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.
It looks like the reflected sign below the clocks says "colon room," and for our purposes that's auspicious, for the colon in a modern clock brings the digital realm to the analog one pictured. Yes, this is a time travel device. For vital instructions on how to use these sorts of photos for mystical ends, see How to Hoodoo Hack a Yearbook.
This time-bending photograph is from Lambuth's 1977 yearbook.
We spotted a temporal anomaly at "the crookedest church in the world." This Greek church, in the village of Ropoto, became wonky due to a landslide. There are two clock towers (bravo!) with faces that don't agree. (The guys from Exploring the Unbeaten Path venture inside the church for a mind-warping experience.) You'll likely have already diagnosed this temporal anomaly: as David Miller has said, "when space is folded, time is folded." Yet profound mysteries yet abound: how is this church intact, resting as it does at that incredible angle?
"[O]nce you see past the mechanistic worldview beaten into our brains from a very early age you realize the world is constantly speaking to us in a language we seem to have forgotten. Or at least most have forgotten." –Christopher Knowles, "Foresight is 2020"
