His language, he says, “hath at least ten several synonyms” for every word, as well as “a wonderful facility – in making anagrams”. It outdoes every language known since it has 11 genders, seven moods, ten cases and “four voices, although it was never heard that ever any language had above three”. The names of soldiers express their rank, and the names of stars contain in the syllables their latitude and longitude. It had 35 letters – he would rewrite the alphabet too – and “words expressive of herbs represent unto us with what degree of cold, moisture, heat or dryness they are qualified”.

If any shall further quæry why magneticall Philosophy excludeth decussations, and needles transversely placed do naturally distract their verticities? Why Geomancers do imitate the Quintuple Figure, in their Mother Characters of Acquisition and Amission, &c somewhat answering the Figures in the Lady or speckled Beetle? With what Enquiry, Chiromantical conjectures decry these decussations in the Lines and Mounts of the hand? What that decussated Figure intendeth in the medall of Alexander the Great? Why the Goddesses sit commonly crosse-legged in ancient draughts, since Juno is described in the same as a veneficial posture to hinder the birth of Hercules? If any shall doubt why at the Amphidromicall Feasts, on the fifth day after the Childe was born presents were sent from friends, of Polipusses, and Cuttle-fishes? Why five must be only left in that Symbolicall mutiny among the men of Cadmus? Why Proteus in Homer the Symbole of the first matter, before he setled himself int he midst of his Sea-monsters, doth place them out by fives? Why the fifth years Oxe was acceptable Sacrifice unto Jupiter? Or why the Noble Antonius in some sence doth call the soul it self a Rhombus? He shall not fall on trite or triviall disquisitions.

Fire Walk With Me was Twin Peaks’ missing head, and perhaps the cinemagoers of 1992 weren’t quite prepared to find it in the fridge, beside the fruit juice.

To see both points: suppose I’m choosing between an avocado sandwich and a hummus sandwich, and my prior was that I prefer avocado, but I’ve since tasted them both and gotten evidence that I prefer hummus. The choice that does best in terms of expected utility with respect to my prior for the decision problem under consideration is the avocado sandwich (and FDT, as I understood it in the paper, would agree). But, uncontroversially, I should choose the hummus sandwich, because I prefer hummus to avocado.

Jesus’ murder and death had severe repercussions, permanently dooming and cursing humanity from ascending to the Upper Domain. Abel’s Ark, one of U-DO’s two observational terminals (the other being Abel), appeared when Jesus died.

For example, Beach Party teased, “It’s what happens when 10,000 kids meet on 5000 beach blankets!” while Muscle Beach Party promised, “When 10,000 biceps go around 5,000 bikinis, you know what’s going to happen!”

Jungle Kitty – COCO CHANNEL Interview with Jungle Kitty – (“You’re very cool, too. I think we both need sweaters.”)

Judith Gran – COCO CHANNEL Interview with Judith Gran – (“What blew my mind about Kirk was this: Here was this guy who had absolutely awesome responsibility, who was out there on the edge of the universe exploring the unknown, running the best ship in the fleet, making life and death decisions, dealing with terror and tragedy and trying to uncover the most profound mysteries of the galaxy, and–he was plainly enjoying every minute of it. This goes back to that elemental joy that I saw in the character.”)

Skazitelnitsy – COCO CHANNEL Interview with Skazitelnitsy – (“It was the first time a story ever formed completely in my mind in one solid piece instead of as a series of individual scenes. At the time I thought, ‘Other people get visions of the Virgin Mary. Why do I get visions of Klingons going down on Chekov?’”)

Blissett dispelled all doubts on 30 June 2004, when he appeared on the British television sports show Fantasy Football League - Euro 2004, broadcast on ITV. During the whole show, Blissett intelligently joked and quipped about his own (alleged) involvement in the Luther Blissett Project. After host Frank Skinner read a line from the novel Q’s prologue (“The coin of the kingdom of the mad dangles on my chest to remind me of the eternal oscillation of human fortunes”), Blissett produced a copy of Luther Blissett’s Italian book Totò, Peppino e la guerra psichica (Toto, Peppino and the psychic war) and quoted extensively from it, in the original Italian: “Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett” (Anyone can be Luther Blissett simply by adopting the name Luther Blissett). At the end of the show, hosts and guests all said in unison: “I am Luther Blissett!” Two years later, highlights of this broadcast were posted on YouTube.
