I don't think they'll be comming after you Al... seeing as we're in Canada and all. But then... maybe it will be your fault if we get added to a list of "outposts of tyranny".

I don't know if this is a bad thing but those weapons and bomb making things I already know. You can thank both the anarchist and assasin handbooks for that. I would also like to thank the SAS mental conditioning handbook as well. If the department of homeland security was on the job they would see this post, arrest me for "participating" in subversive activities, not be able to prove anything, human right groups get on their case, get disbanded for failing to do their job and only being able to arrest a bored university student.

They're usually pretty careful. I think David was all broken up because he had made it possible for people to die from Spanish Flu, not through some technical error in handling.

Oh yeah, as research for when we lose our consciences and make billions on the ignorance of the masses (or at least, the masses of the ignorant), DNA Activation. Some lessons to be gleaned from this:

• Use consumer friendly, empowering words, and all-caps and exclamation marks whenever possible
  (eg. Unleash Your Genetic Potential NOW!)


• Never start with complete pseudo-science/bullshit. Always start with known scientific fact, and build bullshit on top of it
  (eg. In addition to each chromosome's 2 strand double helix of DNA, there are an additional 10 etheric strands of DNA available to each human, that have been de-activated and dormant since the beginning of recorded history.)


• Always offer your customers 'everything they want and more,' because only believable products offer everything
  (eg. You will go from using 10% of your brain to becoming a multi-dimensional being with psychic, telepathic, and manifestation abilities beyond anything you've ever dreamed of. )


• People always want to look/feel/act younger (except kids, but kids aren't dumb enough to buy your products anyway.) Take advantage of this fact at every turn
  (eg. Plus, you will stop the aging process and actually start to rejuvenate to look and feel YOUNGER.)


• "It has been said", "Some experts theorize", and "It's been shown" are powerful tools used to precede total bullshit that makes said bullshit believable.
  (eg. It has been written that Jesus had 12 strands of DNA activated.)
  -- note: this point is not unique to the pseudo-science industry (q.v. Cable news networks, political pundits.)


• Make your informational page long, so as to tire out anyone skeptical of your claims, thus preventing your unmasking as a complete bullshit artist

TEKA: I heard from Sandy and she says it's okay if we come late and that there'll probably be tons of food leftover since there are something like 17-20 people coming. She also said that a few of her other friends will be late due to night-classes anyway. Also, as for bringing food late or not, she said to do "whatever". Apparently the whole thing is pretty informal.

The Russian biochemist?!?
I thought it was David that released it in Denver by accident and the source was the frozen body.

Man, there is some bizarre stuff on this website:

www.totse.com

Everything from conspiracies, to alternative recreational drugs, to scams, to illegal activities, to making weapons and bombs, and even fucked up pornography. This site is a veritable treasure-trove of things you shouldn't know.

I'll check out both Flaunt and Dazed and Confused. But for me, I've only ever found 2 magazines to be worth my time:

1. Vice
2. Lodown

Any magazine that features a hot woman wearing nothing but cake and then subsequently eating said confectionary in the course of the next few pages is A-OK with me!

Fashion magazines? I don't follow any trend that a magazine shows. I follow the typical cookie cutter style that all generic asian guys like me should follow. All statements of fashion are assimilated within 5 minutes of appearing anywhere. By following a preset cookie cutter style I disappear into the crowd. Yeah!

yeah, Flaunt's, I suppose, a prototypical hipster-esque magazine, isn't it? I have buttons from one of their issues two years ago... or whenever it was before the U of A bookstore expanded into Subtitles' old space (the clothing section), they even had an article on graffiti and creating your own stencils... which you can see has sort-of caught on around campus - love the crows! It's got some pretty hot stuff in it. it's also kind arty... the last time I looked at it... but it was a while ago.

I also like blush for its lack of caring... it's a kickass magazine, also of the hipster-esque variety, that doesn't give a shit about sticking to appearances. Fashion spreads are of unknown people, or they're so non-mainstream in their intentions that it's obvious they don't want to be a part of the cosmo, glamour, vogue crowd while still diseminating information on all those 'normal' things like fashion, music etc. but in a way that the mainstream crowd wouldn't go for you know, the articles are the same topics, but instead of the mainstream-ized band, it's about Bjork... etc.

Bust is also good for that. hipster-esque and femmy.

note, two magazines to keep an eye out for:

flaunt magazine
dazed and confused magazine
