QuoteThe 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, :wave: 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.
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.
Lurkers always frighten me. :scared:
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. :mrgreen:

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?
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?

So... you're removing content from the original version?
Gotta say, I doubt that'll go over well.

I've never read any of the forwords, because they're boring.
Am I the only person who didn't thumb through a copy of the PD reading (probably arbitrary and nonexistent) meaning into every single statement, picture and mistake that was present?
Or as Siggy says:

And a typo is just a typo
It would be best if, instead of removing stuff from the original PD, you re-wrote the PD as you understand it.

Or, I think even better, write your own slant on Eris Discordia.
If you just rewrite a holy book, you can end up like those rabid Fundamental Christians, Muslim Terrorists, or Ray Comfort.
True, but the Prinicipa Discordia isn't a holy book.
A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon.
He fires Holy-Water from it. It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses it. It is a Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses the Hell out of it. It is a Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He has it pierced. It is a Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He makes it official. It is a Canon Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
Batman and Robin arrive. He shoots them.
