The Principia Discordia:

An odd question, and honestly the first answer isn't really as interesting as the second (which will only apply to a few folks, I think...)

1) Without looking it up first, do you know what it is?

2) If so, how did you hear about it?

I, myself, first came across this bizzare concept myself, in relation to a fellow named Joshua A Norton (first proclaimed Emperor of the United States and protector of Mexico) via wikipedia. 

No, I'm not a Legionnaire.
Ponder it.

Stephan

Damn!, As I feared, somone was bound to ferret out my true religion.  Stupid "stumble upon"and other such random search coding has made it all but impossible to remain in obscurity.

Yes.  I stumbled upon it in high school.  It probably had something to do with my deep love of hotdogs.

     I was one of the lucky 25.  Might explain a few things, huh?

Never heard of it before, but I googled it, and want to read it.  Thanks for the interesting item

I think its a rite of passage for any geeky, over-educated type who loves science fiction, hates his or her parents, thinks all religion is a crock and listens to esoteric music unlike whatever "the kids" are supposed to be listening to.  I.E.  Me.  at 16.  My wife, at about the same time.  Heard about it in high school.  Met some "Discordians" in college.  Put it all in my file for later use.

My question:   How can you be a Discordian without using a lot of drugs?

How many is "a lot", and does a riotous but fully lived youth mean that I am whatever the heck this is? ~far too lazy to google~
