Today's Links

gower pointed me to Subservient Chicken. Okay, I get the impression that everyone else has already seen this, but I hadn't. It is disturbingly, surreally fun. If you haven't tried it, go there, and type in some commands. The concept is simple, but sublimely weird...


Today's highlights from Project Gutenberg:

The Sleeper Awakes (1899), by H.G. Wells. One of his works I didn't read when I was a kid -- interesting...

Sakoontala or The Lost Ring, an Indian Drama. Apparently an old Sanskrit work translated into English. Not obvious from a quick skim of the introduction how old the original is, but possibly interesting from a period POV.

The Principles of Masonic Law (1856), by Mackey. The definitive work on the subject, as I understand it. Possibly interesting for ideas in the Mysteries project, although I'm pretty sure that there are many base memes in Masonic Jurisprudence that are worth avoiding...

Okay, the Subservient Chicken link was new to me, and is quite bizarre. Even more bizarre was discovering that Burger King really is behind it.

It's referenced in Heinlein, isn't it? The Door Into Summer, I think.
