Chapel Guidelines
We now have a total of 10 "Official Chapelers"~
Me and Niq of course, Weirdpixie, Sauceruney, Toohey, John(BBC), Cait, Olivia, Puggs, and Justis, with one pending--Mondays.
All of their sites are in the left frame, except Sauceruney and Mondays, which I will repair later tonight.
So I guess it's time to mention a few things, even though it's quite apparent these people know enough about Chapel to know what's expected here.
You can post links to Lovelies, male or female, but never a nudie pic on the site itself, and we aren't interested in hardcore, that can be found anywhere.
You can post political articles if they are conspiratorial, funny,urgent, or related to another post, but I'd like to keep the anti-Bush stuff down to a bare minimum, as well as politics in general unless you feel it's something that really really needs to be discussed. WeirdPixie's recent entry is a good example (holy hell--HUGE deja vú happening all a-sudden) of what's appropriate to post. Why not let ol' Bsti bear the burden of the anti-Bush stuff, and even I intend to restrain myself as much as humanly possible.
We do have Chapelers that find such things offensive, and obviously that's not our goal.
Chapel isn't a political site anyway, it's supposed to be more an E/N site tending toward the paranormal, unexplained, weird, wonderful, wacky and shiny. We like games, funny stories, conspiracies, pretty humans, and Always Always anything sock-related.
All the posts from members so far has been completely acceptable and appropriate for Chapel, that's why you were chosen to be members!
BTW, I'm thinking those who are registered to post should be considered Chapel Council and any new potential members will have to be voted in by the Council, so we don't get too many people on here too soon. I think right now we have enough members to keep Chapel entertaining without being overwhelming--we'll see!
Eventually we might have to do what other E/N sites do and break everything up into specific categories with labels designating them.
Images should be large enough to see but not so large as they overlap into the right section-they should either be centered or aligned to the left if there is alot of accompanying text.
That's it! Any suggestions from Chapelers or Council would be much appreciated. I will probably edit this if I think of more, but I seriously don't want to limit anyone's creativity or intimidate to the point of scarce posts.
I'm loving Chapel right now.
I'm loving everyone's posts~ I have Chapel set as my homepage so it's always Very Shiny to refresh and see new posts from someone besides me or Niq!
Scroll Away, there is much to see here!
Why, just look at Sauceruney's post below!

I tried to find a nice leg/foot shot, Bsti, but... well... um, nevermind.
Here's a good sock shot....
Too bad she didn't take better pics of these socks.
Tonight there was a helicopter circling incessantly around my apartment complex for awhile, beaming its searchlight around suspiciously. This made me think of the black helicopters, which made me think of the Men in Black, which of course made me think of UFOs and extraterrestrials.
And that reminded me of a man I mentioned in a report on UFOs/ETs back in high school (yeah, I was a nerd back then too). Erich von Daniken is a leading proponent of a controversial theory that humankind is the result of an alien/ape breeding program to produce a new hybrid species intelligent enough to start a civilization.
To many Chapelers, von Daniken's work is probably pretty elementary, but I thought I'd mention it for those of you who have yet to enjoy.

Speaking of synchronicities, here's one of my favorite news items of the year: The Exploding Hotel Toilet
What makes this good isn't that the person in the hotel room was a plumber attending the plumber's converntion. No, what makes it good is that this particular plumber was a specialist in exploding toilets.

Protein° OS is a nicely designed site for the fellow link farmers out there.
On the synchronicity side of things, Susan at easybakecoven had posted a tip on how to type the little ° symbol (needed above for Protein°) today, and I had posted this link for more in her comments section.

