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.
This is the most chaste Eve we've encountered not wearing a fig leaf. Meanwhile, Adam's fig leaf skirt is rather rare in the Eden fashion line. From Nebelspalter, 1905.
"It may surprise you to hear that the Kabbalah teaches that in the future we're going to realize that we have been in the Garden of Eden all along." —Rabbi David Aaron, Seeing God, 2001 (a very lovely read, by the way!)
