One world has passed away and another arises in its place...Witness the creative force of mankind in it echo of the divine...We indeed have a big bang to herald in the launch of King Kashue's new website, and this installment is loaded with more questions than you can shake a stick at...not that questions do much of anything when you shake a stick at them, no matter how many of them there are...lazy bastards...

We continue with our AUG-STRAVAGANZA, trapsing through the a garden of fragrant and pretty flowers...fertilized, like all pretty flowers, with a generous layer of bull crap...We've got Zodiac signs, dead guys on horses, the mating habits of blue whales, and the rare earth elements Grenadine and Linoleum...Come on in, the water's fine... Though you'll need to make sure you don't disturb the whales...

Continuing with the cheap and gaudy promotion attempts, The Path to Illumination brings you AUG-STRAVAGANZA!!! This first installment includes part of Carl Sagan's catch phrase, epic battles on the high seas, revealing and innapropriate photos, the poetry of a manic-depressive opium addict, and a explanation of why the PlanetDeusEx staff will never ever ever find love...ever...never...doomed...every one of us...doomed to a lonely and cold life...devoid of the warmth a human touch can bring...forever...alone...*pause*...I'm gonna go to an all-you-can-eat Chinese Restaurant...they'll always accept me there...

I am back again...returned from a long and perilous journey...Yes, I realize that I take a lot of long and perilous journeys...I'm mysteriously powerful, it's one of the things that mysteriously powerful people do...Anyway, I have returned from this most recent long and perilous journey with presents...*appropriate oohs and aahs*...Indeed!...I have for you big dogs, a country named after a StarWars character, and links galore...In fact, we have so many links, that in this installment we're going to have a "LINK-A-RAMA"...Oh yeah... get down wit' yo' bad self...

I could tell you why I've been away so long...but then I'd have to kill you... well, maybe not kill you...But I'd definitely have to rough you up a bit...Rather than indulge in fisticuffs, let's get started back down the path to Illumination...I know you've been sitting for a while and your left butt cheek is asleep, but knowledge waits for no man...unless that man happens to be me...'cause I'm the author...But It waits for no one else!...I'm pretty sure ...I'll have to go look that up...

After the intense excitement of the extravaganza that we threw in the last installment, I am extremely tired (those extravaganza's are heavy!) so we're returning to normalcy in this installment...(or a least as normal as we can be with Ghand hanging out)... This week we have King Arthur, Pretty Birdies, and some culture for the seething unwashed masses...no, I'm not talking about you...I'm talking about a totally different seething unwashed mass...don't be so paranoid...

Returing after a medium length absence, I come bearing an extravaganza. This week we have a Lord of the Rings tie-in (hint: It's the title), internet fan-fiction, ancient engineers (other than the ones designing cars for Oldsmobile), 60's Musicals, an answer for what happens when we die, and someone asks THE QUESTION I CANNOT ANSWER™... we are soooooo going to partay!

The number seven is significant in the world beyond our sight...it's unknown power is apparent even in this world...though to the undiscerning its meaning is uncertian...and speaking of uncertainty, this week we've got black holes, severed body parts and a in-depth examination of the phenomenon of "man-nipples"...you won't want to miss it...

The physical world we know is not all there is to be known...beyond the scope of our five senses, a world exists...a world filled with shadowy truths and eternal realities... a world filled with the secrets of existence...a world filled with giant volcanos, mercury thermometers, Heineken beer, and giant sleds full of cheese...oh yeah, you're curious...

Beyond our sight lays a world we do not comprehend...Ethereal, it hangs on the edge of our perception...but the mind can sometimes feel its call...the question niggles within our minds..."what is the Matrix"...oops, sorry, wrong movie...my bad. This week we have Barbarians, Wars (and not quite wars), plus another piece of folklore for Disney to turn into a hackneyed and mindless summer blockbuster...it should be a blast.

The moon hangs low in the sky tonight, it bodes ill for those whose eyes dwell in darkness...but we have the light of our knowledge to illuminate the truth...by its light this week, we can see Nazis, flying pigs, the lost City of Atlantis, and my hair falling out... sound like fun? Of course it does...

Continue down the Path to Illumination, add to your knowledge and grow in power...or just get some handy-dandy tips on how to spice up your school play by using severed body parts and how to turn giant lumps of fungus into beautiful artwork. All of that PLUS a message from Orson Welles on behalf of the Rotund Cinematic Genius Guild...did you know he was in the Transformers movie? Seriously...

The first questions are asked and the first answers are given... Illumination is still far away, but the journey is properly undertaken...draw knowledge from the dark night...and speaking of (k)night, we have Knights of Malta, Knights of the Round Table, and Jedi Knights...well not the last one, but everyone loves STARWARS so I figured more people would read it if I said that was in there...sorry...

Begin down the Path to Illumination. Meet the wise King Kashue and hear his challenge. Can you ask the question he cannot answer? Can any? Are there any who can grasp the eye of the pyramid? We shall soon find out...all of that, PLUS Red Sox Hall of Fame Left Fielder, Carl Yastrzemski!!!