Since Vinny asked 4 people the ChainQ's rather than three, I want to answer them too.
I'll get to Puggs' one day, after vital brain cells regenerate.
1. How different is your political orientation and perspective of the world than that of your parents?
Dad was a staunch conservative, mom didn't care either way.
I tended to follow mom's perspective until Autumn 2000.
2.Lots of people like to walk around the house singing Spice Girls songs. What's your #1 guilty pleasure?
To that end I take a pre-existing song and change the words to whatever someone in the room with me utters.
Of course the songs have to match, if it doesn't or no one says anything, I'll just think of any song and change all the words to Meow. That's right, I wander around the house singing meowmeow songs to our cat Phranq.
Both of these drive Niq batty, but the first one is starting to rub off on her.......
3. What's the one subject you did poorly on in school, but looking back you definitely could've done better with more studying or harder work?
Math, but in my defense I went to school in Hawaii, and the math teacher spoke pidjin english, a language I had no grasp of until it was too late.
4. It's said that religion and politics should never be discussed in open company. What subject would you never consider bringing up, even in the company of friends, for fear it'll break into an all-out brawl?
Turns out~religion and politics.
That's one reason I blog and the reason my RealLife friends refuse to visit here.
These are two subjects Niq prefers not to discuss at length, and I honor that wish most times, but I won't shy away from a debate on either subject if it comes up.
My RL friends tend to take the Brittney Spears position of supporting the president no matter what, don't ask questions you are not being lied to etc., and find that I am quite harsh regarding religions to the point of not wanting to discuss them with me.
What is your favorite meal of the day and what does it consist of?
I only eat once a day, supper.
We make lots of unique and yummy meals, but my favorite meal of all time is the standard chicken with potatoes, corn and creamy white gravy.
Second is porkchops, we don't eat beef and very rarely fish.
I also make a mean PorkLoaf!

"Chapel Perilous" follows a pair of Arthurian journalists, Lienors and Dalyn (of the "Camelot Chronicle" and the "Northern Pict") who are scooping the big story:
It all make perfect sense now ~ sweet!
Toohey
Just a foot-related exchange~
TVGO: You danced with the Joffrey Ballet. How long did you study?
Charlize Theron: For 12 years.
TVGO: So do you have ugly dancer feet?
Theron: I have dancer feet in the sense that I have a very high instep, and I'm really comfortable on demi-pointe, which means I can do anything in high heels. But I've had 14 broken toes, blood poisoning from infected blisters that didn't heal for six months and all of those things. If you look up close you can see those scars. But I never got bunions or anything. My boyfriend says my feet are the best thing about me. But I don't know how to feel about that.

Bare Your Bum at Bush!
Objective
To collectively voice our displeasure at the impending arrival of George W Bush in the UK and in doing so either sour the experience or prevent his arrival.
Background
George W. Bush has already cancelled one visit to this country because he felt more than a little unwelcome. The man is terribly secretive about state visits, but Laura Bush recently let slip that a visit to the UK is being planned sometime in autumn. Our aim is to give the man the bum's rush before he even arrives and/or show him exactly what we think of him in the finest British tradition.
...thought this should get passed around the bloggerwelt, so posted it at Olla Podrida, sTaRe and here, for now. Maybe it'll start something here, you never know. Kudos to those whacky Brits for thinking of this one, though, my hat's off to ya (er, um, mebbe pants, too, come to think of it).

Mila Kunis is dating Macaulay Culkin???
Noooooooooooooooo!
Ah, she might just be shelved as used goods along with Carmen Electra and JLow.
What's weird is when I heard this on 20/20, I immediately had a vision of a hot dog being thrown down a well.

"Trying to Help" by Dennis Miller
"Bush has turned this country's largest-ever budget surplus into the largest-ever deficit. Meanwhile, he slashed unemployment benefits for out-of-work Americans during the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, and cut veterans benefits while US troops were being killed and wounded in Iraq. And yet, he boasts the wealthiest cabinet of any administration on record. He's put more criminals on the payroll than a prison laundry room.
But what's most amazing is that he did all this and logged more vacation days than any president in history. How could I not hitch my wagon to this freakin' supernova?
Maybe next time he'll even get the majority of the votes!"
Of course it's a parody.
Miller was never this funny.

Bush to seek $ 60 billion or more for Iraq
"US President George W Bush is planning to seek $ 60 to 70 billion to help cover the mounting costs of reconstruction and military occupation of Iraq, media reports said on Thursday.
Before the Iraq war, US officials had predicted Iraq would be able to pay for the occupation with its oil revenues.
The new budget request serves as an 'acknowledgement by the administration that it vastly underestimated the price tag
of restoring order in Iraq and rebuilding its infrastructure'."

