Horror Scope – Virgo 17th September


Every time a bell rings sound waves emanate from the bell and if they bounce off the workings of the ear the soundwave is converted into electrical charges that the brain converts into what may or may not be the sound of a bell ringing.

Culture of Illusion – Got to Love a Hater.


I just have a soft spot for this glorious psychopath so I thought I would share a little observation about him with you all:

Diego_de_Landa
CLICK AT WHERE I AM LOOKING! YEAH! EXACTLY THERE!

’We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction.’

History, being full of ironies as it is, continues with this fine fellow:

Bishop Diego de Landa Calderón, whilst responsible for a great deal of destruction of Mayan art and literature, due to the assiduous nature of his recording of that destruction, is also our major source for the very thing he was spending much of his time destroying. Oh irony, hold me close, keep me warm in the dark watches of the night.
