are you Sophisticated? are you genuinely Hip? Do you like Pizza?

Sure, click.

Look. I said This Thing was Famous.

I wasn't jiving you. I wasn't lying.

I bothered a stranger a few days ago and put the PizzaQ URL in my e-mail. The guy replied:

Yes I recognized your object --
where did you get it?

He was implying that This Thing -- in its Solid Object form -- is Very Rare. There aren't a lot of these floating around. I know of one other, I think it's on display in New York City. You could go there and REALLY see this thing in all its 3D Solid glory. (What you're seeing now is a projection of a 3D object onto a flat 2D plane.) If you really kissed up to the Keepers of this Object, they might even let you touch it.


So much for the Solid Object.

What's really Famous is its Essence, what it actually represents. Exactly like an Idol. An idol is just a thing of wood or gold or ivory that represents its god or goddess who, ordinarily, you can't see or touch or co-exist in the same room with it.

So this is an idol of some plastic kind of stuff which represents the Famous Thing. Because we don't co-exist in the same SpaceTime or Universe as the Famous Thing. So the people who worship This Thing made a couple of idols out of it.


Abbas from Toronto got the Ballpark right. We're talking Math(s) here.

A wealthy man asked Euclid to teach him geometry.
At the end of the first lesson about points, lines,
dimension and angles, the man said,

"I think I understand all that. But what can I do
with it? How can I make profit from it?"

Euclid beckoned his slave and said,

"Give the man a few pennies,
because he insists on profiting
from knowledge."

So how Famous is This Thing? You probably think it's really a geek nerd super-obscure thing, and not Really Famous like Britney Spears or Fed-Ex or Madonna or Nancy Pelosi.

Well, most people think Famous = Money.

So, to get your attention, here's another Hint. This Thing has a Secret in it. And if you Solve The Secret, you win

U$1,000,000

(You'll probably have to pay taxes on it.)

So now you agree that it's Famous, right? Or at least Worthy of Your Respect and Attention and Curiosity.

But the Vleeptron PizzaQ Ministry wishes everyone to know that if they REALLY want to think of themselves as educated and sophisticated and [wo]men of the world and been around the block and in-the-know and genuinely Hip, then This Thing would be as instantly recognizable to You as all these other Solid Objects.

MORE GUESSES! Ask your pals. Ask people you hate. Ask your Mom. Ask your Dad. Phone Klaas in Rotterdam.

But don't ask a math professor, that's a Violation of the Vleeptron PizzaQ Honor Code.

You can ask your high school math teacher -- they have a very high-class way of saying "Doh!" -- but no university math professors.

hiya -x-x shazza x-x-

you came in on this Movie a little late, but that's okay.

I post "Pizza Questions" -- little puzzles and riddles and mysteries for people to try to answer.

(If you're the first to answer correctly, you win some pizza -- but you have to come to my town, or i have to buy it for you if I ever come to your town.)

Okay, in the image at the top of this post, I'm asking "What is the Thing" which the blue hand points to? (The Thing under the King Kong image.)

This Thing is actually very famous -- not famous like Michael Jackson or George Bush, not CNN or Fox News famous, but to a certain group of people, this Thing is authentically famous, and a Thing of great Interest and Mystery.

Okay, clear now? That's what I'm asking about. The object that looks like a goofy bunch of mountains.

Oh -x- shazza x-x- --

and the $1,000,000 Prize for solving the Mystery which this Thing represents -- that's still out there waiting to be won. So first win a slice of pizza by telling me what this Thing is.

(Actually, you're months too late, somebody already won the Pizza.)

And then solve The Mystery Of This Thing, and win the million bucks.

Anyway, who are you, where are you? Your nick had a dead-end link. How'd you stumble on my Vleeptron blog and this question?

In 2000, she joined the New Black Panther Party in which she became the Chairwoman of the Washington DC Chapter. She formally resigned from the organization in 2003 because of conflicting beliefs with the NBPP.

National Alliance of Black Panthers

On 31 July 2004, she formed the National Alliance of Black Panthers. Like the Salvation Army, it promotes community relief projects for the needy and emergency organizing and assistance during disasters. The organization has community workers in the U.S., Canada and Africa. Nzingha is an advocate for the homeless in the nation's capital and conducts many community projects for the relief of the poor.
