    This reminds me of the time my tacky stepmom (Ms Twee Cow Stencils and Gingham 1989) tried to sell the heirloom bedroom furniture that my Mother had. For exactly $500. So I gave her a cheque for $550, carted the stuff away, and put a stop payment on the cheque.

    PS Hi Loretta!

    A teenage boy's 8 year old furniture? For $500? Big no thanks, Nancy. And after giving $10 million to that cult you would think she would have gotten a nice tax write-off and wouldn't have to resort to selling used furniture through mass e-mail.

    Nancy - give it to a needy family or to charity. I bet the cleaning woman who's dusted it the past few years would love it. LIke you need the @#$*@# money.

    With what she gets per hour, just taking photos and writing it up was probably more than $500.

    In reply to Xenophon v. Xenu: The Galactic Battle for Australia's Soul
    For what it's worth:

    'Xenophon' means 'speaker of a foreign language'. Xenu means foreigner, and as we all know, foreigners and aliens are the same thing.

    (Really: 'foreign', 'strange', and 'alien' are all conceptually identical).

    'Thetans' are another Hellenism used by Hubbard to "science" up his "religion". The word 'Thetan' has nothing to do with the Greek Theta (although you will read this), but is rather riffing on the Attic Greek verb tithenai - to place or to set - and is directly related to the word 'Thete', a kind of ancient Greek serf who was 'set' on the land he worked, much as Thetans are 'set' into human bodies. Or whatever.

    Finally, Hubbard's ill-coined neologism, 'Scientology', is what it is because he was forced to affix the Latinate 'scien-' to the Greek -ology: the Greek word for 'the study of knowledge' (which is what "Scientology" is supposed to mean of course) that suggests itself to anyone with even a smattering tou hellenikou is 'Epistemology', and Hubbard at least knew enough to know that he couldn't get away with calling his "religion" epistemology.

    Down With Scientology!!
    Up With Philology!! #xenu
