I've recently been inspired to action.  What I want to do is put together a  CD of E-books which I will burn dozens of copies of and plant around Kansas City. This collection can also be made into a torrent, given to other Discordian agents, and planted everywhere. These books should be the most information dense, brain pumping, inspiring books that there are.  They should cover philosophy, science, art, self improvement, skill development, and pretty much anything which people should know.  So, I'm looking for suggestions.  We'll compile a list, skim it down to fit on a single CD and then start spreading it.

Proposed List
-Pricipia Discordia
-Steal This Book (Maybe to dated)
-Anarchists Cookbook
-John Seymours Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency
-1984
-Brave new world
-brave new world revisited
-walden: or, life in the woods
-walden 2
-Black Iron Prison
-all of Intermittens( except for #4)
-Cryptonomicon
-The invisibles
-transmetropolitan
-the art of memetics

This was my final project for my senior media arts class.  It is based on a speculative biology project I've been toying around with since eighth grade.  I intent to continue with drake E for a long time and make much more art based on it.

The Myth of the Second Discordian God

Pope mondo slappy was meditating a top a dumpster when an elderly woman approached him.  He was struck by her peculiar presence.  She was stooped to about 4 feet.  Her face had deep wrinkles and on her forehead behind her grey hair was a tattoo of the chao.  "Young man, I would like that dumpster and there doesn't seem room enough on it for us both.  Could you please move so that I may meditate there?"

"Why should I move for you, old woman? My ass has become accustomed to this dumpster you'll have to find your own." He replied.

"I am more than just some old woman," She answered him "I am a Discordian goddess.  My name is Hilda Discordian Goddess of destructive chaos."

Pope mondo slappy broke out in laughter "You a goddess!? But you are so small and frail you could never be a goddess much less one of destructive chaos! Besides what kind of Discordian are you to forget the first rule of the pentabarf? There is no goddess but Eris!"

The old woman snapped back "and who are you to forget the fifth rule of the pentabarf that you must not believe anything you read!"

"Ah," Pope Mondo sighed "you are right.  Your wisdom of chaos has out done mine.  But how am I to KNOW you are a goddess so that I do not kneel before every old woman."

The old woman then began to grow and as she did she transformed.  Her wrinkles disappeared.  Her hair began to radiate with every color of the RGB color system and some colors previously unknown, which may have contributed to Pope Mondo Slappy's early vision loss but that is an entirely different story.  Now before the Pope stood a six foot tall radiant manifestation of Eris the Bitch of Bedlam in all her chaotic cuteness. "May I have the dumpster now young pope?" She inquired.

Pope Mondo promptly hopped down from the dumpster and sat at its base looking up at Eris as she took her seat. "What has this test been for fair Eris? Have you sought to prove that I am too quick to accept a new god? Or too quick to reject one? Am I not truly enlightened in my understanding of the pentabarf? Should I be more respectful of my elders? Should I meditate more? Less?"

Eris put up her hand to interrupt him "Dude, Dude, Dude" but he continued to speak and she continued to silence him "chill, Dude, Dude, Chill Dude, Chill, Dude, Chill dude, dude chill.  My purpose in this was the same as ones purpose in playing a game of sink, which reminds me I've won the game again."

Pope Mondo Slappy then meditated more.


Suggestions welcome. I'll edit it.  There are likely mistakes which I haven't noticed.

Let's compose a list of reasons why you shouldn't take yourself/the world to seriously.  I might make this into a post if it gets good.
1. You once climbed headfirst out of a woman's vagina. (from XKCD)
2. You are full of shit, piss, and vomit.
D. You loose consciousness for an average of a third of each day.
4. There are more bacteria cells in your body than you cells.
