Re: psychoceramics: Invited to be a Kook

[n--@b--.edu (N.A.F. McNelly)]

Alas, I've been taken to task by a number of people for not
accepting the invitation to join Zecharia Sitchin et al. in
loonhood.  I confess I am tempted, but 2 things stop me:

(1) In spite of the fact that they expect attendees to shell
out $1,500 each (not including airfare), what they offer me in
the way of expenses is nada, zip, zilch.

(2)  I see myself endlessly saying to a bunch of True Believers
(who else would pay $1500 for this?), "Look, the Tablet of the
96 Glyphs is a straight-forward geneaology of the rulers of Palenque.
No, it doesn't say 'houses made of the Moon's excrement (1) came from
the sky, and the creatures within them taught us the miracle of
screw-top jars (2)'."

(1) Any grey metal was considered by the ancient Maya to be Moon feces.
(2) They really did invent screw-top jars (made entirely of clay!)
