Sunday: Secret secrets of secret secrets

I know everyone's complained about cable channels sucking.  However, tonight after Mythbusters, Discovery decided to have a stupid show about the Bermuda Triangle (surprise, it's not aliens!) and then a show actually called "Secrets of Secret Societies".  That is the stupidest title ever.  Also, it was basically nothing but crazy people and paranoid crazy people.  Way to discover stuff.  You know how we know that secret societies aren't actually running the world?  Because the world barely limps along in a constant state of failure.  I'd hope that people capable of keeping their control of the world secret would be able to not fuck everything up all the time.

"But maybe that's just what they want you to think while they enslave everyone!"  No.  That seems even more complicated than not fucking up everything.

Sidenote about shows with titles that are weird:  I was watching Animal Planet and they kept advertising "Pitbulls and Parolees." Guess what title I kept hearing?

And then I was hungry.

Because ukiyoe.

• I'm unclear why this is "automatic."
• Randomly discovered this story this morning.  Reasonable followup to At the Mountains of Madness, even if it was written more than sixty years after the death of the original author.
• I need a third link, and that story reminded me of The Big O, although it's far more fatalistic than Roger Smith ever was.
