Herein, I divulge SUPER SECRET arcane Stonecutter knowledge.

[lemonjello]

As most of you are not 99th degree Stonecutters like myself and probably don't even control your own household not to mention manipulating entire nations and planets I would like to give you a peak behind the curtain.

Many of you may have read or heard of the recent Stonecutter release - The DaVinci Semaphore - a book which was meant to help the whackos of the world self-identify and be drawn out of hiding so they could be more easily picked off. In it we divulged the SUPER SECRET that a lot of SUPER SECRETS are communicated by NUMERALS. That's right. NUMERALS.

Well here is an example from the Stonecutter's vault that I have permission to share with the great unwashed (you) -

If you divide the NUMERAL 22 by the NUMERAL 7 you can approximate the number for PI which has great SUPER SECRET significance.

Further, when the last digit of PI is finally written down the space people will come make Britney Spears Queen of Earth.

GASP!

Now let us repeat the Stonecutters sacred anthem -

Who controls the British Crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We Do! We Do!

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We Do! We Do!

Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We Do! We Do!

Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We Do! We Do!

Does Orange Osley have any meaning to you?

Sounds like you have WHOOFED one jello too many...Remember back in college when you got the 3x3 jello cube???...You put it on a spoon about an inch from your mouth...then you took a REALLY deep breath.

Does Orange Osley have any meaning to you?

Surely you mean Owsley, as in Owsley Stanley, the chemist who produced boatloads of high quality LSD in the 60's. He's now 71 years old and lives in Queensland, Australia. He's got a Web site. He's a strange cat.

It's been along time since I mentioned that name much less tried to remember how to spell it. But that's the guy. He was an icon in the 60's during that psychedelic period. I remember those little orange dots would come on 8" x 11" sheets. Hundreds of them on one of the sheets. People that had never indulged in the LSD experience would take a sheet into their hands just to check it out and the drug would rub off on their hands and the next thing they knew they were on a mind expanding trip. Timothy Leary became the presses celebrity and most well know in that craze but Owsley was the man behind the scenes. His product was the cleanest trip and then he and the dots disappeared. I'm going to have to check out his site. Rob, you are a veritable encyclopedia of little known information.

Once I went to see Pink Floyd in concert and animals came out of the speakers...

I witnessed an ordinary houseplant turn into a dragon after taking some heavy duty pain pills.

My most favorite musical group. We must have been at the same concert because I can remember those animals coming out of those speakers. Ernie, I knew there was a connection. Check out the site that Rob mentioned. Owsley was an still is a pretty intelligent personality, although somewhat prejudiced by his ingestion of his own product.

Personally I prefer to divide 355 by 113, but that's just me, I suppose.

Since we are talking about math...I was wondering if anyone could help me out here:

What's the geometrical meaning of the central extension of the algebra
of diffeomorphisms of the circle?

Thanks...IIC

I had a six-pack of beer yesterday, and I didn't see anything strange

What do you mean? African or European diffeomorphisms?

[Rob]

LOL! Good one, Jiesen! It's not a question of where he grips it! (If you get this reference, then you're as far gone as we are.)

Oh! I almost forgot! It's 6/6/06!

[Rob looks out the window ... ]

No fire raining down from heaven to report yet. Whew! How's it looking in your town?

[Karel]

Sunny, slightly overcast, no religious nutcakes.
