know?

And thanks for the welcome! I've been reading occasionally for the past several months, so I somewhat know my way around.

The first rule of PD is never talk about the PD.

The first rule of PD is never talk about the PD. 

And of course a good Discordian would never break the rules.

What edition do you have?  Page 00005 of my book says, "Oh baby, you are soo big! Fill me with your hot manly manliness! I want..."  Oops. Wrong book.

Seriously, page 00005 of my PD says, "The first asked the second who the man sitting there was."  Maybe your edition has a typo.

or maybe the was not was

Oh wait, that extra "was" IS a typo. LOL.

I've been thinking about making another version of the pd (another one?!? yes, stfu) that has lots of fluff taken out and i will keep an eye out for typo's too.

What kinda fluff? All the additional forewords and afterwords?

[Reginald Ret]

By fluff i mean the things i did not understand.
I have decided to not make a new version of my own for two reasons:
1) http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=19203.0
2) I am lazy.

Is it wrong that I didn't particularly care for the GIANT freaking foreword at the beginning of Syn's version?

[Pariah]

if no one even really cares

I don't
