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).
Crossing your eyes to bring the two lamp posts into a single glowing sphere will induce alpha brainwaves (as in meditative states), making one more receptive to time travel. From Kent State's 1942 yearbook.
A yearbook-spanning forest is actually a composite of the reflectance of all tree species' canopies and the visible midstory and understory (as per Wilkie and Finn's insights on pixellated woodlands).
A questionable (complete with its own question mark) buffalo effigy. Now that buffalo effigies are endangered, they're less often thrown into bonfires. From Kanas State's 1958 yearbook.
