This last fortnight reminded me

to keep up with znet, and let the occasional idea sneak in through the trepan holes in my skull. Those who care for such things will doubtless have this link, but just in case:

Other news: Weekend cool, today good, writing better, gerbils cute, boot awake.

All I want for Christmas is a normal sleep pattern.

South Sea Magic

I refuse to do anything else sensible today. Instead, here is a love spell from the Pacific islands:

NAKIMOA
The Love Spell

To win a woman, take an onibua coco-nut and sprinkle the contents over your head. Recite as follows, looking in the direction of the woman you want:

Thou goest to make speak, and thou goest to make come,
Thou goest to make fall and thou goest to kill.
Thou comest to turn mad, oh, she is mad-oh!
Aa, she is black mad, that woman!
Aa-e she is mad for her food here between my thighs, here.
The fish to cry west, the fish to cry east,
Cry towards south-oh-oh!

Repeat three times then throw away the nut and watch it come to rest. If it's mouth is turned towards you, good luck in your pursuit, if its mouth is turned away, success is not yet yours.

I have heard this spell is particularly successful if you do it buck naked in high heels.
