CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.

"I stared at the glowing tree and realized it was something related to the state of my consciousness" (Manuel J. Vargas, Awakening Home: Seeking Heaven on Earth).
We analyzed this spooky hallway with our custom Uncanny Detector app and determined that though the lonesome figure on the steps is not a ghost, he is communing with a spirit. From Duke's 2002 yearbook.
These uncanny multiple exposure shots, exclusively with female subjects, seem to have reached their peak in the 1970s. Presumably they served to promote and perpetuate, if only subliminally, The Three Faces of Eve.