In contrast to my earlier post about Firefly...
Leading in to "Queer Eye's" success...
"Citing figures from Nielsen Media Research, NBC said this week's episode of "Queer Eye" drew 3.35 million total viewers, only the second time Bravo has broken the 3 million mark. Before "Queer Eye," Bravo's record total viewer audience was about 1.3 million"...
What's significant about this is that "Taking advantage of the show's success, NBC has pulled in episodes of the show from Bravo to air on its own prime-time schedule" yet a "measely 4.7 million" was not enough for Fox to keep Firefly on? When was the last time the Neilsen's asked you what you were watching anyway? they haven't asked me in a couple of decades now. Just how do they know what we're watching???

"Firefly" Glows Again
Firefly chronicled the adventures of a band of space pirates aboard the ship Serenity. Set 500 years in the future, the series was part sci-fi fantasy, part old-fashioned western and all dud on TV--it averaged a measly 4.7 million viewers and ranked 98th in the Nielsen ratings when it was pulled in December. (measely 4.7 million ?!?)
The feature version is expected to incorporate mythology from the show but will reportedly take on a more epic feel. Whedon also hopes to reunite the original cast for the feature, as well as add new characters.

Simething to look at from C2C.
Art Bell is "guest hosting" tonight.
He's been complaining for years about his back,to the extent that it affected his on-air performance, eventually retiring because of the pain.
Tonight he reveals that he no longer has back pain.
Why?
He lost some weight.
That's it, that's all.
Years of bitching, quitting work ahead of his time, all because he was overwight; and apparently he and his doctors couldn't figure that out.
Ruined his career all because he didn't cut down on the burgers.

Mixing bugs and bombs | Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
"For months, U.S. and coalition forces have scoured Iraq searching for biological weapons and the labs that might have made them; the possibility of these labs’ existence led broadcasts around the world.
Meanwhile, in the United States, with very little media attention or public discussion, the Bush administration is quietly pursuing plans to build biowarfare agent facilities of its own. The new labs will handle, modify, and experiment with some of the most harmful agents known to humanity, including live anthrax, plague, Q fever, and botulism.
But what should be even more controversial is where some of these biofacilities are being built: at nuclear weapons design sites—Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico."
Aw man, why do WE have to go and mess with that stuff?
Is it really going to solve anything?
Seriously, we use that on anyone, we can kiss any allies on this planet goodbye.
Oh wait, Saddam used them and the US remained his ally.
Never mind.
BTW, I am under no illusion that this hasn't already been going on for decades.

White House Approved Departure of Saudis After Sept. 11, Ex-Aide Says"Top White House officials personally approved the evacuation of dozens of influential Saudis, including relatives of Osama bin Laden, from the United States in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks when most flights were still grounded, a former White House adviser said today.
The adviser, Richard Clarke, who ran the White House crisis team after the attacks but has since left the Bush administration, said he agreed to the extraordinary plan because the Federal Bureau of Investigation assured him that the departing Saudis were not linked to terrorism. The White House feared that the Saudis could face 'retribution' for the hijackings if they remained in the United States, Mr. Clarke said."
"The fact that relatives of Mr. bin Laden and other Saudis had been rushed out of the country became public soon after the Sept. 11 attacks. But questions have lingered about the circumstances of their departure, and Mr. Clarke's statements provided the first acknowledgment that the White House had any direct involvement in the plan and that senior administration officials personally signed off on it.
"The White House said today that it had no comment on Mr. Clarke's statements"
Surprised?
Me neither.

AWolf has the 5 Q's up, go see.
I found a whole box full of mindvirus cassettes~practice sessions, 4/8 tracks, experiments, I'd say about 40 tapes in all, so I want to listen to them, maybe make something to send WeirdPixie, so blogging will be very light tonight.

I know, I know, it's like flogging (or would that be blogging?) a dead horse already with this one (although I HATE that expression)-- but I couldn't leave this one alone, so here:
Britney would not kiss another woman besides Madonna via today's CNN headline "news"...
A gum-smacking Britney Spears told CNN Wednesday that she has never before kissed a woman and never would again -- unless the woman is Madonna.
The pop star exchanged a prolonged, open-mouth kiss with the Material Girl during MTV's Music Video Awards show last week.
"I didn't know it was going to be that long and everything," said Spears.
She said the singers had played around during rehearsal and Madonna had told her they would "just feel it out and see what happens" during the performance.
"I've never kissed a woman before," Spears said demurely.
When asked if she would "do it again," she squealed, "No, I would not do it," but then added, "Maybe with Madonna."
And of course, this story would just not be complete without the
photo and matching caption CNN chose for the occasion:
Spears: "I think we should just trust our
president in every decision that he makes
and we should just support that."

