Read, read, read!!!! education, imagination, humour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Zbigniew Brzezinski - the Grand Chessboard

Biggest surprise: Isis-Ra-Elohim only gets a passing mention twice in the book. Guess mr. "ex-"Security Advisor isn't entirely honest...

Extraordinary, and certainly one of the most valuable things written about Nietzsche. It's also the most lucid thing I've ever read from Heidegger.

Heidegger was a Very Bad Man. I'd much rather spend time with the kitten.

You're friends with Michael Zulli? Cool. He's one of my favourite of the artists that worked on Sandman.

Yessum, met him through Wishville and went over to stay with him in South Dakota (well Minnesota but you can spit across the state line from the back garden).

he's got a book coming out in Jan called 'The Fracture of the Universal Boy'
