Geek Code
Dean Lenort
knocks the lava lamp off the stand by the door, and asks "What is Kibo? I
read about it on the Geek Code page and rather than do any research I'd
like you to tell me what it is."
So for those of you that have never bothered to find it for yourself, here
is the pertinent data from what I think is the 'official" Geek Code page.
Kibo
Kibo is. That is all that can be said. If you don't understand, read
alt.religion.kibology
K++++++
I am Kibo
K+++++
I've had sex with Kibo
K++++
I've met Kibo
K+++
I've gotten mail from Kibo
K++
I've read Kibo
K+
I like Kibo
K
I know who Kibo is
K-
I don't know who Kibo is
K--
I dislike Kibo
K---
I am currently hunting Kibo down with the intent of ripping his
still-beating heart out of his chest and showing it to him as he dies
K----
I am Xibo
While it isn't a bad start, it doesn't go nearly far enough. There's no
code for having flown from London specifically to meet Kibo and a bunch of
other Kibologists. There's no code for meeting with Kibo to draw pictures
on a piece of plastic over a TV screen while a bad movie plays. There's no
code for having had your ridiculous scientific theories mocked by Kibo.
And as has become readily apparent with just these few examples you can see
that I'm barely scratching the surface!
What's needed is a more meaningful code that describes everyone that Kibo
has ever come in contact with in any way. I'll even get the ball rolling.
K+)*%^$*^$%&
Won a Kibo sponsored contest in 1998 but never got my damn prize.
Kß*Ü
Served Kibo a softdrink on his connecting flight to Las Vegas in 2000.
K8675309
Wrote a song that Kibo heard on the radio in the 1983.

I am a Japanese module of the space station and will probably never post
to USENET unless I gain some sort of unholy, ethereal intelligence, and
then you'll pay, YOU'LL ALL PAY!

See, that's where they don't follow the instructions. It says *read*
alt.religion.kibology, not *ask* alt.religion.kibology. They need to
do that one exercise where you read all the instructions and the last
one tells you not to follow any of the previous instructions. Then
they'll learn how to do as they're told!

We had the exercise where the last instruction tells you not to
follow any of the instructions, not just your wimpy "previous

These poor innocent lambs to the slaughter should also be
forced to read a disclaimer before joining the cult of Leader
Kibo. If this is a cult it's a rip off. Is this the sign of
a cult leader: I've been a dutiful follower for four months.
I did everything I was told. I read the FAQ, I used the buzz
words, I deprived myself of sleep reading 800 posts a night,
I ordered take out, I insulted Joe Manfre, I pouted, I prayed
for Bob Hope to die. For what? I have no secret mission, I
have no deeply ingrained hatred of the word 'pastiche'.
I've been DUPED!
If I'm going to follow some Internet Guru he should at least
strip me of all my worldly possessions, lay claim to my Lexus,
pilage my IRA's and eat all my candy corn. If he isn't capable
of having me change my will and leave everything to him rather
than the Home for Little Wanderers, how powerful can he be?
Am I really supposed to follow his advice and stop eating
cheese when he hasn't forced me to turn over my priceless
Franklin Mint collection? What is the world coming to when
Leaders are too...dare I say it...'NICE' to use their
influence for personal gain.
He can't just tell me to shoot at my television with a potato
gun, he needs to supply the guns AND THE SPUDS! How can I have
a decent standoff with the local grocery police if I'm armed
with an old sprouty, four eyed Russet? Make me dangle like
the puppet I should be or I'm turning in my "I Hate Cheese"
buttons for something more radical like advocating rabid Pit
Bulls as companions for the elderly.

The bit with the sekrit mission is on his website. We get a new one every
week. It's so sekrit he had to post it on the WORLDWIDEWEB so that no one
would ever read it, so don't tell anyone else where it is.

Well considering everyone is really a Kibologist and they just don't know
it yet, maybe everything really belongs to Kibo and he just lets us use
it. Except for Xibo and cheese.

Yeah, and like I have to take the time to figure out which Last Supper
combo holds the correct instructions. What if I pick the Relish Tray
guy over the Yogurt dude and I'm wrong? Huh? I could end up saving Bob
Hope's life and...and...creating a "Boys From Vaudeville" type thing
where hundreds of little Bob Hopes are cloned rather than Kibos.
And would I then have to kill all the little slope noses from a
clock tower? With a potato gun? I can't handle the pressure.

"Bob" can never be deprogrammed. Your only hope is to KILL "Bob"!!
You can't even join another cult without dragging "Bob" along with
you, like the ending of Diablo. The Church is what That Other Cult
would be if The Founder was a good Science Fiction writer. And yet
all who look see something different, for is it not true that "Bob"
is the reflection of all reality, even the bits that are not truth?