Five Questions
Asked by Bsti, answered by John Fenderson
Asked by Bsti, answered by John Fenderson
- 1. If you could be any superhero, who would it be and why?
- Superhero? Who'd want to be a superhero? They all seem so messed up, each in their own way. Superman with his repressed homosexuality; Spiderman, who's slowly dying of radiation poisoning, and is kindof a jerk; Batman, who was driven insane by witnessing the murder of his parents, etc.
Except for The Tick (in his original cartoon iteration), who is a font of deep, inner wisdom. Sure, maybe he's a little light in the brains department, but he makes up for it in heart and a Zenlike understanding of the world and his place in it. He is the only sane superhero. Maybe the only sane person at all.
Plus, he has the best battle cry of all time. SPOON! - 2. If you could choose your race, which one and why?
- The three-legged race. The metaphors run too deep to resist. Two seperate people, intimately connected and having to coordinate their actions with the other while under the stress of competition. Each must both lead and follow, or both tumble to the ground. It's heavy, man. Isn't life nothing but a series of three-legged races, often with people you don't know, making the coordination more difficult?
- 3. If you had access to a Time Machine, what would be the first thing you'd do?
- Charge a really steep admission fee. I might also like to travel forward and check to see how my kid is doing throughout her life. Even if I can't alter the future to get her to avoid any really horrible things, at least I can be emotionally prepared for them. On the other hand, maybe that's a terrible idea and I'd live in dread of events that haven't happened yet and ruin the present for us both. I'll just stick to charging the admission fee.
- 4. If you were to run for president, how would you sell yourself to the public?
- I wouldn't run for President, as I'm not insane. But, if I did...
I'd not "sell" myself at all, in the sense of doing market research and packaging myself to appeal to as many folks as possible. I think that's dishonest, and I'd say so. I'd run as a real, human, and flawed candidate. I'd point out that my opponents are also real, human, and flawed, but they aren't honest enough to fess up to it. When the papers dredge up the embarassing and unpleasant things I've done in the past (oh, come on, we ALL have them), I'd confess fully and comment on how the experiences make me more qualified for the office.
I'd actually say what I mean, honestly describe my intentions, plans, and political beliefs, attack my opponent's policies (not their person) when I disagree, and give them proper credit when I agree.
I'd lose. - 5. Have we or will we ever be visited by ET's? If so/not, why?
- That there is more than meets the eye on this alien question is obvious. Something very weird is happening, and it has been happening for at least as long as man has been keeping any kind of history at all.
Are these weird things caused by beings from another planet and who travel here in space ships? Maybe, but this seems like a leap of logic to me. Even further, it seems overly simplistic -- little different than prior generations explaining these things in terms of faeries, pixies, angels, etc. We're just interpreting them through our modern mechanistic and scientific lenses, just as prior ages have interpreted the same things through their lenses of magical belief, religion, and superstition.
The evidence that exists can be interpreted to support the ET hypothesis, but it can equally easily be interpreted in a number of different ways that have nothing to do with aliens. To favor one interpretation over the other, given the sketchy evidence we have, is simply preconception and conditioning.
Will we ever be visited? I don't know. "Ever" is a very long time. I do think there are intelligent, alien beings elsewhere in the universe. The odds favor that heavily. Will they ever come here? Maybe, but the universe is mind-bogglingly immense. It could very well be that we'd never know of each other's existence at all.
At the end of october, I get to call this woman my wife~!
How lucky am i??
Yes, this is my wife. I love the sound of that.

Jesus Himself explains The Easter Story.
"I was not born into poverty as is implied through current Christian doctrine."
Chapel knew that!
Remember when we discussed that he and his father had a lucrative carpentry business?
Though here he claims that "Joseph of Arimathea was a metal merchant."
Then we note~
"One of my constant traveling companions was the disciple Luke."
Yes, I heard Alec Guinness' voice too.
"These are not the disciples you are looking for."
"I gave instruction to Judas to take on the task of telling the Romans to tell them where I was so the crucifixion would take place."
Well now that's just re-writing the whole scene! You know, a guy gets crucified regularly in a Cosmic Drama, and eventually it goes to his head.......
What happens when you monkey with the Script?
"Later an event happened that was thought to have been my ascension. This took place on a mountain known as Mt. Tabor."
(I've played that venue. Lousy place to hold an Ascension.)
"It was never considered that this event would lead to a massive control system and the death of millions of people in my name. The plan was to spread unconditional Love, Non-judgment and Light for the further evolvement of humanity."
Oooops.

