    Do the Hari Krishnas know something we don't?

    I've been at a client in Shaftesbury Avenue for the last few months, and every few days we hear a group of Hari Krishnas chanting in procession round the West End. (I think their base is in Soho Square nearby.)

    But starting this week, one of them has been chanting dirges non-stop for hour after hour every afternoon. On and on he drones incessantly, "oggi, oggi, oggi, ...hoooo, aggi, aggi, aggi, ...".

    I wonder if they know something we don't. I mean the World isn't due to end until 2012 is it?

        Yes, they know that consumerism is a crock of 5hit and it will make you miserable.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          You sure it's not a drunk who's tagged on the end of the procession for a laugh?

            Ah yes. That will be the Welsh chapter. This coincides with the start of the 6 Nations every year. Can you see one perhaps carrying an inflatable sheep and/or a giant Daffodil?
