This I like.  But then again, I'm also a Timecube fan.

To me, it sounds kindof like Scientology, if Hubbard was hopped on LSD instead of barbiturates.

How did he get such nice underlines with a typewriter? (Ignoring the question of where said typewriter even came from).

That is some crazy capitalization.

Insert Tri-Lam joke here.

Yes, we are all slaves to the Forbidden Dance.

I know Ray is wearing a news print suit, but where's his tin foil hat?

Did you ever find video or audio of Gene Ray's talk at MIT?  I heard about it, but couldn't ever find video or a transcript.

My cousin, achewood reader and aspiring mechanic, sent me this...

"Lambda," where I come from, is the Greek letter used to represent the international standards for air/fuel ratios in internal combustion engines.  For example, Lambda for a gasoline powered four cycle engine--almost all automobiles--is 14.7:1, or stochiometry.

lambda is used for lots of things in math and science. LISP computer code uses it as a means of returning a functional argument. In phisics it is often used to represent wavelength variables or constants, such as the electron compton wavelength, which is 2.43x10^-12 meters. In linear algebra it is used for eigenvalues. basically it is just a letter.

I always picked Pat for the "write ranty manifestos about angels and cosmic rays" type, not Ray, but let's see where this goes.

Nah, everywhere that said that used to have it up had taken it down due to its apparent runaway popularity.  I find that restores a bit of my faith in humanity.

This is awesome. I've known people with bizarre theories exactly like this.
