You laugh, and yet I remember the day when Hugh Nibley brought up the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail in a PoGP class I took from him.

The "good stuff" is still around. Just read Brant Gardner's essay connecting the Aztec Jaguar Warriors to the Gadianton Robbers for a fine current example of parallelomania.

I remember reading the Hyrum Key while on bedrest as a missionary. I picked it up from the bargain section at the downtown minneapolis B&N a few days before my visit to the ER and subsequent emergency appendectomy. It was probably all the percocet I was popping like pez that dulled the pain. After reading it I thought of the connections and oddly also thought of Nibley and his "everything is Mormonism" worldview.

Sad, sad, sad sad excuses for research.

Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning
