The origin of the word 'lunatic'

by Feòrag

It seems the staff at the Arkham Asylum have given our old friend QuePirate access to the net, and simultaneously reduced his medication. It hasn't affected his English language skills, though.

Notice the position of the crescent moon lately - I'ts not like a chair anymore but more like a couch like Islam portrays it - think it is the "distress of nations" like it says in the Gospel [Luke 21:25] - if not why hasn't the scientific community mentioned the change of planetary allignment - you dont think they've missed it do you! Ha Ha
BTW it changed same time as the earthquake which occured year 2000 of christ nativity " "Great Earthequake in divers places" at after the sabbath crack of dawn beginning of the week, Mathew last chapter first 2 sentences. Oh-Yeah! do you know the parrable of the fig tree?

Of course, as the moon is currently waxing, it will be some time before we are able to confirm that the moon looks just the same as she ever did. It's probably a crescent in QuePirate's head though.

I particularly liked Great Earthequake in divers places, it gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling to see QuePirate weigh in with his addition to the tsunami conspiracy list.

While his English is still notably eccentric, I am left wondering what happened to his great and powerful numbers theory bollocks. Although it's absence does make for text that doesn't make your eyes bleed.

Beware - the eccentric English can be contageous.

Talking about The Great Tsunami Conspiracy List, I've just added a couple more entries. QuePirate's earthquake was unfortunately in 2000, so does not qualify. Of course, a QuePirate discourse on the tsunami would be treasure...

Today is the 10th of June. The new waxing crescent has been viewable at sundown past 2 days. Is it as I've stated or isn't it? Has it been like that before the Earthquake?... no sir ree bob - As far as my "numerology" I'd like to ask, since you guys ought to know; How many Ts are you minus at this point? The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Can you dig it? - "They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?" John 6:30

One other matter - Jesus born 4 CE

The moon looks normal in Scotland. BTW if this mythical Jesus character was born when you claim, then this proves beyond all doubt that the Bible is bollocks, as Herod has been dead for 8 years by then.

there was more than one Herod - and you lie as to your view of the crescent - It has been a crescent that starts out standing up and phases latterly accross to full then to waning crescent - now it starts out nearly on its back and corckscrews around as it grows. not the same lunar phases as prior to jan 05. this is only possilbe by god. period

Last Saturday, I got a really, really good view of the moon. I was at a wedding, and the DJ was worse that the most terrible sterotype of a wedding DJ you can imagine. Several of us spent most of the evening chatting outside the venue. Rarely, for Scotland, the first part of the evening it was a nice clear night. There was also a shortage of pleasant drink at the wedding, so I remained sober througout the proceedings.

The moon, a waxing crescent, was almost vertical. The prettiness of the moon was commented on - it's amazing what trivia you'll discuss when bored.

You should try looking at it when you are stood up, not flat on your back through alcohol or drugs. You can call me a liar, but you cannot convince me that you are anything other than someone in need of psychiatric care if you make a claim regarding an observable phenomenon and a moment's observation reveals that your claim is not the case. Perhaps the moon is different on your planet.

As for Herod, Herod the Great had at least three sons called Herod, but two of them were crap kings and the other did a lot of rebuilding. Herod the Great is the one creditied with the slaugher of new born boys by the Bible, and he is the one who died several years before the Jesus character is supposed to have been born.

If a modern work of fiction made these kinds of errors, it would be totally slated by the critics and the author would be laughed at.

Half moon waxing at the moment. The moon is not lying on it's back, the visible section is at the top (southern hemisphere for the geographically challenged) and the shaddow is a rough 45° slash across the face.

This nicely kills off QuePirate's current fantasy.
