(After much consideration I have decided to post this here before publishing it widely.) The Beatles played a lovely prank. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a brilliant parody of Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking Glass and Edgar Allan Poe's Gold Bug, complete with a treasure map and a hidden treasure. The prank plays out in word and picture puns. The treasure went undiscovered for 42 years, until I found it; now I am going to tell you how to find it. I shall begin very near the end. Poe's Gold Bug is a story about a golden beetle and a cryptic message containing veiled instructions for how to find a cache of Captain Kidd's buried pirate treasure. To wit: "A good glass in the Bishop's Castle in the devil's seat...main branch seventh limb east side...shoot from the left eye of the death's head...a bee-line from the tree through the shot fifty feet out..."In Poe's story, the Bishop's Castle was an old-school name for a remote rock formation. High up the eastern face was a small ledge, which the protagonist discerned to be the devil's seat: "I let myself down to the ledge, and found that it was impossible to retain a seat upon it except in one particular position...I proceeded to use the glass...my attention was arrested by a circular rift or opening in the foliage of a large tree that overtopped its fellows in the distance. In the centre of this rift I perceived a white spot, but could not, at first, distinguish what it was. Adjusting the focus of the telescope, I again looked, and now made it out to be a human skull.
"Upon this discovery I was so sanguine as to consider the enigma solved; for the phrase 'main branch, seventh limb, east side,' could refer only to the position of the skull upon the tree, while 'shoot from the left eye of the death's-head' admitted, also, of but one interpretation, in regard to a search for a buried treasure. I perceived that the design was to drop a bullet from the left eye of the skull, and that a bee-line, or, in other words, a straight line, drawn from the nearest point of the trunk through 'the shot' (or the spot where the bullet fell...would indicate a definite point -- and beneath this point I thought it at least possible that a deposit of value lay concealed."In the story, a real pirate treasure is eventually found by following the instructions. The heroes drop the golden beetle through the dead sailor's eye and thus locate the correct spot to dig, where they find a buried footlocker full of treasure. (Think about the lyrics to Walrus: "Yellow matter...[dropping] from a dead dog's eye." Sailors are called dogs. Gold is yellow matter.) To recap: Use a looking glass to fix the location of the hole in the death's head. Drop me a line through the left eye stating point of view. A beeline through the shot will precisely indicate the correct location to dig. Find the treasure, and baby, you're a rich man too. The image below shows what happens when we use another kind of looking glass, a mirror, on the Sgt Pepper drum. If we reflect the top half of the drum back on itself we find the message HE^DIE pointing straight at Paul. This well known trick has been misinterpreted by the Paul is Dead crowd for 42 years. The real purpose behind this clever bit of mirror play is because Paul plays the role of the death's head in the Sgt. Pepper treasure hunt.  Paul's head is portrayed on the limb of a tree just as the story requires. Sgt. Pepper shows a palm tree on the far right, but as you can see in the image below, there are two palms on Sgt. Pepper. One is literal; the other is a picture pun over Paul's head: An open hand, palm forward. The arm that holds the palm over Paul's head may rightly be called a limb, so Paul cleverly portrays a death's head on the limb of a palm. (To further sweeten this pun, the man's name is PaulM).  John emphasizes that Paul is the dead man in Being for the Benefit of Mister Kite! He sings the phrase, "Late of Pablo..." This suggests that Paul is dead, since 'Pablo' is Spanish for 'Paul,' and 'late' means 'dead.' Of course, Paul isn't really a dead man; he just plays one on Sgt. Pepper. If you shoot a line straight down from Paul's left eye then you are very close to finding the location of the treasure. All that remains is to make a "beeline from the tree though the shot," and then you must dig. The instrument that Paul holds over his chest, a cor anglais, makes a line that runs from Issy Bonn, who plays the role of the palm tree, through the shot and points to the "B" at the end of the word CLUB. This is a "B" line from the tree through the shot. Curiously, the little trophy in the yard, (which is the only visible piece of booty), points to the exact location where the other two lines cross.  "X" marks the spot. Paul's heart is where the treasure is located. This is where you dig. Shall I continue? -j I shall end very near the beginning. "X" marks the spot. Paul's heart is where the treasure is located. This is where you dig. P L
