David Icke

[D.A.N]

Is David Icke a discordian?

[Cain]

No.  He's some sort of Christian/New Age mix.

[Cramulus]

I consider him a Discordian sage. But I don't think he practices Discordia.

[Epimetheus]

But lizards do rule the world.

[Cain]

[Cainad (dec.)]

David Icke is so good at Discordianism he jaked himself and accidentally poomped out the ideas that would become the central topic of discussion for the Free Thinkers Forum.

100% Discordian saint material. But also a fucking loon.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

I've often suspected people like him are discordians. Could anyone really be like that?

Then I come to the realization that he probably really is like that and I have too much faith in humanity.

I think it's more likely that Larry Wall is a discordian, to be honest. David Icke merely wrote nutty books -- Larry Wall wrote similarly insane software and then GOT PEOPLE TO DEFEND ITS USE. So Larry Wall wins in the jake dept, because not even most discordians are willing to admit that PERL is probably an instance of OM.

[the last yatto]

might as well call the sidewalk astronomer a discordian while we are at it.
he reinvents the wheel telescope and then kopylefts it

David Icke merely wrote nutty books

Nutty?  You make Icke's writings sound like the eccentric second-cousin I never talk to, when really they're more like the uncle I completely refuse to acknowledge.

PERL is awesome.   

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Meh. Regardless of my personal feelings about the usefulness of perl (and remember that a lot of good things started out as pranks -- for instance, post-it notes), lots of Wall's quotes sound like they were ripped from the Hypertext Principia.

The Harvard Law states:  Under controlled conditions of light, temperature,
humidity, and nutrition, the organism will do as it damn well pleases.

/* we have tried to make this normal case as abnormal as possible */
             -- Larry Wall in cmd.c from the perl source code

: The hierarchy is excessive.

So is the anarchy. 
             -- Larry Wall in <199705101952.MAA00756@wall.org>

As with all the other proposals, it's basically just a list of words.
You can deal with that...
             -- Larry Wall in <199709032332.QAA21669@wall.org>

Real theology is always rather shocking to people who already
think they know what they think.  I'm still shocked myself. 
             -- Larry Wall in <199708261932.MAA05218@wall.org>

I'd put my money where my mouth is, but my mouth keeps moving.
             -- Larry Wall in <199704051723.JAA28035@wall.org>

Not that I have anything much against redundancy.  But I said that already.

[Archduke Omni-Fap!]

If there's such a thing as an Accidental Discordian, Icke would seem to fit...

Also, I have seen the Lizards.

They're hawt. All Illuminati robes and no knickers.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Also, I have seen the Lizards.

They're hawt.

Thanks?

[D.A.N]

Hmmm, I guess that makes him a closet discordian then...
