Possibly my favorite scanno ever

[kestrell]

Not from a text scanned by me, but from a book I downloaded from archive.org, titled _Survivals of Roman Religion_:
a chapter titled "The Egyptian Dieties: Isis, Serapis, and Harpo."

Reread and then reread again. Yes, that is what the text says.

Wander down the page a few lines and find the word "crates."

Still...

Honk if you love Harpo!

Honk!

(I'm trying to work out who that should have been)

Harpocrates

Right. I knew it was there in the tip of my brain, but it wasn't coming forward to consciousness.

Oo, it drives me crazy when I know I know something but it is skittering around in the corners where I can't catch it.

On the other lobe, I'm fascinated by the cognitive process which allows me to know I know something while not being able to bring it into immediate recall.

"On the other lobe, I'm fascinated by the cognitive process"

Indeed! I wonder how it all evolved.

from Wikipedia on Harpocrates:

Many Discordians consider Harpo Marx to have been a contemporary avatar of Harpocrates. Because of this, Discordians often invoke Harpocrates as a Trickster god or God of Humor in addition to his classical attribution of God of Silence.

So . . "Harpocrates" might not be the best name for a moving company? Rats, there goes another bright idea.
