Appologies if this has been investigated previously.
I happened to notice that LGs latest vlogs have included some rather strange tags that seem somewhat discordant with the actual content of the videos. At first glance these appear to only be present on the most recent videos and I have listed them below:
Poor Pluto : cephalopod
A Change In My Life : lepton
Bree The Cookie Monster : ocelot
Swimming : phylum
I was thinking these may be 'clues' for us to follow, and garner further information. To this end I have done some investigation. At the moment I have only come up with some tenuous links but thought I would share this in case others could come up with more.
Obviously the first thing I did was google all four words but only came up with a page that seems to be a list of dictionary words, and part of some software configuration - a dead end I would guess:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=opera&rls=en&q=cephalopod+lepton+ocelot+phylum&btnG=Search
swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/lib/words
I did however find the following: lepton is a scientific term for a type of particle that can exist in three states, the electron, the muon and the tau. The tau part got me thinking of religion - for no other reason than it sounded religiony! Obviously there have been quite a few speculations on LGs religion, but I think I am right in saying it is commonly believed to be 'Crowleyan Thelema'. So I looked it up on Wikipedia and had a read. All very interesting stuff - and I spent a bit of time reading through the articles there - but after a while I thought, well that didn't really offer any further insight - until I saw this link:
"Apiryon, Helena and Tau. The Gnostic Mass: Annotations and Commentary." [on this page : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gnostic_Mass]
Now, ordinarally I would have dismissed this, but what struck me was that the lepton tag was on the vlog that talked about a religious ceremony - and the link above is detailing a Thelemic ceremony.
I'm now trying to see if any of the other tags lead to further expanded information on the content of the videos they are attached to.
