    Agatha Macbeth: Good mornin@ :)
    Hokon Cazalet: hiya =)
    Hokon Cazalet: thats a cool outfit
    Agatha Macbeth: Insomnia again?
    Hokon Cazalet: hehe =)
    Agatha Macbeth: Thankk you :)
    Hokon Cazalet: =)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi QT
    Qt Core: hi all
    Hokon Cazalet: hiya
    Agatha Macbeth: Dunno where Wol is: she's online
    Agatha Macbeth: Probably getting changed :p
    Agatha Macbeth: I'll hold it til she arrives
    Wol Euler: hello all,sorry I'm late
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah here you are!
    Hokon Cazalet: Weeee! ^.^
    Hokon Cazalet: hi =)
    Qt Core: Hi Wol
    Agatha Macbeth: Thanks, I was holding it for you :)
    Wol Euler: yeah, I got caught up and lost track of the time
    Agatha Macbeth: Thought you couldn't decide what to put on ;-)
    Wol Euler: that too
    Agatha Macbeth: :)
    Hokon Cazalet: hehe
    Wol Euler: I see you had no such problem,though
    Agatha Macbeth: How do you whisper a smile?
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, no
    Wol Euler: quietly?
    Agatha Macbeth: I guess
    Agatha Macbeth: No antlers this morning?
    Wol Euler: nor fur
    Wol Euler: human for a day
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Wol Euler: or perhaps less
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Wol Euler: so, what's new?
    Agatha Macbeth: The day?
    Agatha Macbeth: That's about it thus far
    --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: What page of the wiki is the calendar on please?
    Wol Euler: good q
    Agatha Macbeth: Damn, I'll have to trawl it
    Agatha Macbeth: Just wondered if anything was happening today
    Wol Euler: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Events/Calendar?highlight=calendar
    Wol Euler: guardian meeting at 8am, but nothing else listed
    Qt Core: speaking about new things...i just started to read a book, a long overdue reading, Brave new world by Huxley, i've only read a couple dozen pages and i'm already pretty scared and amazed
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Events/Calendar
    Wol Euler: nice, qt
    Wol Euler: what brought you to it?
    Hokon Cazalet: i read that book as a young teen, powerful book
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, good read QT :)
    Qt Core: mostly having read 1984 decades ago and having it always mentioned alongside it
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: That didn't turn out too true tho :p
    Hokon Cazalet: =)
    Wol Euler: fortunately
    Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
    Wol Euler: perhaps it didn't come true, in part, because teh book was written
    Qt Core: 1984 was scary but you know, a little imrobable, Huxley's work (for what i've read) seems more probable (new scientific development aside), so more scary
    Wol Euler: hello yaku
    Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning everyone
    Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Yak
    Qt Core: hi Yaku
    Hokon Cazalet: yeah ive always found brave new world more beliavble
    Wol Euler: really? I found 1984 far more believable as a possible future
    Hokon Cazalet: hi yakuzza
    Wol Euler: I can more easily see the world sliding into fascism than into technological joy
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, quite easily
    Wol Euler: (talking about "1984" and "Brave New World")
    Agatha Macbeth remembers Toyah's song
    Wol Euler doesn't.
    Agatha Macbeth: Brave new world: no?
    Wol Euler: not by name; hum a few bars?
    Agatha Macbeth: About 81 I think
    Zaldaan Sirnah: Morning.
    Agatha Macbeth: One of her later ones
    Hokon Cazalet: hi zaldaan
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Zal
    Wol Euler: apropos future: http://www.savagechickens.com/2010/0...rspective.html
    Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Yakuzza Lethecus: idealization of the past, yes :)
    Qt Core: i can see one transvestite as the other
    Agatha Macbeth: It's enough to make Doug savage
    Wol Euler: heh
    Qt Core: as in fascism/dictatorship seeming to be the perfectr joyous society
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Mussolini would probably agree! :D
    Zaldaan Sirnah: Hi Hokon. Aggers.
    Wol Euler: the odd and worrying thing is that they do work quite well, for most people - until they suddenly don't work at all
    Qt Core: after all most dictator start with the idea of making the country a better place
    Wol Euler: and then all hell breaks loose
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: the problem is the definition of "better" and what means they think acceptable to get there
    Zaldaan Sirnah: many misunderstandings and wrong steps
    Wol Euler: Stalin thought it acceptable to kill around 20 million farming peasants to arrive at socialized landholding
    Zaldaan Sirnah: how is one to make peace when they do not know true peace themselves?
