- Definition of Anomie from Wikipedia
"Anomie, in contemporary English means the absence of any kind of rule, law, principle or order." - "A vampire is on the loose in Birmingham. And an inept one, if reports are to be believed. Which they aren't."
Despite the complete lack of evidence, no rise in bite-related injuries and the like, there is apparently a vampire stalking the streets of Birmingham - Wikipedia's description of Discordianism is fascinating both for its accuracy and for reading more like a Discordian text than a Wikipedia article. I wonder where the edges are?
"Discordianism has been described as both an elaborate joke disguised as a religion and a religion disguised as an elaborate joke. Some of its followers make the claim that it is "a religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion." - An article I wrote for the Guardian a little over a year ago on the future of weblog culture and technologies...
"The real growth area in the next five years will be in these contextualising tools - the mechanisms that make weblog culture more accessible and accountable."

Nah nah nah - I know what you're thinking. "Inks was googling on plastic bag films to check his google rating and saw my blog and took an opportunistic chance to plug his product" and you know what? You'd be right.
But the film stands up in it's own right - it's only 6Mb, take a look and make your own mind up :-)
Nice blog, btw.

Out of plugger mode, it's a while since I've come across the word Discordian - has Stuart Home made it onto Wikipedia?

There's no reports of bite injuries because it's a good vampire (like Angel) obviously. He's only attacking the bad guys and turning them to dust. See? It all fits in.
Urban myth my left foot!