L.E.M.U.R. Paranormal Investigations: "As Apollo 8 orbited 70 miles above the lunar surface, with Earth in the background, it filmed the ground below. At one point, a small, black object, tall and cylindrical, appears jutting from the moon. Just as the camera is about to pass by, the strange object clearly releases a jet-like cloud. It looks like a smokestack ejecting a puff of smoke."
The Lost Photos
"When someone does not pay their storage bill, they auction off the units. I bought 2 units; in one of the units there was a book. In the pages of the book I was looking at, I found these photographs."
What's shiny about this story is that the photographs are random found objects.
I love that.
Also, I didn't know you could buy storage units, and the contents therein, at auction.
This really appeals to my inner raccoon.

Blogrolled for a good while, finally get to feature her blog~
Bitch Has *Word* :: Scribbles, blurbs, and the occasional screed by an average writer, lousy tuba player, and general pain in the ass.
"I'm not going to pretend that I've been following the details of the campaigns very closely, because I haven't. But I'll start paying more attention now, since the primaries are due to begin before you know it.
But who the hell are these people who can't name ONE Democratic candidate? Must be the same idiots who think Iraqis flew the planes on 9/11."
Very probably, but the thing is, all the Dem candidates SUCK ASS.
We have no real good choices in this next election; re-hire BushCo or hire one of those incompetent Dems!
Either way we are Screwed.
Seriously, none of them look human, especially Kerry.
(cue scary music)
FREAK! Abomination!

Hmmm, Rove too, huh?
The Ambassador Wilson Affair: The End of Karl Rove – And George Bush?
"According to reliable sources, as well as our own Al Martin Raw.com investigation, Karl Rove is, in fact, the grandson of Karl Heinz Roverer, the gauleiter of Mecklenburg, who was also a partner and senior engineer of Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurbüro AG. They built Birchenau, the concentration camp in Nazi Germany.
Rove, it should be noted, is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany. Because of his position he has special diplomatic status. The idea is that if its absolutely necessary he could go to Switzerland where he couldn’t be extradited."
I wonder if Prescott Bush and Roverer were buddies?

1. If you could be any superhero, who would it be and why?
2. If you could choose your race, which one and why?
(if you don't want to pick a race, pick a species)
3. If you had access to a Time Machine, what would be the first thing you'd do?
4. If you were to run for president, how would you sell yourself to the public?
5. Have we or will we ever be visited by ET's? If so/not, why?
No rush, fellas, whenever you get to it.
I thank you for stepping up, knowing that now you must find three people to throw questions at yourselves!!!
Mwahahahahahahahahaha!
I'm now freeeeeeeee!!!! Freeeeee!!!!!!
Remember, you MUST now find threesuckers volunteers to answer five new questions. This isn't my rule, it's the rule of the Q-Chain.
Also remember, few read Chapel so it will barely make a diff, if any, but at least we will have fulfilled our end of the Bargain and avoid nasty Q-chain Karma. Just get it over with.
We didn't start this, but we aren't about to stop it either.
I tried to make the Q's easy, as opposed to Puggs, whose Q's I tried to answer myself last night and just could not get past the first one.......
"1.Who was the greatest man in history, the one who's life had the greatest impact on the course of human events."
I hate when people prove how much smarter they are than I without even trying!
I got number three though Puggs.....Sean Hannity, human feces.

Coughing Might Save Heart Attack Victims: "In a study, 115 patients in Katowice at risk of cardiac arrest were trained to cough at the first sign of an attack and did so on 365 occasions. In 292 cases the symptoms disappeared and only 73 required medical attention, Petelenz reported."

Remember Cait's Five Questions?
Remember I told you how it's rather a chain-interview, where someone asks three people 5 questions, and they in turn ask three people 5 new questions and on it goes through the Blogiverse®?
Remember how I asked for volunteers lest the chain end here?
Niq's already got her questions ready, so please volunteer so we can keep it going.
If it ends here, Chapel will be laughed at, moreso than usual.
Anyway, Puggs over at RNS was one of Cait's volunteers, and he's already got more volunteers for his questions than he needs.
And they are tough questions, too.
I can't wait to read the answers.
**update**
thanks to Cait's skills of persuasion we have two "volunteers".
But how is this going to work--Niqi answered five questions too.
We can't pile 10 questions on three poor souls......
Do we need need four more people?
Is this getting all weird and uncomfortable??