On a slightly different tangent, one of the most bizarre elements in my
life right now is that fact that I'm taking a course at university called
"Christianity A: From Damascus To Dante." Apart from the fact that my
lecturer is one of the weirdest guys I've ever known - an expert on
Melanesian religion who likes shaking spears at his class, a former
government consultant on whether or not certain religious movements ought
to be allowed to migrate to Austria and an expert witness in the Sydney
Hilton bombing case, and a Quaker - the class is, naturally enough, filled
with Christians who "love learning about (their) God."
That's fine.
BUT WHY ARE THEY ALL SCIENCE STUDENTS?
Literally. There are twenty-eight people enrolled in the class, of whom I
estimate twenty-two, at the least, are dedicated Christians of various
persuasions - evangelical Protestant, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, et
cetera.
In case anyone's wondering, this digression is sponsored by that guy in my
class who wears a "WWJD" necklace.
Out of those twenty-two Christians, at least fifteen of them introduced
themselves as science students - largely chemistry and, suspiciously
enough, biology; I wonder if they irritate their professors by objecting to
their references to evolutionary processes? - and I can't understand it! I
*know* there are Christians doing arts subjects. I've met them. But why is
it only the science students who cross over into this Christianity course?
I find it bizarre.

I took a Humanities course on Darwin (I forget what it was about
exactly) with an Orthodox Jew, who objected to absolutely everything,
and he was a Bio major. His paper disproved evolution. IIRC, my paper
claimed that Jews were more evolved.
Oddly, I never did too well in Humanities classes.

I don't think he does that anymore. I once repossed a TB oriented newsgroup

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: Christian =/= Creationist.
I'd say that the majority of Christians (at least educated ones) can
accept evolution without conflicting their spiritual beliefs. The
Catholic Church has (by Papal decree) stated that evolution does not
violate church doctrine. Also, most mainline protestant denominations
either accept evolution or de-emphasize origins altogether. The only
group that is really big into creationism are the lunatic fringe. The
fundies who stand around on street corners screaming "Hallelujah!!1!"
while rubbing the KING JAMES version of the bible against their private
parts.
So fuck the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun...

Seriously: Perhaps they're the only ones openminded enough to face the
actual history of their beliefs?

Actually, with that comment I was thinking of the guy who said "I just love
learning about my God," which as a statement betrays his deep commitment to
evangelical Protestantism. Contrast to those who said "I wanted to learn
about the history of the Church" or "the history of my religion," or other
such things - but this guy, who is one of the biology students . . . I'm
not saying he is a creationist, but I was intrigued.

They might *believe* they're open-minded enough . . . but quite a few of
them betray their assumptions regularly. Like the guy who asked what Origen
would have believed about Adam compared to "what all of us here today"
believe. Or the people who end their well-researched presentation on, say,
the life of Saint Anthony of Egypt with a cute little moral lesson, or the
guy who so very obviously wanted to deny that Athanasius intended to have
quite as much power over the early Egyptian monastic movement as he did . .
.
It's not a problem. I mean, I know that these little Christian-centric
quirks of theirs don't go unnoticed by the lecturers, who were very clear
on the fact that this is a course about the historical reality of what
Christianity was like, even though the guy running the course is, as I
said, a Quaker himself - but it's just bizarre, to tell you the truth, that
it's *science* students who feel the need to cross over into humanities
subjects related to their faith, as opposed to say a French-English major
or an Education student taking the course.

Excuse me. "Public news servers" - ones that just anyone could telnet to and
post from. Unlike yours where you have to be on a List of Specialness or
something I bet. There used to be at least one place you could actually
finger to get a list of them; they died out about 1994 or 1995 though.
(Of course, now that everyone uses the Web instead they may be evolving back

It obviously _involved_ Darwin, but I don't remember what the point
was. Just a presenation of the early history of the theory, the life
and times, general history of that time, or what?
As I type this, more details come back to me, so I now believe life
and times bit, with an additional reading of The Book.

So they were teaching creationism in a class on Darwin? Strange.

Yes, I suppose the depressing thing is that you have to give them your
email address and get a password so that they will be able to kick you
off for spamming. Depressing because it reflects the fact that news
admins have to be so concerned about Net abuse now. Still, it doesn't
take anything to visit http://news.cis.dfn.de/ and read the rules and
email them asking for an account. I bet that would also make it
easier for people to see your posts so we wouldn't have to see Peter
Willard complaining about how he can't see you from there. (However,
it's not like a shell account where you could telnet in and use their
pre-configured newsreaders or anything; if you telnet you have to send
your own NNTP commands, but I know you know how to do that.)
I suggest you give it a try; it's a fast server, painstakingly
maintained and with fairly long retention times (at least 15 days for
all hierarchies).
