Who the Bleep are the TAZ?

Hmm...tricksy indeed. Well, I shall attempt to perform to the best of my pineal ability!

Here goes!

---FILE UPLOAD BEGINS---

1) What should a cabbage do if he/she sees a Fnord?

Um...feel a slight sense of unease and fear, and probably go and do something else. Wait, wait, wait. This is a tricksy one, isn't it? They can't actually see them, but when they try to see them, it makes them feel all subconsciously affected! That's it, isn't it?

2) What should a Discordian do if he/she sees a Fnord?

Realise their true purpose, and utilise strength of mind to resist their cunning and subjugating charms. And not point them out to anyone else, lest the pointed-out-to person's brain overheat.

3) Was the Prophet Wilson really on the faculty of an institution known as "Timbuktu U."? (Quote your reference.)

Umm...pff...yes, yes he was? I'd think so, after much neural net combing and several overheats of this poor browser.
Assuming that "Timbuktu U." refers to the same mysterious entity as "Timbuktu University", then my reference would be:

Timbuktu University staff (alumni include no less than Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, and John Lilly)

Or do you need a neural net address? Oh dear, I hope I've done well on this one.

4) How does Peter Lamborn Wilson figure in all this?

Ooh, ooh! He came up with the idea of Temporary Autonomous Zones, didn't he?

5) What is the significance of "Ong's Hat"?

It was/is the one of the earliest conspiracy theories, created off the existence, or lack of, a "ghost town" with the same name.

Oh, and as a bonus answer, what would your TAZ ship be called?

Pff....well, I'd go for [TAZ]Kadeshi.Nebula, personally.

---FILE UPLOAD TERMINATED---

Well, that was quite exciting! I think something inside my head melted, twitched or jacknifed. Possibly all three.

Toodle-pip!
