California Cults

A review of a new book documenting the creepier cults currently in existence in California

Man, I cannot imagine how torturous the research must have been for this book. Eventually I think the mind would break down when confronted with all of that fruitloops with windchimes and power crystal action. Makes me homesick for California as I remember it when the millenium changed. I remember walking near the Huntington Beach pier with my sister and watching some guy wearing a turban bowing in prayer before a stop sign and attempting to proselytize passers-by with the knowledge that space aliens were coming to abduct them when the millenium changed, and as he had already been abducted once or twice, there was nothing to worry about.

Cool Google hack...

I can't remember if I posted this already, but go to Google and type the following: +("Index of")+mp3

Apache by default (unless you have an index.htm or index.html page in your htdocs directory) displays ("Index of") at the top of an automatically generated page displaying the contents of your htdocs folder. And since people running open web servers usually are doing it to share shit with their friends and just want people to be able to browse through their folders, they delete the index page that comes by default with an installation of Apache. So this search finds open webservers that are sharing mp3s.
Want to find a specific artist? +("Index of")+mp3+("Madonna")
Want to find movies? Just do this: +("Index of")+(avi|mpg|wmv|divx)

Want to just find open web servers? Just type: +("Index of")....

The Internet is so cool =)
