Ever wanted to be part of a Guinness World Record? Here's your chance!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ten......cription

I came across this kickstarter page about someone who plans to write a book with a huge amount of characters, and by you funding it, YOU can be a character in the book! You only need to put a few dollars towards this and you will be named in the book and will receive a pdf copy of the book. I think it sounds like a great idea, for only a few dollars you can be a world record holder! Take a look at the link and see what you think!

Feel free to say what you think about it here too!

It's only a Paper Moon...

I am going for the biggest funeral procession and for a few dollars more you guys can attend. Nothing too fancy, just something simple like Baron de Palm’s;


The procession will move in the
following order : —

Colonel Olcott as high priest, wearing a leopard-skin, and carrying a roll of papyrus (brown cardboard).

Mr. Cobb as sacred scribe, with style and tablet.

Egyptian mummy-case, borne upon a sledge drawn by four oxen. (Also a slave bearing a pot of lubricating oil.)

Madame Blavatsky as chief mourner, and also bearer of the sistrum. (She will wear a long linen garment extending to the feet, and a girdle about the waist.)

Coloured boy, carrying three Abyssinian geese (Philadelphia chickens) to place upon the bier.

Vice-President Felt, with the eye of Osiris painted on his left breast, and carrying an asp (bought at a toy store on Eighth Avenue).

Dr. Pancoast, singing an ancient Theban dirge: Isis and Nepthys, beginning and end; One more victim to Amenti we send: Pay we the fare, and let us not tarry, Cross the Styx by the Roosevelt Street ferry.’

Slaves in mourning gowns, carrying
the offerings and libations, to consist of
early potatoes, asparagus, roast beef,
French pancakes, bock beer, and New
Jersey cider.

Treasurer Newton as chief of the musicians, playing the double pipe.

Other musicians, performing on
eight-stringed harps, tom-toms, etc.

Boys carrying a large lotus (sun-
flower).

Librarian Fassit, who will alternate
with music by repeating the lines be-
ginning —

Here Horus comes, I see the boat :
Friends, stay your flowing tears;
The soul of man goes through a goat
In just three thousand years.

At the temple the ceremony will be
short and simple. The oxen will be
left standing on the sidewalk, with a
boy near by to prevent them goring the
passers-by. Besides the Theurgic hymn,
printed above in full, the Coptic national
anthem will be sung, translated and
adapted to the occasion as follows : —

Sitting Cynocephalus, up in a tree,

I see you, and you see me.

River full of crocodile, see his long snout !
Hoist up the shadoof and pull him right out.

Ha!
