    This is a reality test.  If you aren't reading this, you don't exist,
    and vice versa.

    This is a sanity check, if you are reading this you must be  ????????
    or not <:)

    What a testy subject.

    Did you pass?

    re: .7,
    	They didn't say they were testing themselves.  Maybe it was
    a test of our response.  They person from Masking Passdown might
    have spread a wild story about how if you put an out-of-context
    message at random in DEJAVU, it seeds conversation from the 
    bizarre inhabitants therein.
    
    	I'd say we passed.  :-)

    For those who do not cram their heads full of esoteric trivia, the
    explanation for this obscure statement follows the form-feed.

    Erich Weiss was the birth name of Harry Houdini, the magician and
    investigator of the claims of mediums, who promised to attempt to
    communicate from "the other side" after his death.

RE: .14

    I *LIKE* people whose heads are stuffed full of esoteric trivia --
    after all I did catch the reference.  OK, who else related to the brother
    who collected facts in The "Wrong Box"?  Raise your hands.  Anyone who
    sympathised with his unappreciative audiences, go sit in the corner.
    (Anyone who hasn't seen this film *at least* once, should leave the
    classroom and sign up immediately for "Remedial Obscure but Important
    Culture 101"; it will be shown next week on a double bill with
    "Bedazzled"; tapes of the Goon Show will be assigned as homework).

    Sorry, I'm not teachiing that class.  (They can be gotten, though).

RE: .22

    You missed the courses in elementary, intermediate and advanced
    carphology.  These are particularly important, since students
    frequently find themselves involved with applied carphology whether or
    not they have taken the courses.

			    Topher

>     carphology
    
    	The science of creating 3-D laser images of Gefilte Fish balls ?
    	Or was that Carpholography ?

    No, that's carpolography (not to be confused with carpology which has
    nothing to do with fish ... well, verly little anyway).  That class had
    to be dropped from the curriculum because of an "active cod".

				Topher

    re: .27 (Todd)
    
          Todd, an active cod is one that hasn't been restrained
    by a cod-piece.

    Re "cod":
    
    Means that you pay for the item when it's delivered by the postal
    employee or shipper.

Now, now boys, enough talk about trouser trout!!!! REALLY!

Namasthe,
Altraea

    Actually, I heard that the class was dropped because the "active cod"
    baited, errr, that is 'bated' the teacher after class.  A relationship 
    ensued and eventually it became the talk of the "school".  :-)

    Uh oh.  Somebody get a net and some cold water, huh ?,

    re: .35 (Todd)
    
         Carpulating?  I didn't know carpet laying was added to this
    esteemed curriculum.

	Naaaaw, Toddy

	Freddie won't carpool....!  He has a truck he drives to work....

	\')

    Ok, so what is carphology, anyway, Topher ?
    
    	I found carpology (study of fruits and veggies), and carping
    	(fault-finding), but no carphology.
    
    	Is it the study of finding fault with others or what ?
    	I'm already an expert in that, I should at least know
    	what it's called.  ;-)

RE: .38 (todd)

>    Ok, so what is carphology, anyway, Topher ?

    For those who give up easily, the answer follows the form-feed.

    Carphology is semiconscious or delerious plucking at bedclothes by
    someone in a state of exhaustion or fever.  It comes from a Latin word
    meaning to pull straw or twigs out of a mud wall.

    I swear I'm not making this up -- you'll find it in at least some
    unabridged dictionaries.

				    Topher

    We've gotten far off base, haven't we? I thought this was a pyschic
    group, not an overly horny one! I would like info on tarot card readers
    in Southern NH or nearby MA towns.  Maybe some info on astrology for
    babies (predicting birth signs). Am new to the Notes group. Please
    respond!

>    We've gotten far off base, haven't we? I thought this was a pyschic
    
    	Ok, that does it.  Physic, Psysic, and now pyschic.  And I got
    	flamed for (subtle) misuse of the word 'paradigm.'  At least I
    	spelled it rite (I think ?).
    	
    	There are a couple Notes in here dedicated to Tarot help, and
    	several on Astrology.  This happens to be a Note dedicated
    	to horny psychics, esoterica trivialists, and bedclothes
    	pluckers.  Sorry you got the wrong (?) impression.
    
    	There's a fair amount on related topics already in here.
    	A little something that might be helpful in general with information 
    	searches and posting requests of this type :
    
    		DIR/TITLE=TAROT would list the Notes with Tarot in the
    		title.  
    
    		DIR/TITLE=ASTRO would list the Notes with Astro(logy)
    		in the title.   
    
    		good luck with your search !

    re: .42 and .44
    
         Regarding horny psychics...why would anyone ever think that to
    be "woo-woo" or spiritual or any other way necessarily precludes at
    least some fascination with the reproductive glands?  I have been
    "interested" my whole life, I have become far more of what I would
    term "enlightened" and though I may not be overly psychic, I would
    be more than happy to admit to being horny quite often.
         So there!

  I think that's what they're getting at ... I predict a Sagittarius at
  this rate ...
  
  Frank

    Am I the only one confused here?  With all this talk of horny physics, 
    cod balls and birth signs I got confused.  Didn't the base note say
    something about a teste?

    Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm as horny as the next person! Thanks for