Mark asked a very good question in comments, and I want Chapelers to share their opinions on this as well.
"Out of curiousity, who, if anyone, would you consider worthy (to run for president)? Don't restrict yourself to parties or politicians, play kingmaker and pick a name."
I don't want another actor in the WH, though wouldn't Christopher Walken kick ass as CIC?
But this is a serious question that deserves a serious answer, so your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Maybe throw in a humorous one with the serious one.

As seen on The O'Reilly Factor~(I keep waiting for him to say something about that stupid lawsuit..so far, nothing.)
Charlie Daniels was somehow able to scratch out enough squiggles and doodles for a book entitled "Ain't No Rag", which in proper english means "Is A Rag" because it isn't not a rag, right?
When someone says "that ain't nothin'", what they are really saying, according to the proper use of the language, is "that isn't Nothing" which would mean that it is Something.

Up until this point Red Jellyfish has actually lost money every time someone visited our site and clicked to donate. As you can imagine, it was hard for us to promote the program and encourage it to grow under those conditions. With this change, we will no longer lose money on the program. This means that we can now afford to promote and expand the program and significantly increase traffic to it, which will allow us to save more rainforest and feed more chimps than ever before!

Who said this?
"We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever greater instability."

Globalizing Government By Sandra E: "Have you heard the one about how your government will be put into private hands? That's right. Privatization, known as 'market based government' by the Bush administration and 'privateering' by others, is well under way and is probably already a part of your life.
Privatizing the government has been in the works for years but until now mostly involved using business contractors for things like building maintenance. No longer. President Bush has decreed the immediate replacement of about half the federal civilian work force with private sector employees, and that's just the beginning."

If you enjoy Conan O'Brien as I do~
"The startling fact is that he has logged more years on late-night TV than Steve Allen or Jack Paar. Even more startling, he has now occupied the post-midnight slot at NBC nearly as long as David Letterman, whose ground-breaking act O'Brien was asked to follow when Letterman jumped to CBS."

Lots of fonts here for those in need. I've gone through every Gothic font they have trying to find the one Bsti used for the Chapel and I haven't found it.
Anyone out there have it?

U.S. funds Arab lifestyle magazine
"It doesn't contain a word about the American invasion of Iraq, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Afghanistan or al-Qaida. Nor will future issues. The magazine's editors and its State Department funders plan a resolutely apolitical magazine."
I'm just going to quote the source of this link, Noiseusse~
"Let's just analyze this for a minute. On second thought all I can think is 'God damn shit fucking pig fuckers,' but notice the background.
White people.
The cover of a targeted Arab magazine and what do you see? 2 white people to one Arab. Not to mention the fact that it is a culturally insensitive image and people that look like that hardly exist.
What would you think if a bunch of, oh I dunno, for the sake of argument let's say blue-people started bombing the fuck out of Canada and then introduced a magazine into the US that which on the cover showed one american(of any color) wearing nothing but a hula-hoop and a handkerchief (the native blue-people dress) and two blue people in the same garb? I'll tell you what I'd think: 'Get the shotgun, marm. Some sorry people are coming and they're gonna try and paint us blue.'"

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS provided by Cait.
oh no, I wasn't expecting thinking questions...
1. What do you consider the greatest invention of all time?
Reality. It keeps us so confused we don't have much effort left to figure out what's really going on around us. Plus we've come to believe in it & rely on it so strongly that we have no point of reference with which to compare it.
2. Give us step-by-step instructions on how to construct a tinfoil hat.
hmmm, I usually make my hats out of saran wrap & I believe it's quite a different process since they are such different materials. I'm afraid I can't help you with this one...
3. What was the most significant event of the 20th Century?
well, I believe everything is relative & since I've birthed no children I would have to say that my own birth is most significant to me.
4. What do you think the afterlife (life after death) should be?
ah, "should be"...
I think it "should be" white puffy clouds, warm breezes and infinite happiness.
5. What person, agency, or organization do you believe was responsible for assassinating JFK?
Currently I'm more fascinated by whether or not Paul is dead. Theories on who's behind that include the KKK, the Rolling Stones, the royal family and the Beatles themselves who may've considered him metaphorically dead when they started all the fun clues & rumours going round oh-so-long-ago.