    Agatha Macbeth: Well he would
    Qt Core: even horrible things like racial cleanings start with the idea of making the country better
    --BELL--
    Urantia Plutonian: :3
    Qt Core: sadly i have to go, bye all
    Wol Euler: bye qt
    Zaldaan Sirnah: me too.. afk.
    Hokon Cazalet: aww bye, urantia is a friend of mine =)
    Wol Euler: hello urantia, have you been here before?
    Urantia Plutonian: Hi all :)
    Urantia Plutonian: No.. this is my first time
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Urantia
    Wol Euler: ok, I'll give you a notecard and a brief introduction in IM
    Urantia Plutonian: ok
    Wol Euler: but first: it occured to me during hte break: the real issue comes before "making htings better"
    Wol Euler: the real issue is the belief that "our problems are not our fault"
    Agatha Macbeth: Or supposedly making things better
    Wol Euler: "we would be perfectly happy if 9it were not for the jews/muslims/hindus/arabs/left-handed people"
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep
    Agatha Macbeth: And it's basically just people pandering to their own bigotry
    Wol Euler: yep
    Wol Euler: and also, important, not taking responsibility for their lives
    Wol Euler: "it's not my fault"
    Wol Euler: "we were cheated"
    Agatha Macbeth: Hence the attraction of a srtong-willed leader
    Yakuzza Lethecus: left handed are the worst!
    Agatha Macbeth: *strong
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Urantia, Sunday 1AMs are usually quiet sessions, you don't get much of a feel for PaB from them :p
    Wol Euler chuckles.
    Wol Euler: yes, the different times have different flavours
    Urantia Plutonian: Ah thanks:)
    Wol Euler: 7pm SL time is very serious
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but these are the things that drag one into interest in philosophy, a democratic state often feels stuck since sometimes you gain the feeling that everyone tries to block everything of the other side in politics and it feels like no progress but at least everyone takes part and decides about the burden the society should carry at least in an ideal form
    Agatha Macbeth: The 7 AMs seem to be the most vibrant I belkieve
    Agatha Macbeth: -k
    Wol Euler: heh
    Agatha Macbeth: Too early in the day for me to ponder all that yaku :p
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but with a central government without opposition whom don´t have to struggle with their opposition there seems that the ppl don´t have to say anything but the system get things done, i think that is what attracts ppl right now to the chinese government, they get things done, but the ppl have very little to say in a democratic way as it seems for us westerners
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: "getting things done" is vastly overrated :) and oversimplified too
    Agatha Macbeth: The Chinese people don't need democracy to ruin everything for them :)
    Wol Euler: they get things done by people being basically homeless, sleeping in the factories where they work
    Wol Euler: they get things done by ruining their environment even faster than we are spoiling ours
    Wol Euler: thy get things done by absolute control of the media, including internet.
    Agatha Macbeth: Plus they have almost unlimited personpower
    Agatha Macbeth: 1 bilion plus
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I don't know what you alll are talking about, but I already disagree with it. lol
    Wol Euler: heh
    Wol Euler: no surprise there :)
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling winks at wol
    Wol Euler: hello mary, have a seat
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Thanks, Wol
    --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi Mary, how's Jesus? :p
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: He's *perfect* lol
    Agatha Macbeth heads to the kitchen
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: The perfect man always makes me hungry too.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: well as i understood it they have problems in the coastal area´s now to find workers because the government started to develop the innter much faster and ppl don´t go to the coastal area´s even tho they could make a bit more money on the sacrafice of family´s, so of course there are ,,isses" but actually i have a very positive feeling to some extend, but sure not everything is gold
    Agatha Macbeth: back
    Wol Euler: wb
    Yakuzza Lethecus: wb
    Agatha Macbeth: My mouse is acting funny again
    Wol Euler: too much mouldy cheese?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Give it some catnip.
    Agatha Macbeth: Could be
    Hokon Cazalet: hehe
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wol, similar idea
    Yakuzza Lethecus i´d like to have a mouse that can act
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: So what's with the veil and Free Woman outfit, Aggers?
