84 members? really?

[mrmontie]

must have a bunch of spies lurking in the shadows with that many. I'm onto you!

[Berin Kinsman]

Yeah, lurkers and once-and-done visitors.

[Sir Golgotha, KEoPS]

Maybe they're just shy. It's okay, little lurker, you can come out and play. We don't bite--often. And I assure you we've all had our shots. Even Dr. Checkmate.

[Vulcan Stev]

Who shot Dr. Checkmate?

[mrmontie]

turns out it was Maggie.

[Hank Harwell]

Alas, poor Dr. Checkmate. I knew him, Horatio. He was a man of infinite jest...

[Cameron Goble]

If indeed Dr Checkmate was ever truly alive ...

[Lindylane]

Lurk, lurk, lurk...

[Berin Kinsman]

[Sir Golgotha, KEoPS]

O noes!!@ Look at the digital root!

Eight plus six is fourteen. Add the one to the four and you get five.

Five!

That explains everything.

Its the PENTAVIRATE!

Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?

Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?

Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

man I love the internet sometimes. I was vaguely considering getting So I married an Axe Murderer from the library just to watch the 5 minutes worth of the movie where Myers plays his obnoxious father.

Thanks to youtube, i dont have to.

[Sir Golgotha, KEoPS]

I have often wondered how much of SIMaAM was really just an excuse for Myers to do those jokes.


Pentavirate, see? It's the holy Rule of Fives.

THE INSIDE STORY! The Law of Fives

The Law of Fives is one of the oldest Erisian Mysterees. It was first revealed to Good Lord Omar and is one of the great contributions to come from The Hidden Temple of The Happy Jesus.

POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar's sect. And POEE also recognizes the holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.

The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.

The Law of Fives is never wrong.

In the Erisian Archives is an old memo from Omar to Mal-2: "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."