This interview with A Perfect Circle is from right after they put out their first album Mer De Noms (sorry, it's a pdf). Maynard discusses the emotional dynamics of the songs & how they're mostly about stages of forgiveness & healing. When I think of the time that record came into our lives & the role that music played in helping get us through those times it occures to me that it was a perfect circle in itself...
only 2 weeks til their new album!!!

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS provided by Cait.
Funny I should agree to do this~I can't recall who started it, but I think it was a bunch of people who don't particularly care for The Chapel or more specifically, my opinions on certain things.
Anyway, I suppose it works like a chain-letter. One person asks three other people 5 questions, and those three in turn ask three more people five questions, and so on. Obviously they aren't the same five questions~each new person writes his/her own questions. So now I probably have to follow suit and come up with questions of my own and ask three people to answer them.
Volunteer.
So Onward~
1.What do you consider the greatest invention of all time?
I could say Music, but that's more of a natural function of Universe rather than an invention.
Maybe the Time Machine, invented somewhen around 2230.
A runner-up might be the Orgone Accumulator, invented by Dr. Wilhelm Reich.
But seriously, it might actually be the Internet-I suffer withdrawal symptoms without it.
2.Give us step-by-step instructions on how to construct a tinfoil hat.
1. Get a five foot sheet of aluminum foil (standard one foot wide Reynolds Wrap brand will do nicely.)
2. Fold the sheet four times into five equal segments so that you end up with a 1x1 foot square, making sure that you fold over the dull side of the foil leaving the square shiny on both sides.
3. Use scissors to cut from one corner of the square to the center, making a straight line.
4. Bend the foil from one side of the cut under the other, making a slight cone. Again, make sure that the outside of the cone has a shiny side of the foil; this is VERY important.
5. Place the cone on your head and squash the top and sides to make it fit snugly.
6. Apply Scotch tape liberally making sure to secure the cut in the foil and any form-fitting creases made in step 5.
7. Use more tape to secure to your cranium.
It can't be stressed enough how important it is to have the shiny side pointing out. This is needed because the shiny side is most reflective to psychotronic radiation, while the dull side can actually, in certain environmental conditions, absorb it. However, as is illustrated in the instructions above, it is also wise to complement this with a layer of foil pointing shiny side in. This will keep your brain waves, which are also reflected by the shiny side, from being picked up by mind-reading equipment
3.What was the most significant event of the 20th Century?
August 19, 1992, the birth of the next Ruler Of Earth, Sheyn Remy
Another might be the US/Soviet manned mission to Mars in 1962
or perhaps the Babalon Working in 1946
4.What do you think the afterlife (life after death) should be?
I personally don't feel there's a Before And After, as All Is Simultaneous.
3 dimensional reality is itself the illusion we have created to Experience Everything and absorb it into the One.
We originate from Source and project ourselves out into our creation, so we never actually leave what's generally thought of as the Afterlife (beyond the Blue Wall).
5.What person, agency, or organization do you believe was responsible for assassinating JFK?
I think alot of people wanted to see JFK dead:
Lyndon Johnson
CIA/FBI/Secret Service
The Mossad
The Federal Reserve and/or International Bankers
The Club Of Rome/NASA
The Mafia
VRWC
USSR
anti-Castro Cubans
Operation Paperclip Nazis
However, I currently believe the Fatal Shot was either an accident by overzealous secret service agents firing
back after they heard shots, or the driver of the limo JFK was in put a revolver over his right shoulder and Blammo.
Funny I should agree to do this~I can't recall who started it, but I think it was a bunch of people who don't particularly care for The Chapel or more specifically, my opinions on certain things.
Anyway, I suppose it works like a chain-letter. One person asks three other people 5 questions, and those three in turn ask three more people five questions, and so on. Obviously they aren't the same five questions~each new person writes his/her own questions. So now I probably have to follow suit and come up with questions of my own and ask three people to answer them.
Volunteer.
So Onward~
1.What do you consider the greatest invention of all time?
I could say Music, but that's more of a natural function of Universe rather than an invention.
Maybe the Time Machine, invented somewhen around 2230.
A runner-up might be the Orgone Accumulator, invented by Dr. Wilhelm Reich.
But seriously, it might actually be the Internet-I suffer withdrawal symptoms without it.
2.Give us step-by-step instructions on how to construct a tinfoil hat.
1. Get a five foot sheet of aluminum foil (standard one foot wide Reynolds Wrap brand will do nicely.)
2. Fold the sheet four times into five equal segments so that you end up with a 1x1 foot square, making sure that you fold over the dull side of the foil leaving the square shiny on both sides.
3. Use scissors to cut from one corner of the square to the center, making a straight line.
4. Bend the foil from one side of the cut under the other, making a slight cone. Again, make sure that the outside of the cone has a shiny side of the foil; this is VERY important.
5. Place the cone on your head and squash the top and sides to make it fit snugly.
6. Apply Scotch tape liberally making sure to secure the cut in the foil and any form-fitting creases made in step 5.
7. Use more tape to secure to your cranium.
It can't be stressed enough how important it is to have the shiny side pointing out. This is needed because the shiny side is most reflective to psychotronic radiation, while the dull side can actually, in certain environmental conditions, absorb it. However, as is illustrated in the instructions above, it is also wise to complement this with a layer of foil pointing shiny side in. This will keep your brain waves, which are also reflected by the shiny side, from being picked up by mind-reading equipment
3.What was the most significant event of the 20th Century?
August 19, 1992, the birth of the next Ruler Of Earth, Sheyn Remy
Another might be the US/Soviet manned mission to Mars in 1962
or perhaps the Babalon Working in 1946