    Agatha Macbeth: Eh?
    Agatha Macbeth: I just bought it, so I'm trying it on
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: It looks good; I have a similar one, wore it at one sim, and got kicked out for nudity. I think it's becuase my ankles were showing.
    Agatha Macbeth: You're kidding?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: No, I'm not; well, about the ankles part
    Agatha Macbeth: Some folks are plain weird
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I think they just expected me to be naked, so kicked me out nyway. Got banned when I circualated a picture that showed what I was wearing.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: That really ticked them off.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oops
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wierd? In SL? naw, that can't be it.
    Agatha Macbeth: I like what you have on now...
    Wol Euler smiles.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: ty, Aggers. Me too.
    Agatha Macbeth: Inexpensive
    Wol Euler: hard to get it to fit right, though.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Aren't these feet adorable? Almost perfect match.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wol, lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Well, that's true of the feet.
    Wol Euler: mine always bunches up in odd places
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Yoiu're feet?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Or your bare bodkin?
    Wol Euler: my what-you-are-wearing :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Well you have a very unique shape dear
    Wol Euler: an attempt at an extended joke
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling laughs
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I know.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: lol
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: bodkin,, btw, actually means knife, but people use it to mean body
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm, I knew it was something pointy
    Wol Euler chuckles.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling hides her nipples at Agger's remark
    Agatha Macbeth: :)
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Not that I'm saying it's cold here, or anything.
    Agatha Macbeth: Pointy nipples are cute
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: So you all were talking China?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Aggers, ty!
    Agatha Macbeth: yw :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: well about 1984 before
    Agatha Macbeth: And Brave new world
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: The year or the book?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: oh, ok, dytopias
    Agatha Macbeth: yep
    Yakuzza Lethecus: a thing that i thought was very interesting this morning was the discovery of a 7,7 trillion € in india
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,772021,00.html
    Yakuzza Lethecus: sry digging the english one
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I think Brave New World was more prescient than 1984. Amarik wrote "Will the Soveit Empire last to 1984?" And it lasted to 1989. But we are grdaully going into brave New World
    --BELL--
    Yakuzza Lethecus: billion
    Yakuzza Lethecus: sry
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, they could certainly spend it on worse things...
    Agatha Macbeth: (and usually do)
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: What are they spending it on?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43621678..._central_asia/
    Agatha Macbeth: A temple apparently
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i hope to nothing
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: The Chinese are spending a billion dollars on a temple?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: thince it´s historical jewlery
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, thought it was India
    Wol Euler points to Yaku's link
    Wol Euler: it is India
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I have no idea what we're talkig about
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: Me either!
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Oh, well, India spending a billion dollars on a temple makes sense
    Agatha Macbeth is lost
    Wol Euler: so read the effin' story
    Wol Euler: and be found
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, we seem to be talking about India and China at the same time
    Agatha Macbeth: And Brave new world
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Well, I can halluncinate all sorts of connections, so ok.
    Agatha Macbeth: I didn't see Urantia go
    Wol Euler: she slipped off silently some time back
    Hokon Cazalet: shje had to go quickly
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Agatha Macbeth: Probably thinks we're all mad
    Hokon Cazalet: hehe
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Urantia left a couple minutes after I arrived.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, ok
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Aggers, that's probabl it.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: And she wouldn't be *that* far off. lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, one never knows
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: That's an interesting AO you have aggers, if I tried sitting with mine, all sorts of wierd things might happen.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: One time i sank into a chair, so only my boobs were visible.
    Agatha Macbeth: It conflicts sometimes, but if I switch it off and back on it seems ok
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: now, *that* was a wierd sight.
    Agatha Macbeth: Mary, when are Rhi's sessions usually?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I just switcch mine off when I sit, unless it's a g round sit.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: *groiund
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wed at 11:30 slt and Fri at 6:00pm slt
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, thanks
    Agatha Macbeth: Cos Alessa's been a couple of times and the place ws empty
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: And she may start on on Sat at 1:30pm slt
    Agatha Macbeth: Ok, thx
    Agatha Macbeth: I'll pass it on :)
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: She will get notices, if she's a member of the group.
