We don't want to toot our own horn, but...no wait. Yes we do. This is the article on Apocrypha Discordia as it appeared in Wikipedia at 5.37 hours Greenwich Mean Time on 23 Chaos 3172. (We also have the Wikipedia article on Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht and Discordian Works). Or see the current Wikipedia article on Apocrypha Discordia (which may not exist right now--if not, make it!). (The cynic might suspect that we had something to do with editing this article. Would we do that?) Apocrypha Discordia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Apocrypha Discordia is a collection of various works on Discordianism, compiled by Rev. DrJon Swabey from various non-copyrighted (or Kopylefted) sources, including fragments from both on line and printed sources. It includes illuminations from the Melbourne small press zine artist Pope Phil Wlodarczyk III. The concept for the book came as Steve Jackson Games was preparing its 1994 edition of Principia Discordia. According to that edition's introduction, someone on the net suggested they publish an Apocrypha Discordia if they got enough material in the true Discordian spirit. Several people sent the company submissions, but the book was never published. Perhaps the first appearance of writings that claimed to be part of Apocrypha Discordia were posted online sometime between 1995 and 1997 by Reverend Loveshade. Ironically, one of these, "Five Blind Men and an Elephant," actually did become part of the book when it was completed in 2002. Although some Discordian cabals consider the work to be canonical, others deny the existence of any canonical document of Discordianism. It may be considered a sequel to the Principia Discordia, or it may be a complete joke. This dicotomy of religion vs. joke is a fundamental part of the book, and indeed of Discordianism itself. Significant contributors to the work include Prince Mu-Chao ("The Discordian Manifesto #3", etc.), Reverend Doctor Hexar le Saipe ("Chaosophy"), The Beatus Ffungo (selections from Summa Discordia), Reverend Loveshade ("Five Blind Men and an Elephant" from Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia), and St. Pesher the Gardener ("Novus Ordo Discordia"). The work is available on line, and has also been published in a print on demand edition by Synaptyclypse Generator, a Discordian sect, affiliated to POEE UK and dedicated to the preservation of important Discordian works. Persistent rumour states that a samizdat copy of the Apocrypha Discordia has been smuggled onto the shelves of the American Library of Congress.
