Welcome to the secret page
Well I hope that you at least know enough
to load all of my great backgrounds!
I have decided to dedicate this
page to cool parts that I will take out of one of the books I got for Christmas
The Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy. The following is from said book written
Robert Anton Wilson. Let us begin...
HOBBYSHEET #4 in a
series of 30. Collect 'em all!
A SIMPLE ATOMIC BOMB FOR
THE HOME CRAFTSMAN
- There is nothing complex about an Atomic (or
Fission) Bomb. If enough fission material (Uranium 235 or Plutonium 237)
is brought together to form a critical mass, it will explode. The trick
is to put the pieces together fast enough to get a decent blast before
the bomb blows itself apart. This can be done quite simply be means of
ordinary explosive as shown below. (p 9)
Okay, okay, I don't have the graphic, but
I do think that this is information that every average person needs to
know. By the way from now on my words on this page will be in italics,
and those from the book will be in regular type. I hope I haven't comfused
anyone already.
As of Jan 2 1997 I have finished the book.
One of the strangest peices of prose that it has ever been my pleasure
to peruse. To tell you the truth, I didn't think that the author could
fit that much sex, alcohol, and drug abuse into a discussion of Quantum
Mechanics. This page is going to be lots and lots of fun, trust me...
- The Warren Belch Society had been founded after
Cotex (Clem) had been kicked out of the Fortean Society for having bizarre
notions. The purpose of "the Belchers" (as Cotex jovially called
them}was to invrestigate those aspects of scientific theory and those alleged
occult events which were regarded as "too far out" by the unimaginative
Forteans, who were willng to investigate UFOs, rains of crabs and fish,
girls who might have turned into swans, and similar matters, but like their
founder, the late Charles Fort, drew the line at dogs that said "Good
morning" and then vanished in a puff of green smoke. (p 66)
What did I tell you? This sets up one of the
twenty or so different plot lines in this book that are randomly mixed
together for just such an effect. This runs as a surprising parallel to
some of the views about randomness in quantum mechanics such that I think
that the totally unpredictable nature of the book is an illustration of
what the author thinks of quantum mechanical problems.
- Since a great deal of primate behavior was considered
just awful, most of the domesticated primates spent most of their time
trying to conceal what they were doing.
- Some of the primates got caught by other primates.
All of the primates lived in dread of getting caught.
- Those who got caught were called no-good shits.
(p 15)
How civilized are we? What is civilized? for a bunch of
"evolved primates there is much strife over what is acceptable and what is not.
Just to see how many people got here I have a counter on this page too.
