# There is female artist from the renaissance
named Artemesia Gentileschi. Artemisia is a pretty name but I like better what the addition of amnesia does to it.

# fnord answered this one fairly recently
its from a book, a sci-fi one i think, but cos i know nothing of the genre i can't tell you who the author is. i saved the page he gave as a reference though cos i liked it.

/rumages in HDD

ah, the top of the file says:

From _The_Golden_Apple_ by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson
[as extracted from pp.438f of _The_Illuminatus!_Trilogy_ compilation]

try searching for that on google and you might be able to find it. i didn't save the url you see

# quality reading
fnord is a word inserted into every printed page, but we are brainwashed as children not to be able to see. It's supposed to give us a subliminal feeling if vague paranoia and helplesness, just like real life really,

# good lord
that page is not too far away from my user number.
How wonderful that would have been.
I wonder if I am on page 498 though.
www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/~boogles/Illuminati/fnord.text is the page
