Sure but when it comes to texting (is that a verb now?) those Viking were all thumbs.

It was in 1942, the same year Parsons was appointed as head of the Agapé Lodge by Aleister Crowley (who himself had studied chemistry), that Parsons made the crucial breakthrough in the development of rocket solid fuel. Following intuition, Parsons switched from black powder to asphalt and potassium perchlorate

HA!


I forgot that Crowley and Hubbard knew of each other. I swear, one day I'm gonna make a mind-map of all the different cross-connections complete with the ideas they got from each other, and I have the strange feeling that that might finally blow my mind.

And create a very strange landscape that will at once provide amazing answers and inspire deep ancient fear.

inspire deep ancient fear.

mmmh, best incentive, ever. You know that when I see a button with a label saying "don't push, end of world", I'm not even gonna wait to see if someone watches me before I push, don't you?

"solved"

I've seen a few of Rodin's sculptures IRL, they are some of the most sensual pieces of art I ever encountered. Still - I prefer Camille Claudel's work, I'm not sure why. The only explanation that makes some sense to me is that her sculptures have something very feminine, whereas his are pure male. Check out this site:

Camille Claudel

They're showing some of Claudel's work.

Perspective - For that amount of money I could get two oz. of cocaine and a $1500 call girl.

[Ilyanna]

Exactly! Instead of taking all that cash and indulging in some classy, well-tried ways, people nowadays think it's hip to drink something that came out of a cat's ass.
Wait a minute. I am sensing a business opportunity in here somewhere - come, kitty kitty kitty...
