psychoceramics: misc: The Prism

[Andrew C Bulhak <acb @ cs.monash.edu.au>]

  From the recent _News of the Weird_:

   * A 64-year-old Dade City, Fla., man accused by authorities in
   March of fathering at least one, and perhaps all nine, of his 44-
   year-old sister's children recently had his trial postponed until
   early 1996.  The man, identified only as William, warned
   authorities that prosecuting him will doom society because he
   needs six more months to finish up his work on "the prism" (a
   wooden table with a hole in the middle in which William stands),
   which he promised would enable him harness all the world's
   energy to control the weather, end the fighting in Bosnia, and
   make the state's child welfare office obsolete.  Said William, the
   prism is "the only way humanity will get out of limbo." [Tampa
