TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

An art project by some guy I follow on Twitter:

http://transparencygrenade.com/

Yesterday it was just the image of that grenade and only some related art websites explained what it was supposed to do, but now he added some technical specs, and said he'll be updating the page more later.

This is btw the same guy that made NewsTweak (or was it NewsTweek) that I posted about before in O:MF.

very interesting... So this guy is making this "leaking hardware", essentially a spycam and wifi sniffer, in a little grenade package. That's bad ass. I think using something like that in America would result in a call to the bomb squad and a visit from homeland security. Cool application of spy tech anyway.

He won't use it though, in one of his tweets he says "using this would be extremely illegal" (I believe he's from Germany, but it'd be illegal in most of the Western world). It's just an art project--hence it's in the shape of a transparent grenade.

When the site was first up, I googled for "transparency grenade" and it's a term used to describe some of Wikileaks's leaks.

As far as I understand, the shit he builds is fully functional, though.

This is pretty cool. I can see it now. Protesters marching through the streets throwing hundreds of these into all the corporate offices.Regular joes embedding them all over wall street. Leaving them around the UN and other such buildings during tours. If only all the janitors were discordians.

That is beautiful!
