Not sure if there is a thread on this already, but I was wondering if people know much about Gregory Hill?
I've noticed that I havent been able to find a single picture of him on the internet, whereas I can find several of Kerry Thornley.
Also, Malaclypse the Younger is mentioned several times in Illuminatus as having dissapeared into the ocean, or going to start the ELF . . .
Also also - Kerry Thornley and RAW had a falling out in the 70s when Thornley thought he was working for the CIA, but I never read what Gregory Hill thought about it, or whether Hill and Thornley were still talking at that point.
So . . . does Gregory Hill even exist? Or is his 'real' name Robert Anton Wilson?
Greg Hill is a pooka. He lives in Ireland and recently published the
cyberpunk novel "Crash and Burn like a Turkey, Baby" under the
penname of Mangrove Polygoose.

This is TRUE.
greg hill died in the late 80's of cancer. hje was a computer rpogrammer and was known for noticing obvioous obscurites often missed. if you were to visit him , he'd offer you room temperature coffeee. when visiotrs complained abotu th etemperature, he'd comment "you're nto drinking coffee, you're drinking temperature."
That's interesting - why are there no pictures of him?
Any idea where I can find out more about this jester?
-C.R.
the migh tbe one in confessions to conspiracy by kerry thronley.
i assume it may be because he may have not allowed people to take picture sof him.
also he apparetly cut ties to the world of discordia in the 70's.
and no robert anton wilson wasn't on th escne until well after the 1st ed. pd was published.
as far i know.
but there are 17 conflicting histories.

Also noe that he wrote an afterward to the Loompanics Unlimited edition of the Principia that for some reason is not on this website.

I think R.A.W.'s is.
Hill travels to diffeent dimensions and planets doing Goddess'.work.
What do you mean there are no picture of Greg Hill? I have one right here!

No, the other left.

that's lame. i shoudl read it and the toehr wone's so i can say "raw's is the suckeist evar!"
lol ;)
Kerry Thornley's intro is without a doubt the best, and in my opinion, should be included in any proper copy (http://www.ology.org/principia/intro5.html)
i totally agree the_fonz.
it's the oen that inspired me to write the discordian maniphestos.

He looks like some sort of slick-looking divine prototype/enlightened prophet from outer space who's currently stuck in the late 50s, mourning the death of the underground jazz era but at the same time smug in the knowledge that the sexual revolution's about to happen.

Greg Hill was quite real. More details to follow in a book one of these days. I've seen multiple pics. 2 are in my Prankster book. I know many people who knew and loved him. So there.
Well, I'm glad we solved that one. Anyone for a spot of tea?

Good book by the way!
Greg who?
I heard he co-authored a book with some other hippie. Few people read it and it had pretty much no influence on anyone.
It wasn't even very funny. Something about hot dogs, I think.

I think it was hilarious. "Think for yourself", they said. And what was the response? "The Principia. Read it." (Tao).
I still get a chuckle from that, as I sit in my office and watch the world circle the bowl.
Well sure, but you only think it's funny because you're not a real Discordian.

I found a pic of greg hill quite awhile ago.This pic was originally at http://pages.videotron.com/drroots/Pineal%20Code%20013.html, but the site is just a good ol' 404 error now.

I don't know if this is actually him or not, but the site I found it on had pics of several golden age-era discordians (Thornley, Benares, RAW et al.) so I'd assume it to be him.

How incredibly odd, I used your exact username to sign up to another forum a while ago. And it wasnt some half-memory or anything cause I remember to need to look up whether it's spelled "zweitracht" oder "zwietracht".
Anyway, the account never got approved, so if you want the email e.von.zwietracht@g ma il.com, shoot me a PM, cause I suppose it belongs to you :-P

Wasn't there a Greg Hill in the production staff of Rocko's Modern Life? I've always wondered if it was the same Greg Hill......

Such debates can be found everywhere, including discussion pages in Wikipedia that I may or may not have contributed to.

What makes you think that Kerry Thornley isn't an alias of Greg Hill?

Is the thought of a pseudonym a pseudothought?
In any case, from the previous entries, you now have several accounts of who he was. Happy now? Lots of information!

Actually, yes. You can get a partial list of Greg Hill's work here:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0384295/
A lot of art and animation... this fits with the access to Western Union forms quite neatly.

If you are unable to find images of people on the interweb does that mean they cease to exist?
