Reverend Loveshade: Apocrypha Discordia

Apocrypha Discordia was proposed by somebody who told or posted the idea to
Steve Jackson, a long-time Discordian who at the time was running a Discordian
discussion site. Jackson, who created the Illuminati card game, published Principia
Discordia in 1994 and included a note about possibly publishing an Apocrypha
Discordia, if they got enough material in the true Discordian spirit. In 1994,
Reverend Loveshade, then known as Episkopos Loveshade, wrote some
Discordian stuff and submitted it. After hearing nothing for quite a while, in 1995 the
Rev allowed BloodStar to publish some of this material on a website as being from
the Non-Existent Apocrypha Discordia. As far as we can tell, this was the first site
to claim to have material from any version of Apocrypha Discordia.

In 2001, at the same time that a radical group was planning an attack on New York
City and Washington D.C., the Apocrypha Discordia was compiled by the Rev.
DrJon Swabey and illuminated by Pope Phil Wlodarczyk III with a lot of cool stuff
by too many people to list here. But it did include a mention of BloodStar and material
by Reverend Loveshade. This did wonders for their egos. It also created an irony in
that material that the Rev had long claimed was from the non-existent Apocrypha
Discordia was now in the existent Apocrypha Discordia. Later these were translated
into German, becoming part of Apocrypha Diskordia

Below is a link to the entire Apocrypha Discordia, 2nd edition; selections by
Reverend Loveshade that appeared in the first version of Apocrypha Discordia, the
1995 online version; and a copy of a Wikipedia article on the books, all suitable for
printing and wrapping fish.

(Note that "Five Blind Men and an Elephant" appeared in the both the original 1995
online edition and the 2001 printed edition of Apocrypha Discordia.)
