MysticWicks endorsement: ""Oooh, I'm a Discordian! I can do whatever I want! Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

"All attempted organizations and systems and consistencies, some approximating far higher than others, but all only intermediate to Order and Disorder, fail eventually because of their relations with outside forces."

Has anybody else read anything by this guy? He's fucking insane.

It seems he wrote most of his material in the 1920's, and he seems to be the epitome of a lovecraftian character. He was obsessed with unexplained phenomenon, and he did research on scientific journals of the time for over twenty years.

I just bought the Complete Books of Charles Fort today, but most of his material is public domain. Book of the Damned is available on http://www.sacred-texts.com/fort/damned/damn01.htm

The word Fortean comes from his name and the Fortean times is the monthly magazine charting new strange stuff and new and bizzare scientific explanations of subnormal events. It's all very scientific as the theory is to scientifically study the anomalies of science.

just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

I'd been looking for these fellows. You don't mind if I take them back, do you? I still have a few firecrackers left.

Charles Fort is the best. He says
"A secret of power-Do you want power over something? Be more nearly real than it."
also "Raw meat should not be fed to babies"
Wonderful
"He took a duck in the face at two hundred and fifty knots"

   "...I also move for GPS drone fighting forces to guard McVeighs grave in case he re-rises like the messiah and plays games with me like Patrick Swaze did to Demi Moore in Ghost..."
