I've never been able to figure out...is that guy at the start an Egyptian pharoh or a Buhddist Monk, or what? He kinda' looks like something along that line. I'm surprised someone hasn't taken offense to that in today's over active P.C. country!

[anomalogue]

@jfpinell I'm guessing he's a Hindu ascetic of some kind. So far I haven't gotten any complaints except for one nut who thought he saw satanic codes embedded in the psychedelic awesomeness.

[jfpinell]

@anomalogue Not that *I* mind at all. I like this one. I'm trying to figure out why he has 4 hands though. I think I seen the "666" comment here somewhere, but I can't see it anywhere.

[anomalogue]

@jfpinell It is a humorous allusion to the four-armed deities of Hinduism.

[jfpinell]

@anomalogue Do you know where that supposed satanic code is? I'm not sure what he was refering to. I sure don't see anything. You're talking about the 2nd set of counting, right? -The one with what looks like changing wallpaper (to me at least)....?

[anomalogue]

@jfpinell I think he was seeing those orange and blue interlocking spirals as 6s.

Is it me....or does this sound like something The Beatles would have done on REVOLVER in 1966....CLASSIC....You can just hear Lennon singing this with The Ravi Shankar influenced George Harrison on the SITAR....The Greatest song The Beatles never wrote...

The memories the memories- thanks for the memories :-) I'm four years old again.

They did this in English and Spanish. did any of the other foreign SS's borrow this and translate it?

[jfpinell]

@anomalogue You mean on 15? I wonder what tavern he was in before watching this? :)

[jfpinell]

@SEHANO A who or a where?

[jfpinell]

@anomalogue The what and the where?
