Dont tell me your ag
Mel emailed this
mathematical koan
we all quite like it !
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a
falsehood anyway-but the Hershey Man will know
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked
it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's
fun!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that
you would like to have chocolate
(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the
calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add
1756 ....
If you haven't, add 1755.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were
born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each
week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL

Q: Is Hearing Same As Seeing - Visionwise?
BACKGROUND
microbes have an overall sensory awareness of themselves and their turf.. as time passes Life begins to express complexity by 'differentiation' (evolution).. this simply means that, in the case of PERCEPTION, the diffuse awareness becomes specifically focused through specialist organs of sense.. the ramifications of this (apply the: 'as above, so below' formula) are astonishing! for example, use this sequence of simple-to-complex on your personal model of astronomy? and thought? also a calander? it must be said that THE RETURN, where complexity begins to simply again is of much importance on any bonnie Quest! :)
A: Yes (& no)

starryknight.. Unleash Your BEAST!!!!
Q
What actually is a 'Questing Beast' anywise SK?
SK:
i have recently received a flood of emails regarding my exposure of 'rogue groups' on Psi-Net (What IS 'Psi-Net'? - coming to haiku junkyard soon!-ed). there follows my response to these concerns..
A
'Questing Beast' is.. 'any personified trans-personal challenge which persists in remaining elusive, but which is monstrous in it's implications and NEVER polite (a prime sign!)'.
Q
What should I do if I catch one?
A
Kill it! If this worries you, we provide a *FREE* service here at haiku junkyard (we get to keep skin, teeth & any horns!).

TRUE STORY (though somewhat embellished):
| From: "John" Date: Fri Apr 7, 2006 10:37 am Subject: how i drew a 6 of snowdrops (and lived to a tell tale!) | john364507  Offline Send Email |
a merry meet by monitor light to all circumspect bonniebonnets.. CONFESSION: last year i challenged the USA magical community to send forth their very best champions for a transatlantic-ish magical duel. UK, N.Europe & er, Canada to be represented by myself. i set up a 'kill zone' (no 'yield' option) and a simple start score: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: UK: 1 [first point for initiative] US: 0 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: there was a certain interest which amounted to sniffing around the combat arena, and a bit of shield bashing and sword rattling on surrounding hills.. but, NOBODY DARED ENTER THE KILL ZONE!!!!

starryknight quests.. THE BEAST!!!!

in response to a snotty email from a 'moderator' at sciFAIKu i gushed as follows:
Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2006 19:05:19 +0100 (BST) From: "John" <johnboy_home@btinternet.com> Add to Address Book Subject: Re: EXHIBIT A: vanity fare? To: "andreajaneg" <andreajaneg@yahoo.com>
hi andre :)
firstly, my own errend is to convey information that illustrates possible useful patterns of social truth which have proven their worth in some way. how others choose to react to this process is very much part of it.. so 'until executed' my work is not complete.
secondly, as i explore (to teach and learn) in the wonderful worlds of haiku i respond in kind. the sillyness and conceit of some and the fiddling and deleting of organic themes was interesting here as i had never come across this outside of a zoo. naturally one responds with heuristic purpose?
thirdly, always remember this.. only in a fight to the death (ok, with a yield option) is excellence achieved - like starryknights questing forevertomorrow.
finally, whatever you choose to do to avoid magical-reality-in-art (so to say) is fine, as explained all this is to do with returning art to its origins as a tool of 'primitive' psi-technology (shamanic and religious, quite real, magic).
ps: i may use this history on some of my blogs and explore the subject more deeply with others, so that's me learning something that would never have been learned but for the history described :) obviously, as a courtesy, i will post your links beside any pieces that take off at the world haiku club or whatever.
yes, an interesting subject, and --johnboy (all my good-hearted friends and admirers insist in calling me this because they know it infuriates me to the point of boredom:)
have a nice life...
and thanks for all the fish!
i was kicked out! :)))

wow!
at the ancient pond
a frog plunges into
the sound of water
our ubiquitous:) leaping frog enters a *sound dimension* (this spin makes it magic) ~ image this portal and respond with an aquaiku in honour of mad basho? (who, apparently, ate live frogs as part of his act - conscripts would be trained to jump through little woven flower hoops into his open mouth whereby he would swallow them whole and later re-cycle them quite alive & kicking!)
