Death

If death is heaven, 
that is enough for me... 
And if death is hell, 
oh well.

Zarathud's Enlightenment

(from Principia Discordia)

Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of his followers.

One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.

"Tell me, you dumb beast." demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile. What is your Purpose in Life, anyway?"

Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied "MU".*

Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened. Primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.

* "MU" is the Chinese ideogram for NO-THING

The Epoch

(al-asr The Noble Qur'an chapter 103)

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

By the declining day,

Lo! man is in a state of loss,

Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.
