Some Odds And Ends

In  no particular order and varying degrees of significance.

Now the wording “Pi begins with 3.14” has been used.  Well big deal.  Lots of numbers begin with 3.14.  314,000/999=3.14314314314314 begins with 3.14 and has oodles (infinite) 314s in it.  The significance of THEOREMS=113 and MOOK show that GEOMETRY is just another word, and Pi and all the related gibberish has no special meaning.  It’s no better than trying to attribute special meaning to 444, there’s never been any valid correlation to Pi and secret society shenanigans.

And if you scroll down through the article.  He used the stolen funds to buy a DRONE.  A $7,700 drone.  There’s no mention if this drone was invisible or had a cloaking device attachment.  Interesting that this story hits just as American baseball season gets going.e
The Etsy price of Hubbard’s book is going up.  Not having any formal education in economics I had to look up the given reason for the increase.  Sluggish sales.  Faith in logic was restored as generally you consider lowering your price when sales are slow.  Faith in people’s lack of paying attention was restored as Forbes magazine shows that often in the absence of obvious quality differences consumers  will use a higher price as a tiebreaker of sorts.  It must be better if it costs more, or a status symbol.  So this book is better than all the other clones of the book.

The stories are riddled with the word RIDDLE a lot.  It took me too long to figure out how to word my thoughts on its usage.  Sorry.  A riddle is a reverse tribute.  For example, for an indeterminate amount of time after Super Bowl 52, the number 52 appearing is a tribute or ritual to Super Bowl 52. For an equally indeterminate amount of time before Super Bowl 53, the number 53 appearing is a possible Super Bowl 53 riddle.  These clues are documented so you can claim victory if anything remotely related to the riddle appears to an indeterminate time closer to Super Bowl 53 when the riddle was first announced.  So, a half assed way of predicting that’s easier to ignore when you’re wrong.  It was only a riddle, I didn’t say that it meant the Bears were going to win.  Dan has lots of riddles and clues.  He should hire a detective.

There’s another casualty to the list of links off the FTFM blog.  It’s not totally gone, and actually I don’t remember if this was on the list when I last discussed the broken links.  The DECODING SPORTS blog is only open by invitation.  There’s not much point to having a link that has access limited only to exclusive members who already should know where the source material is.

A couple of things came to my attention about the golf magnets story.  A friend suggested that the metal golf clubs were absent.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’m guessing the weight would make it less impacted than the smaller devices in the post.  And wood instead of metal would easily be incorporated into the hoax.  Hearing aids are another medical device subject to magnets.  And as for my pacemaker calculation of 17 people being generously low, add that there’s more likely to be pacemakers among an elderly, affluent golf crowd than a third world impoverished child who can’t afford a bowl of rice much less an expensive medical procedure.

The adventure puzzle solving game Thimbleweed Park has significant conspiracy theory content.  The main investigators are purposefully parodies of Mulder and Scully.  If you want to use your brain it’s a solid choice and I recommend it.  It’s from the same people that created Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders and Monkey Island.

I seem to remember a Hubbard Cavs prediction for NBA champions, but there’s not been word lately and the entire prediction manufacturing machinery hasn’t done anything since college hoops.  If that is still the official line, from a purely not rigged sports perspective it doesn’t look good.

ASIAN= 91 in reverse ordinal.  CAUCASIANS = 91 in ordinal.  Remember ILLUSIONS.  Plurals count.  It really looks bad for racial significance being given to numbers with all the options available.  Reference: One For The Rednecks.

Shmacks makes a good point.  Why are you asking for input on what videos to make on your blog instead of the people who paid for the subscription and can actually watch them?  I get the idea that putting this same message on Patreon could clue them in to missing out on videos if they haven’t signed up.  Probably wasn’t the best idea to call the free loaders “fucking worthless”.

Speaking of riddles and clues and Dan.  Buckle up, because we’re in for a ride.  There’s been some standbys like buses, bridges, eagles, still some twins stuff.  But there’s a new one.  Cheese.  We’ve already been hit with Swiss, Muenster and a Wisconsin riddle.  Do you know how many Edam, sorry, damn types of cheese there are?  Like 1,800.  Even if he just sticks to Muenster and starts playing the “that reminds me of monster” game this is going to be a staple of his posts for a loooooongggg time.