The name with the heart of gold. Now meet Bill, the replacement.  He's a single buck, a Lonely Hart en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_(deer)Let us pray to the Capsicum Cap's Eye Cum, aka the Pepper Popper:  Oh High O Thy Buck Eye Conkers All Great Thou Art Novus Ordo Papyrum Goo Goo G'joob (Eye am the Walrus sounds better than Eye am the Great Seal, don't you think?)  Now you see the submerged gold of Paul's heart has returned to Pepperland (where the weather is currently eye see chili). Golden slumbers fill your funny paper eyes |

Here comes the Pun. Here come the Pun King. Punking, or Punk'd for short, as in we've all been punk'd. ;D Jarv, by any chance are you just trying to say that anything can be twisted and interpreted to mean anything, which in effect is true, of course, but such lovely word jousting should have its own thread I think... sort of like the song association game.  More silly love schlongs... This is the Hill Cumorah, circa 420 AD, where Moron-i allegedly buried the gold record, the Sword of Laban, and the diamond looking glasses:  In 1827 Joe Smith allegedly dug up the gold record, the Sword of Laban, and the diamond looking glasses, and hid them at his mother Lucy's house. This is the Hill Cumorah today:  This is another kind of hill Cum Aura: (Also know as an Aura Gun, courtesy of Aubrey Beardsley)  This is the State of Aura Gun:  Oregon's statehood anniversary is February 14th, aka Valentine's Day. It is the Beaver State. The capital, Salem, is the Cherry City (where by chance, I was made...strangely enough, on or about Valentine's Day). That Aura Gun surely got a whole lotta love. ;D  In case you can't clearly read the above envelope, that's the Pi O'neer Mother (located on the University of Oregon Duck campus).  Pie on ear. That's just too, uhh, funny, er, I mean wonky. Duck! ;D ;D -j It's missing the pictures. |

The Saturn theory offers a radically different approach to understanding the recent history of the solar system. Briefly summarized, the theory posits that the neighboring planets only recently settled into their current orbits, the Earth formerly being involved in a unique planetary configuration of sorts together with Saturn, Venus, and Mars. As the terrestrial skywatcher looked upwards, he saw a spectacular and awe-inspiring apparition dominating the celestial landscape. At the heart of heaven the massive gas giant Saturn appeared fixed atop the North polar axis, with Venus and Mars set within its center like two concentric orbs (see figure one, where Venus is the green orb and Mars the innermost red orb). The theory holds that the origin of ancient myth and religion—indeed the origin of the primary institutions of civilization itself—is inextricably linked to the appearance and evolutionary history of this unique congregation of planets. and... Further support for the alternative "Saturn theory" comes upon considering the representation of the planet Venus in ancient art. A straightforward interpretation of the various images superimposed upon the "solar" disc in figure two would understand the first as an " eye"; the second as an eight-spoked wheel or "star"; and the third as an eight-petalled flower. Now it is a remarkable fact that the planet Venus is consistently associated with these very forms from one ancient culture to another. The ancient Sumerians, for example, represented Venus (as Inanna) as an eye-goddess, eight-pointed star, and eight-petalled flower or rosette. Consider the figurine represented in figure six, one of thousands discovered by Max Mallowan during his excavations of the Inanna-precinct at Uruk. Similar "eye-goddesses" have been found throughout the ancient world, from Neolithic Europe to India. Figure seven shows an early cylinder seal from the Jemdet Nasr period (c. 3000 BCE), depicting Inanna as an "eye-goddess" alongside her familiar eight-petalled rosette. www.maverickscience.com/saturn.htm |