    Agatha Macbeth nods. I think it had been rescheduled or something
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: yeah, and soon her FL schedule will change, so her SL schedule will change; and one new sim owner wants to pay her for guest appearances.
    Agatha Macbeth: Wow, nice
    Wol Euler nods.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: yeah, he wants to build up his sim.
    Agatha Macbeth: Hope it's M-rated [grin]
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: He already has decent trffic, although he hasn't really opened it yet.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: lol
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: ACtually, hes, M rated.
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good
    Agatha Macbeth: Take Gilles along with you :p
    --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: He'll enetertain 'em
    Wol Euler: /chortles
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: He wanted to avoid A rating beccause he wanted it open to all; and G, as he wanted Rhiannon and he wanted free wheeling discussion, clubs, and so on.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Who is Gilles?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Buffy's mentor?
    Agatha Macbeth: Gilles Kuhn?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: oh, Gilles Kuhn. Right
    Wol Euler: ah, you have a treat in store :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Thought you knew him
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Actually, that is an excellent idea, mykos is lookig for other speakers.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well life's never dull when he's around
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I do, it's just that, as he's on summer hiaturs, I don't think about him much
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Don't tell him that; it may crush his ego. lol
    Agatha Macbeth: I think he just wanted to get away from us loonies!
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: No, he wanted to tour Europe
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, even better
    Agatha Macbeth: Working today Wol?
    Wol Euler: yeah, after lunch
    Agatha Macbeth: Aw
    Wol Euler: but only a few hours
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Wol Euler: I have to be back in SL this evening, for an interview with Lumi
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: You work on Suday? Oh, that's right, you're under a deadline.
    Wol Euler: yeah
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: An interview with Lumi?
    Agatha Macbeth: Ooh, a job offer? :p
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Who's Lumi?
    Wol Euler: nah
    Agatha Macbeth: Thought you might be DJing at Fracture finally
    Wol Euler: Luminis is a sociologist investigating gender and sexual identity, and how these are formed/expressed in virtual spaces
    Wol Euler: well, I am working on that!
    Agatha Macbeth: Heh
    Wol Euler: actually it wouldn't be *me* but one of my many alts
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Oh, you might have her contact mne; with mny experiences in gender here in SL, it could be helpful to her.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: It's amazing experience male privilege when I'm in a male avatar.
    Wol Euler nods vigorously
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I mean I've had expereinces that make it very clear that women are dissed in our culture; things that I just took for granted before don't happen when you're a guy.
    Agatha Macbeth: How do you experience it particularly Mary?
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: I can see that would piss you off
    Agatha Macbeth: It would me
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Well, for example, there's this one sim, and it's not so much like this anymore, as they know me there; but if I went as a male, I could say "The world is flat," and one of the admins would go "Really; thats facinating; could you tell me more?" But a a woman, she'd say to my professing "2=2=4" "fuck you, no one believes that."
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: oh, it does piss me off.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Quite rightly so
    Wol Euler: agreed
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: There were people who are respectful and even flirtitious with me as a male in one sim, and they attak any female avatar I have.
    Wol Euler: I know people who changed gender in SL (F to M) because they weren't taken seriously on science sims
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, now that I *can* believe
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wol, it took me months to fight for recognition in philosophy, and then--this is funny, one guy said he thought I had been hiding my knowledge all the time for sinsiter purposes.
    Wol Euler snorts.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Noooo. It's just that no one believed I had it.
    Agatha Macbeth: Very, very sad...
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: One sim owner thought I was just a ditzy blonde, but as a male, well, that's different.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, yeah
    Agatha Macbeth: 'It's all about appearances'
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: The wonderful thing about SL, though, is you can do experiments;. People in RL are always saying, well, it's not that females are treated differntlyh, it's blah, blah balah. But here youcan hold everything else constant and change your gender.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: And it shows that it is gender.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: And you don't get horny noobs coming along and going 'Oi' when you're trying to buy stuff
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: yes.
    Agatha Macbeth: Now THAT is annoying
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: But then it does feel strange to buy clothes or hair as a male for your female avatar.
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Wol Euler: well, actually ... I have a male alt who mentors at newbie areas. He gets propositioned all the time :)
    --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: By M or F?
    Wol Euler: not as often as I did, but still ...
