lenses are made of "elements" or simply layers (as an onion would be) the "penguin concept" is the housing of telescope machanics inside, and the lens is exposed to weather conditions.

When you 'close up' a spyglass or a telescope, you might say it resembles an onion with layers; one end has a smaller diameter than the other end. so? if you have two eyes to see and one or two lenses, each a lens or mirror of incidence, you still have the property of the space between, which is debatable. didn't iaap show a glass lens or ball a few times early on? strange flicks....

Sometimes, a classical Latin word was kept along side a Vulgar Latin word. In Vulgar Latin, classical caput, "head", yielded to testa (originally "pot") in some forms of western Romance, including French and Italian. But Italian, French and Catalan kept the Latin word under the form capo, chef, and cap which retained many metaphorical meanings of "head", including "boss". The Latin word with the original meaning is preserved in Romanian cap, together with ţeastă, both meaning 'head' in the anatomical sense. Southern Italian dialects likewise preserve capo as the normal word for "head". Spanish and Portuguese have cabeza/cabeça, derived from *capetia, a modified form of caput, while testa was retained in Portuguese as the word for "forehead". Overall, this demonstrates a common pattern observed in many circumstances -- peripheral dialects tend to be more conservative in some cases than central dialects.www.answers.com/topic/vulgar-latin

I don't know if 'close up' is the right way to describe what I meant to say. On one end of a spyglass or telescope, you have a very small, circular eye-piece and the other end has a very large circular lens. Put a hand on each end and press them together to make the spyglass fit in your pocket and you might see the concentric circle pattern that you see in an onion's horizontal cross section. An onion's vertical cross section looks more like a typical lens. Look at the concentric circle cross section of the onion, imagine that you pinch the smallest center circle with your fingers and pull it upwards, similar to a spyglass. Of course, you'd have to imagine that the onion's layers were all connected. Tunnel vision? Wormhole?

interesting info on pearls, also APPENDIX V A FEW OF THE PRINCIPAL CORRESPONDENCES OF THE QABALAH. Pearl. :The Twilight of the Place, :: : : Magic Mirror. sumscorp.com/kavai/newmethods/pages/keyword.php?KeywordID=6054&action=showDefinitions In China the Flaming Pearl was associated with both the supreme spirit and with Kshitagarbha. The flaming pearl was often seen as a metaphor or symbol of spiritual perfection. In Taoism the flaming pearl is linked with the Primordial Heavenly Worthy. holds flaming pearl symbolizing creation of the Universee A pair of dragons chasing a round red object is often represented in Chinese art. The round object is variously described as the sun, the moon, the symbol of thunder rolling, the egg emblem of the dual influences of nature, or the pearl of potentiality. The pearl, chu in Chinese, is one of the Pa-Pao, or Eight Treasures, and a symbol of good augury. The magic wonder-working pearl is also one of the Sapta Ratna, or Seven Treasures, representing the paraphernalia of a Buddhist Chakravartin, or universal sovereign. The pearl is believed to be a charm against fire and is also very important in Buddhism, where it is referred to as cintamani and is seen as an emblem of the Bodhisattva Kshitigarba, who is represented as holding a precious pearl. A flaming pearl as a symbol of the Buddhist doctrine is also found on the tops of pagodas and Buddhist reliquaries. One Chinese legend also states it is an enormous magical pearl with the power to multiply whatever it touches. In ancient China it was believed to symbolize wisdom, the most precious treasure of all, as well as genius and good fortune. The flaming pearl is also seen as the moon or rolling thunder. In Buddhism, the Dragon Pearl symbolizes enlightenment and spiritual essence, and, as guardian of the flaming pearl, the dragon is the symbol of spiritual perfection and power. man on a flaming piPearl Harbor PI (pacific islands)

Of course, you'd have to imagine that the onion's layers were all connected. Tunnel vision? Wormhole? `Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); `now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!' (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off). ...... I'm crying I'm crying, I'm crying...
.......As she said these words her foot slipped, and in another moment, splash! she was up to her chin in salt water. Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea, `and in that case I can go back by railway,' she said to herself. (Alice had been to the seaside once in her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go to on the English coast you find a number of bathing machines in the sea, some children digging in the sand with wooden spades, then a row of lodging houses, and behind them a railway station.) However, she soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high. `I wish I hadn't cried so much!' said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. `I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! That WILL be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer to-day.' Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at first she thought it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself. ...................... This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again. In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself. Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, `One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.' `One side of WHAT? The other side of WHAT?' thought Alice to herself. `Of the mushroom,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight. Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question. However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand. `And now which is which?' she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot! She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit. Note the piece missing from the edge...and that the klaatu mushroom is in the same place as the hookah/caterpillar on the Pepper cover The Duchess? ....Chapter 6 , Pig and Pepper...

