Being born at +tractive, talented or into a very loving family is an example of KEST + luck. It also indicates a happy, carefree state with + little stress, strife and worry.

    Other than that I'd rather quit my job than have to maintain code written like that, I have one comment. The following:
    unless ($G) { if (!($P) && $shifted =~ /\w/) { @files = split /,/, $shifted; foreach (@files) { warn "You asked me to eat \"$_\" and I\'m going to taste it and s +ee if its real.\n" if $D; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n $!\n (...because of this error, i'm going to stop)\n +" unless -e $_; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n It\'s a directory, not a file.\n (try this):\n\nls $ +_ | perl -pe \'s/^/$0 $_\\//;' > shx && sh -x shx\n\n" if -d $_; warn "Yep, tastes like a file.\n" if $D; eat($_); } } elsif ($P) { smoke(); } elsif ($s) { subliminal_meaning($s); } elsif ($m) { individual_meaning($m); } else { die "$usage"; } } else { if (!($P) && $shifted =~ /\w/) { @files = split /,/, $shifted; foreach (@files) { warn "You asked me to eat \"$_\" and I\'m going to taste it and s +ee if its real.\n" if $D; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n $!\n (...because of this error, i'm going to stop)\n +" unless -e $_; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n It\'s a directory, not a file.\n (try this):\n\nls $ +_ | perl -pe \'s/^/$0 $_\\//;' > shx && sh -x shx\n\n" if -d $_; warn "Yep, tastes like a file.\n" if $D; imagine($_); } } elsif ($P) { plumbing(); } elsif ($s) { subliminal_meaning($s); } elsif ($m) { individual_meaning($m); } else { die "$usage"; } }
    would be better written as
    if (!($P) && $shifted =~ /\w/) { @files = split /,/, $shifted; foreach (@files) { warn "You asked me to eat \"$_\" and I\'m going to taste it and s +ee if its real.\n" if $D; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n $!\n (...because of this error, i'm going to stop)\n +" unless -e $_; die "You fed me \"$_\" and I couldnt find it or couldnt touch it +because...\n It\'s a directory, not a file.\n (try this):\n\nls $ +_ | perl -pe \'s/^/$0 $_\\//;' > shx && sh -x shx\n\n" if -d $_; warn "Yep, tastes like a file.\n" if $D; if ($G) { imagine($_); } else { eat($_); } } } elsif ($P) { if ($G) { plumbing(); } else { smoke(); } } elsif ($s) { subliminal_meaning($s); } elsif ($m) { individual_meaning($m); } else { die "$usage"; }
    Similarly,
    foreach(sort keys %switches) { ${$_}= "$switches{$_}"; print " * \$$_ is switched \"$switches{$_}\"" if $D; if ($switches{$_} eq '1') { print " (ON)" if $D; } if ($switches{$_} eq '0') { print " (OFF)" if $D; } print "\n" if $D; }
    is probably better written as
    foreach(sort keys %switches) { ${$_}= "$switches{$_}"; if ($D) { print " * \$$_ is switched \"$switches{$_}\""; if ($switches{$_} eq '1') { print " (ON)"; } if ($switches{$_} eq '0') { print " (OFF)"; } print "\n"; } }
    Also, in...
    $G ? ( $extra = " ***GAPS***" ) : ( $extra = " >>>SIGNALS<<<" ); $S ? ( $H ? print "WIDTH\tCOUNT\tSPOON$extra\n" : 0 ) : ( $H ? print "WIDTH\tCOUNT$extra\n" : 0 );
    you seem to be missing the point of the trinary operator. Yes you could use it like a shorthand 'if', but its job is to select between to choices of data rather than code. I wouldn't mention it except you've got a textbook case for its usage here!
    $extra = $G ? " ***GAPS***" : " >>>SIGNALS<<<"; $H and print $S ? "WIDTH\tCOUNT\tSPOON$extra\n") : "WIDTH\tCOUNT$extra\n";
    Based on that, I'm wondering if you've got a bug (a missing print) here:
    $S ? "$_\t$seen{$_}{count}\t$seen{$_}{spoon}\n" : print "$_\t$seen +{$_}{count}\n";
    I also think you've got way too much useless use of quotes (e.g. "$usage"), and unnecessary backwhacking of quotes.

    ... ok ... I know a lot of people are really puzzled by this post. (As evidenced by the moderators moving it around, trying to figure out where it goes, or considering deletion (!?) because they don't get it.

    )

    Well I don't either. But I'm not willing to delete something that isn't outrightly offensive, slanderous, or inaccurate simply because i don't understand it.

    My best guess is that this is related to 'runes' - those (what some might call 'new-age-y') sets of chits used for divination, etc.. Analogs would include Tarot Cards & the I Ching.

    But there's certainly a lot more going on there...

    Cider, am I even close? This is cryptic, but I wouldn't call it obfuscated.



    Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!

      He's listing the Elder Futhark runes (with Latin Characters) and their corresponding Anglo-Saxon Futhorc runes. For example, H in Elder Futhark was halgalaz and in Anglo-Saxon it became ᚻ (haegl), both usually symbolizing hail, or A in Elder Futhark corresponds to ansuz which was changed to correspond to o in A-S Futhorc as ᚩ (os), symbolizing god. I don't know where the other meanings come from, though I would guess from the "magic" in the title it has to do with that, and can think of much better ways to assign new "meanings" to Latin characters.

      See omniglot for more information

      "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum - I think that I think, therefore I think that I am." Ambrose Bierce

      I'm not entirely sure it does anything but test for the existance of a file and test to see if the file is a directory. There's talk of eating, spoons, etc. But I'm not actually seeing it do anything.

      Perhaps its art on some level. To me, it's schizophrenic.

    OK, who taught William Burroughs Perl? Own up!

    My guess is it belongs in poetry.

    Question for ya: in eat and smoke (which are essentially the same except for where they read input from), you have split /\s+/. Analogously, I would have thought imagine and plumbing would both do split /\S+/... yet only imagine does that; plumbing does split /\B+/. Is that correct? If so, could you explain why that works?

    I knew slf and he believed this was his greatest creation. He was as much genius as crazy... he thought that his life may have been in jeapordy because of what he was uncovering... He claimed to have found secret meaning in all sorts of things including those oddly pointless spam emails that simply spew what we see as gibberish and never actually give any advertisments or links. He said that it wasnt just the people running our country (not the gov but the real power), but all sides were in on it. He was scared for his life because of what he was uncovering with his runic stacking. He ended up being killed by police. Dont believe everything in the articles either. He was somewhat desperate to pass this (and possibly more code that accompanied it, I'm unsure) knowledge along. I am glad to have found it! Please do not delete it simply because you cannot understand it, in fact I humbly request that you keep backups and pass it along until somebody understands it again.
