Noticed some weird things after releasing the BIP. First, and least of all, the PDF on my scribd page was my 23rd upload. Completely unintentional.
However, something really weird happened, and it kind of gave me the chills when I noticed it. I had cut out some segments of the interior pages in hexagon shapes and pasted them to the cover. One segment was from Nigel's epilogue. Now, the epilogue is arguably the piece with the most positive takeaway, but, as I was examining the cover, I realized that the particular cut-out segment included in the hexagon portrayed a very different view. The only text visible in the cut out section is: 'advice: Don't listen. Go back to the past; There's nothing waiting for you.'
This was completely unintentional, and really creeped me out when I first saw it. But, I guess it goes to show you how something can look very different from actuality when only focused on a very small segment.
Anyhow, figured I'd share.
This is what happens when you start messing with eldiritch forces.
Next come the bad smells, and animals dying around your house. Even if you don't have a house.

Whoaaaaa
That's both chilling, and incredibly appropriate due to the perspective-shifting message of the BIP.
You are only seeing part of the message...
The most interesting thing about it, actually, is that while my epilogue is a rebuttal of Roger's afterword, that snippet of it completely echoes what he said. Everybody's gonna thing we're geniuses who did it on purpose.
Aren't we?
:ECH:

Yeah, the whole thing is just so hyper-coincidental. But even knowing it was, it still gave me the chills for a sec. But, yeah, I
totally did that on purpose, if anyone asks :wink:

Yeah, and I uh, I like wrote it that way so you could totally do that with it. On purpose and stuff. Really. :shifty:
