Thirteen floors up, in a watchtower, without anyone noticing, set yourself on fire, then swan dive out the window, chanting (until the words elide): I am I am I am….
yeah, do this guys. I'm sure it will turn out allright.

I think his account may have been hacked. We should consult the TOAD on this issue.

If his account really was hacked, his IP will have suddenly jumped. Being that he can see our IP addresses, Toady would be the proper authority for this.

Apparently.

Also I would like to add I am confused how you could have a 'translation.'

The Necronomicon was originally written by a mad Arab in a large variety of languages.
This particular passage was written in Greek.

The Necronomicon is a fake book made up for Lovecraft's stories.

Heh, I haven't been hacked.  My avatar has been like that since I copied the text from someone who got accused of being a spambot for trying to share a cool site with us.  Unfortunately, it would appear that thread has been deleted.

I just posted this here because parts of it actually seem weirdly beautiful to me, although I'll leave the original source up to you guys to dig out if that comes across as more fun/important than ruminating upon the meaning.

I can't tell if cript is either unable see the sarcasm or is using some sort of creepy counter-sarcasm here.
