Five was the number of Love (uniting Two, was also the symbol of Health (Hygeia) and Harmony?” With female, number, and Three, the first odd, male, number); I it the Pentad or Five was associated its geometrical symbol, the Pentazram or Pentalpha (five interlinked A’s). And a passage of Lucian (“On Slips in Greeting”) informs us that the pentagram was the secret sign of brotherhood between the Pythagoreans.? The importance of this symbol and of the constructions related to it, all based on the Golden Section, and kept jealously as the most important mathematical secret of the Fraternity, is underlined by a reference in Iamblichus (Life of Pythagoras) : “Hippasus who was a Pythagorean but, owing to his being the first to publish and write down the construction of the sphere from 12 pentagons (the construction of the dodecahedron), perished by shipwreck for his impiety, but received credit for the discovery, whereas this really belonged to HIM (Pythagoras).” Hippocrates of Chios is reported to have been expelled from 1 The students of the Chinese Pa-Kua or Fight Magic Trigrams, will recognise an identical conception, curiously justified by the modern theory of Chromosomes and Genes.

If Five was the Number of Love, Seven was the Virgin Number. We have seen that the he dumperot be divided into seven parts by a rigorous Construction. A neo-Pythazorean manuscript of the French “Bibliothèque

Nationale” states? “g revie vanos. o êxtra raedévos.” This is confirmed the Scholium 609 to Aristophanes’ Clouds.

As the official organ of the department in charge of the security of the fatherland, mother fucker, we have been assigned the credentials by good god almighty — bow you head and bless yourself — to root into your fundamentals, just to see if there are any hints of deviation. 

First off we would like to sound out your frequencies. Could you hum along to this recording of the dispatch of the tattooed man by the hairy woman.

Watch what the webcam shows. He was first on the scene and on her like an amoeba. “If you can’t join ’em, lick ’em,” he said, half in jest, but half not. Join ’em with an em dash and an en space. Lick ’em lickety split, first across the post.

As you may be well aware, all the serious critics of our project have disappeared. We make no bones about it, they were but small potatoes. Those who rooted around have also disappeared. Are there any further questions?

He was busted looking at dirty pictures. He chanced upon the girlie magazines in the gutter outside the maternity ward. He who jeopardized his family jewels now seeks a handout. 

Harry Nape was born this day in the year of our Lord. He made his fortune in barbers’ shears. His latter years were consumed by his mania to create a robotic barber. His ideas were based on vacuum cleaner technology. Testing on a volunteer sample in Saudia Arabia showed some shortcomings. After consulting the standard texts on phrenology, Nape developed the model that we know today.

Socrates was born ugly.  Many sources attest to his awkward physical appearance, and Plato more than once makes reference to it (Theaetetus 143e, Symposium, 215a-c; also Xenophon Symposium 4.19, 5.5-7 and Aristophanes Clouds 362).  Socrates was exophthalmic,  his eyes bulged out of his head and were not straight but focused sideways.  He had a snub nose, which made him resemble a pig, and many sources depict him with a potbelly.

Thirty thousand litres of raw sewage flooded the basement of the Domo Furniture Emporium during World Youth Day last July. Seven thousand portable toilets were emptied en masse after the final mass by the Pope. The mass attracted 800,000 pilgrims, and was conducted on land owned by the Department of National Defence. As is usual in military and religious inquiries, the task of assigning blame is complex. But a committee of elders has put the onus on the Pope him-or-her-self, and imposed a fine of a hoghead of holy water. In default, five qubits of upstream unction.

I’ll sing you twelve.

Twelve for a dozen cosmonauts
Of whom eleven went to heaven.

Ten for ten Comanches
Nine hung with a noose with thirteen twists.

Eight for April’s foolish
Blessed by the brothers and sisters of fate.

Seven for the six brownshirts
And their high-five symbols at your door.

Four for the bakers of Jesus,
and the quakers of the compass rose.

One, two, three, the rivals.
Do not cross the great water.

Two lily-white boys clothed in green.

DOS bedoyna.