    Wol Euler: both :))))
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wo this is SL after all. lol
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: *Wol
    Agatha Macbeth: But of course, one doesn't know the gender of the propositioner either...
    Wol Euler: true, it's all just one big happy funfest
    Agatha Macbeth: Innit just
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Well, I think SL gender should be accepted for what it is; saves a lotof paronoia.
    Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
    Wol Euler: yep
    Wol Euler: treat people as they present
    Wol Euler: animals too :)
    Wol Euler: and robots
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: In RL, psychologists say that you should accept a person's gender self-designation; I think that is even more ture here.
    Agatha Macbeth: Especially the horny ones :p
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: heh, and it's different when you'r an animal avi, too.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I went to one group discussion which always highly respected me; went as a ravan, and they ignored me.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: I came back as a woman and everything was back to normal.
    Agatha Macbeth: Birdophobia
    Wol Euler: :)
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: And this is the funny thing--when I pointed it ut, they denied it.
    Wol Euler: seen too many Hitchcock films
    Agatha Macbeth: :DDD
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Wol, lol
    Agatha Macbeth sees Mary fly down the chimney
    Wol Euler: brb, coffee refill needed
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: 'Caw; caw!'
    Agatha Macbeth throws you some bread
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling prefers hen scratch
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: peck, peck, peck
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww, don't have any :(
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling flaps her wings angrily at Aggers' window
    Agatha Macbeth: Did Hokon fall asleep or is she still with us?
    Hokon Cazalet: hehe
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, right
    Wol Euler: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Just checking
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling waves her hand in front of Hokon's fce
    Hokon Cazalet: :Þ
    Agatha Macbeth dies from laughing....
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling has her boyfriend raise Aggers from the dead
    Agatha Macbeth: heehee
    Agatha Macbeth: 'Lazarus come forth'
    Agatha Macbeth: He came fifth
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Well, after three days, he wasn't just merely diead, he was really quite sincerely dead.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: "He stinketh."
    Agatha Macbeth holds her nose
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Now, you shouldn't talk about my brother like that; he can't help it; death does that to you. you should respect the dead.
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: You do know that Lazarus was Mary Magdeleine's brother.
    Agatha Macbeth: Er...probably
    Wol Euler: huh, no.
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, i did
    Agatha Macbeth: 9trying to think)
    Agatha Macbeth: -9
    Agatha Macbeth: +(
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: yeah, one of the gospel writers makes a point of saying, this was the Mary that annointed Jesus' feet and hair.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well there were so many Marys
    Agatha Macbeth: Almost as bad as Ireland :p
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Yes, so he made that poiint (Luke?) in order to designate
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Aggers, lol; or Jesus's in Mexicao
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah yes, true
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Which is why it is a myth that Mary Magdeleine was a prostitute.
    Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Lazarus, Martha and Mary were obviously very wealthy and the wholde community came out for Lazarus' funeral
    Agatha Macbeth: Isn't that just a mistranslation?
    Wol Euler: interesting, I'll have to read that again
    Yakuzza Lethecus: have a good night, day everyone
    Wol Euler: bye yaku, take care
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Oh, no, Aggers, not a mistranslation; a deliberate misrepresentation by an early pope.
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now Yaku
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: nige, yaku
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, because she was a woman I guess?
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: The Church finally repudiated that, along with their exhonoration of Galeleo
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Aggers, that's the modern theory; that that Pope was putting women in their plce
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, it takes time, but they get there
    --BELL--
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: yeah, a few centuries; slowly, slowly catchee monkee.
    Agatha Macbeth: Slow but sure hopefully
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if there really was a Pope Joan?
    Hokon Cazalet: i need to go for the night, i got work later today =)
    Hokon Cazalet: have a good day or night alls
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: Good question. Wasn't that about the time there were two male popes; each excommunicated the other?
    Wol Euler: bye hokon, take care
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye Hok, sleep well
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: nite, hokon
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, Joanna Aquilla
    Agatha Macbeth: From what I've read it's almost certainly a myth, but an interesting concept nontheless
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: heh. Wonder if she had to have a beard, like Hatshepsut, the female Pharoah
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm surprised nobody has tried to claim he's descended from her and tried to become King of France
    MaryMagdeleine Shilling: hmmm, these days, if you do that, they lock you away and give you pills.
