HEED THE MYSTIFYING ORACLE (for ent. purp. only)

OtherMichael — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:44:38 GMT

http://www.museumoftalkingboards.com/ The term "talking board" is the generic name for a message board with numbers, letters, and a movable message indicator. The message indicator, touched lightly by one or more persons, slides or pivots along the surface of the board to spell out words. Hence, the name "talking board." There is debate about whether the messages come from supernatural entities or are some form of psychological phenomenon originating from the players. Boards using pendulums, fixed spinners, or rolling balls, are not technically "talking boards" although they may have the same effect. Talking boards are also referred to as Ouija boards, witch boards, spirit boards, oracle boards, and most recently, channeling boards. The name "Ouija" is a registered trademark for Parker Brothers' William Fuld Talking Board Set. ( http://www.museumoftalkingboards.com/Witchboard.html ) check out this eye-boggler: http://www.museumoftalkingboards.com/ziriya.html Who knew that Dr. Bronner designed a Ouija board?!!! an excellent example of "Hyperbolic Bronnerism" (see also http://www.xradiograph.com/WordSalad/HyperbolicBronnerism )

http://www.boingboing.net/2009/02/12/hindu-extremists-pro.html The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India's biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it. Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink – called "gau jal", or "cow water" – in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year". "Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins." The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS – which was founded in 1925 and now claims eight million members – to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.

ballardian shredders

OtherMichael — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:56:53 GMT

http://nofearofthefuture.blogspot.com/2008/12/some-ballardian-economic-indicators.html "Among the most persistent memes in the work of J.G. Ballard is the image of the empty swimming pool. Often grouped with another common cosy catastrophe trope that runs throughout Ballard's science fictions, the abandoned hotel. Ruins of the future, apocalypses of the present, Ozymandian fragments of our entropic imminence, these totems have some serious metaphoric oomph. So it is always a pleasure to see these potent cultural signs show up in the mainstream press, as in today's New York Times. On the front page, just below the fold, is a feature on the proliferation of empty swimming pools as the result of home foreclosures in the American Southwest. A bummer for the homeowners, but a boon for some — for semiotically illuminated cultural weather-watchers and, more pragmatically, for skateboarders, who scour websites for foreclosure data like surfers watching the morning breaker reports, then head out with their boards, look for the foreclosure notices on the front door, and jump the fence, turning every suburban block into their own pre-apocalyptic pirate utopia." photo source: http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/3079/absence-of-water-by-gigi-cifali-polar-inertia-june-08.html