EMOTIONAL RESCUE (i'll come to your). . . . ...
An atmospheric and emotional flash piece that has almost nothing to do with the Rolling Stones.
I love Tim Nolan's motion work, but his still photos are amazing. You'll see that he has an interesting way of mixing the two together.

I love the food channel because they run food shows late into the night when I can't sleep. This morning they're playing a beach eats show and featured Wahoo's fish tacos. I forget about wahoo's fish tacos from time to time but when reminded I am sad. They are delicious, the Cota Mesa Trader Joe's is was near a wahoo's and it was my favorite place to have lunch during my last year in California. No other fish tacos compare (except, maybe homemade).
"Find the Man's Head within 3 seconds and you're a genius! According to medical experiments: If you can find the Man's Head within 3 seconds, your right brain is developed better than normal. If you can find the Man's Head within 1 minute, your right brain is developed normally. If you can find the Man's Head within 1-3 mintues, your right brain is slow in reacting, you should eat more meat protein. If you can find the Man's Head in 3 minutes or more, your right brain is a disaster... extremely slow in reacting, the only suggeestion is please watch cartoons to help normally develop your right brain."

"Dr. J.H. Rabaikal has been a Doctor of Hypnosis and Psychology in India since 1969. In 1973 he became professor at the University of Bombay (Psychological Faculty JKP), where he still teaches today following his own methods of modern Indian hypnosis (MIH). Using the method of self-hypnosis named after him - as described in his 1976 publication in the «Trade Journal for Applied Psychology»- he has achieved a breakthrough in an entirely new, contemporary use of hypnosis."
It's hard to tell from outward appearances if this is a joke~the accompanying audio and the pic of the Good Doctor who looks as though he's stared at his own experiments too long.........

Voting machine controversy
"The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is 'committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.'"
No matter how Bush wins next year, and I have no doubt he will win, it's going to be very messy, moreso than when he was first "elected".

Oh, I never would have predicted this!
The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of pumping oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa.
The request came in a telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a top Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem.
The Prime Minister's Office,which views the pipeline to Haifa as a bonus the U.S. could give to Israel in return for its unequivocal support for the American-led campaign in Iraq, had asked the Americans for the official telegram."
And here's how I feel about the whole damn thing~
Let the Iraqis "rebuild" Iraq. They've got tons of qualified people, they did it after Gulf War I, they need the work, and they deserve the rewards.
Let them manage their own damn oil, they're civilized people despite what they've gone through for so many years.
They aren't savages, they can handle the responsibility.
Give oil (that isn't ours) to Israel as a "bonus"?
Aren't we already giving them billions in aid, more than we give all other countries combined??
