A fold of an alien universe that defies space and time

There's no way I can argue with a Countess.

I found this lovely portrait on Wikipedia. 18th century portraits almost exclusively show people with European looks. But here a Russian painter has painted a Kalmyk girl in 1767.
Give the Countess a happy word — she's had her first novel accepted for publication.
It's easy — just follow the link from The Countess's blog, read about weird supernatural monsters, leave a comment, and you're en

It goes back to the messianic view of these people. "I am the light, and the light knows right." They think that only they know what G.D wants , and I guess G.D doesn't want Kent to pay taxes.

Hey, P. Z., I knew you'd like that. ;)

I really am a Countess. I inherited the title when I married The Count. He's half Hungarian, and that's where the title comes from. It's worth jack shit, since his family has no money anymore, but it's still fun being a Countess. Even if it's in name only.

Countess, Es maga hogy tetszik lenni?

Just curious what is his name? I'm born in Brazil of 100% Magyar ancestry with a couple of coat of arms on my mother's side. No money here either but a rich family history nonetheless.

Some tenous links back to Danish Royalty circa 1100's with a murderous black sheep that ended up living in Hungary. Story sounds a bit like Hamelet. Valami buzlik Daniaban...

LOL, Countess and Fernando. My daddy is also from Hungary, and he told me our family had been part of some noble family too, but he was quite firm that We Are Americans Now, and he wouldn't tell me any more about it. Pity.

You know, Vladimir Putin takes a strong line on this kind of thing:

After wrapping up an online conference last Thursday, Putin took a few minutes to answer several of the most-popular questions sent in by Russian Internet users, Kommersant reported Friday.

...Asked about the possible awakening of the giant mythical octopus Cthulhu, the fourth-most popular question among the more than 150,000 sent to Putin, he said that he believed something more serious was behind the question. Cthulhu was invented by novelist H.P. Lovecraft and was said to be sleeping beneath the Pacific Ocean.

Putin said he viewed mysterious forces with suspicion and advised those who took them seriously to read the Bible, Koran or other religious books.

Fernando, his last name is Levay. He's not even sure if his dad was pulling his leg. His dad liked to make himself sound important, and saying he was a Count is exactly the kind of thing he'd do. I like to think that he was telling the truth. I am a Countess ruling over our tiny home and six cats. I rule here. ;)

Keith Douglas,

Vous ne parlez qu'une langue?

Qué lástima.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons, even paper may be folded into the shape of a Great Old One.

...Hmm. Doesn't scan.
