The 14th edition of Maybe Quarterly has now arrived - we carry on without His Serene Absence - we also run a blog called Only Maybe as a complement to the magazine. Some of you may know what OM actually stands for - if you have read the hilarious Illuminatus! We just started a Wiki, to explore Illuminatus! in more depth |

I'll leave it to you to make the connections Click here to go to a page of links to sombunall of my heroes |
The Maybe Logic Library - highly recommended - Beats, sub-culture, etc.
All sorts of religious and magick texts available online here - a definitive collection of different peoples' fnord Bibles.
How many One True God's are there, again?
An excellent RAW fan site with multitudes of links and downloads (Bob's stand-up routine, for instance) - you may be gone for some time...
I have enjoyed browsing Future Hi - the interview with John Lilly alone (From Here to Alternity and Beyond) seems worth the price of admission (your mind)
Evergreen Review "What Is 'Pataphysics?
'Pataphysics is the acceptance of every event in the universe as an extraordinary event.
If you let a coin fall and it falls, the next time it is just by an infinite coincidence that it will fall again the same way; hundreds of other coins on other hands will follow this pattern in an infinitely unimaginable fashion. -Jarry
London Institute of 'Pataphysics (c/o Atlas Press)
Definitions, from which page I will lift Roger Shattuck's definitions (they are expanded, with comments, if you follow that link):
1. 'Pataphysics is
the science of the realm beyond metaphysics; or, 'Pataphysics lies as far beyond
metaphysics as metaphysics lies beyond physics - in one direction or another.
2. 'Pataphysics is the science of the particular, of laws governing
exceptions.
3. 'Pataphysics is the science of imaginary solutions.
4. For 'Pataphysics, all things are equal.
5. 'Pataphysics is, in aspect, imperturbable.
6. All things are pataphysical; yet few men practice 'Pataphysics
consciously.
7. Beyond 'Pataphysics lies nothing; 'Pataphysics is the ultimate defence.

New! Borsky from the Maybe Logic Academy just handed me a fistful of clues - so far unexplored - but I reckon you might find treasure...(you might even find one in your native language...)
