Um, look on the back of one of the dollar bills in your pocket...
Eye in the Pyramid!
1992-1776 = 216 years old (Not bad for a Masonic country)

But, but, _Foucault's Pendulum_ is so damned hard to wade through.
For a good non-fictional effort check out _Born in Blood_, which
came out a year or two ago. It discusses the probable connection
between the Masons and the Knights Templar.
But for a _really_ bizzarro theory, check out a book called _Holy
Blood, Holy Grail_ (don't remember the author, but could dig it
up if anyone needs it). Talk about grand, specious theory.
According to this one, JC didn't die on the cross, but went instead
to the south of France with his wife, Mary Magdalene, where he
settled down and raised a family. The descendents became the royal
rulers of a Jewish principality of the early Dark Ages (c. 600 C.E.)
who later became the kings of France. This info was closely guarded
by a secret organization called the Priory of Zion that was so
hidden nobody ever heard of it. They, supposedly, were the real
movers behind the Knights Templar. Lots of stuff from the Grail
Cycle is adduced as evidence, and there's numerous instances of
taking historical anomalies and tailoring this theory to explain
them. Just about everything except JFK's assasination is tied in.
Great stuff!

BLACK MAGIC, 9 TO 5
>From "The Office Witch," by Laurel Olsen, in the Beltaine 1991 issue of
the Lavender Pagan Newsletter, a quarterly published in Oakland,
California. Beltaine is a pagan holiday that occurs on May 1.
The topic of the day is photocopiers, which have some pretty strange
things inside them that enhance their ability to catch and hold psychic
energy. The corona wires, for example, are twenty-four-karat gold, and
some of the lenses can take a "charge" as well as a crystal can. so
obviously, copiers are very sensitive to negativity; frequent breakdowns
are the result.
My solution is to hang a totem behind the copier to attract all the
loose, unfocused energy that is directed at the machine. I take four
one-inch-wide strips of black construction paper and string them
together with cotton twine. With my glue stick, I draw a
counterclockwise circle on each strip. (The glue stick is the wand that
binds the spell.) Every two weeks or so I put up a new circle. I take
the old one to a public waste receptacle at a busy intersection near
work, dump it in, and go on my way WITHOUT LOOKING BACK.
While nothing except divine intervention can make a copier completely
breakdown-proof, what this spell does is alter the energy in the room
where the copier is located. Users have a calmer attitude, and
breakdowns due to "operator error" are reduced to nil.
