Although, er, now that I actually look at the site it rather fails the Why On Earth Should He Make That His Postage Stamp test.

Seriously, no one's taking up the challenge?
I can clarify my hint by saying that the quote is in fact originally in all caps and appeared in This magazine (1971-74), which was a sort of West Coast version of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E.

Nothing much to tell. Just a bit of Google serendipity. I put the letters "WMZT" which is how I read the first line of the avatar, into Google, and that was the first coherent hit in English. I simply felt the call to link to it. |

Ah, I see ... that was a reply to me. I was wondering what on earth that link was all about. Well, ... no, that's not even remotely close (for starters, two of your letters are wrong, but the author of the work in question would be quite pleased that there was some (considerable!) difficulty in deciphering the text) ... but thanks for pointing me towards a USA-based ensemble I didn't know about, in the meantime.  Another stab? Or other takers? The Google and the internets should point you in the right direction, given the clue above. I can also add that the avatar is a single page from a much larger collection. |

No, it wasn't really an answer to you, aaron, just reporting a bit of architypal Scratch research, and pointing up its serendipitous results. I had the good grace to relay to them the fact that I had posted the link here. Who knows, they might join us for a chat?

Hmmm, I thought I could read W M*Z**T somewhere in there too, so that one's out is it?
Then I wondered about Washo the Chimp. Then I thought about earlyish 1970s computer graphics. And then Canadian seances involving a stylograph. And then, as this was getting nowhere, I sat down and wept rather than babble on.

Could it be a person in a shroud/body bag? A painting of? Or am I being morbid?
Mort, you complain about toe nails... But you have got a point. I thought it looked like some sort of Thai or Buddhist icon, don't ask me why. By the time we work it out Bryn will have morphed into something else. Bring back the Flay, I have been searching for a very fine photograph I saw a few years ago of a Number 3 London Transport bus, lying, IIRC, upside down below a bridge at the top of College Road, Crystal Palace. The driver had somehow managed to plough straight through the parapet and somersault the bus onto its roof! IIRC the only reported injury was a broken leg. Can I find it? Can I Hell! Bryn, somewhat late. Was it this?  It did not land on its roof though... |