'How am I to get in?' asked Alice again, in a louder tone. 'Are you to get in at all?' said the Footman. 'That's the first question, you know.'

I think the hookah on Pepper would be sitting on top of the mushroom from Klaatu.. Which would be freakin' amazing. Well, I'd have to superimpose, and I suspect it's not precisely on the money.. but very close. Possibly points back to Pepper AND Alice.. wow..

PortmanteauQuote- The usage of the word 'portmanteau' in this sense first appeared in Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking-Glass (1871), in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in Jabberwocky
* "‘slithy’ means ‘lithe and slimy’... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word" * "‘Mimsy’ is ‘flimsy and miserable’ (there's another portmanteau ... for you)". Carroll uses the word again when discussing lexical selection: Humpty Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all. For instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furious." Make up your mind that you will say both words ... you will say "frumious." Carroll suggests here a double metaphor: the original meaning of the word 'portmanteau' is a form of suitcase (which supports the idea that meanings can be 'packed' into it), and the word 'portmanteau' is itself a 'portmanteau word', deriving from the two French words porter (to carry) and manteau (cloak or mantle). See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied.I'm crying. Snied- a portmanteau of cried and sneezed? Like the pig/baby (another portmanteau of sorts) the Duchess was nursing? Sneezing/crying from the pepper the cook put into everything? I am the Eggman-Humpty Dumpty of course-a Looking Glass tie... 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. Jubjub = Goo Goog Goo Joob?

Mantle \Man"tle\, v. i. the layer of the earth between the crust and the core To unfold and spread out the wings, like a mantle; -- said of hawks. Also used figuratively. To spread over the surface as a covering; to overspread; shelf that projects from wall above fireplace; "in Britain they call a mantel a chimneypiece" To cover or envelop, as with a mantle; to cloak; to hide; to disguise. onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/mantleThere's glory for you!" "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' " "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument,' " Alice objected. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is, " said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty. "which is to be master—that's all."

Here she checked herself in some alarm, at hearing something that sounded to her like the puffing of a large steam-engine in the wood near them, though she feared it was more likely to be a wild beast. 'Are there any lions or tigers about here?' she asked timidly. 'It's only the Red King snoring,' said Tweedledee. 'Come and look at him!' the brothers cried, and they each took one of Alice's hands, and led her up to where the King was sleeping. 'Isn't he a LOVELY sight?' said Tweedledum. Alice couldn't say honestly that he was. He had a tall red night-cap on, with a tassel, and he was lying crumpled up into a sort of untidy heap, and snoring loud--'fit to snore his head off!' as Tweedledum remarked. 'I'm afraid he'll catch cold with lying on the damp grass,' said Alice, who was a very thoughtful little girl. 'He's dreaming now,' said Tweedledee: 'and what do you think he's dreaming about?' Alice said 'Nobody can guess that.' 'Why, about YOU!' Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. 'And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?' 'Where I am now, of course,' said Alice. 'Not you!' Tweedledee retorted contemptuously. 'You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream!' 'If that there King was to wake,' added Tweedledum, 'you'd go out--bang!--just like a candle!' 'I shouldn't!' Alice exclaimed indignantly. 'Besides, if I'M only a sort of thing in his dream, what are YOU, I should like to know?' 'Ditto' said Tweedledum. 'Ditto, ditto' cried Tweedledee. He shouted this so loud that Alice couldn't help saying, 'Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise.' 'Well, it no use YOUR talking about waking him,' said Tweedledum, 'when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real.' 'I AM real!' said Alice and began to cry. 'You won't make yourself a bit realler by crying,' Tweedledee remarked: ' there's nothing to cry about.'
'If I wasn't real,' Alice said--half-laughing through her tears, it all seemed so ridiculous--'I shouldn't be able to cry.' 'I hope you don't suppose those are real tears?' Tweedledum interrupted in a tone of great contempt. 'I know they're talking nonsense,' Alice thought to herself: 'and it's foolish to cry about it.' So she brushed away her tears, and went on as cheerfully as she could. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know and it's a dream. I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever. -btw Jo, cool fade...horseshoes and hand-grenades perhaps?
