by Lynn & A Man Called Da-da
Hi all, and welcome to Five for Friday #11! Da-da is breaking with tradition on this installment by adding a SIXTH photo... as it's Lynn and Da-da's one-year anniversary working together! Seems much longer, but it's the mileage, not the years. Anyway, doff that old paradigmatic hat, 'cause here we go.

"I get a conflict when I try to view this. There's a dark story associated with this. I never really thought about this being dark, but there's something ominous about this. There's a hero and a villain involved, but it's the same person. I keep getting references to childhood games, like you go in the bathroom on Halloween and do the 'Bloody Mary' mirror thing. This guy was a hero, but then people intentionally began to see him as a villain. He was trying to do good (he actually rid the town of rats), but then the town turned on him, refused to pay up, and turned him into a villain. He then became synonymous with the boogieman. Parents would say, "Do your chores or the Pied Piper will get you." He did what he was supposed to do, but then became vengeful when the town failed to pay him. Then they made up this story about him to cover up their own reneging on the contract. [Sounds familiar.] They villainized him for doing good, and made up this story about taking the kids away, but it's not true. It became a fairy tale. He just wanted payment for what he did, but the parents and the townspeople kept the fairytale alive."

"I do not see this ever being redistributed to the masses. I do get that all this money belong to the British Monarchy; it's old money that's been gathered forever. No one has as much money as they do. They have gold-lined tombs beneath the castle. That's why you see the Queen's signature there. How much money? I want to use the word "googol" [the root word that Google used for their name] for the amount. They're hoarding and gobbling up money like crazy. It's hidden and dispersed very intelligently, segmented out all over all the members of the monarchy. They have 10^100 amount of money [or ten thousand sexdecillion British pounds]. Really, I see the monarchy has a near-infinite amount of money. It's all so hidden and partitioned off that no one will ever be able to retrieve it who doesn't own it." Austerity, indeed. "As for why 'White Spiritual Boy'? It's a play on words -- but I can't tell what that is."Da-da note:
To further demonstrate the size of this number, let's look at a googol. It's...
10^100
or a ONE with 100 zeroes after it, like this:
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
If they gave the 6.8 billion people on earth just 1% of this money to divide amongst ourselves, we would all have $10^88 in our bank accounts. Makes money almost meaningless... which it is. Why people worship royalty is beyond Da-da.

AND NOW, the BONUS pic for this special anniversary edition...
BONUS: Who was Spring-heeled Jack?
Backstory: The infamous entity known as, "Spring-heeled Jack" was first sighted in England in 1837, and lastly in 1904, and has since spawned countless plays and books, pamphlets and articles throughout historical geekdom. Here's a snippet from an excellent write-up on Horrorpedia:
Just like the Pied Piper, the lore surrounding Spring-heeled Jack was also used by Victorian parents as their own local boogeyman, inducing fear in children who weren't behaving in a proper Victorian manner (that is to say, failing to remain invisible).
So, who was Spring-heeled Jack? Real entity or gentleman-trickster? Or was this perhaps a few accounts of general shenanigans blown into a larger newspaper-selling ploy?
What Lynn Saw
"I get that this is a lower-dimensional being that was here. He didn't interact with humans, but was a very low-level vibrational entity that was here, that people sometimes saw. He defied gravity as he wasn't bound by our physical laws [kinda like mothman].When he manifested himself, he was able to appear here, but then shift quickly into darkness. Very dark, very menacing. He had the mentality of someone in a mental institution."Wow. Check, please. Join us Friday-after-next for episode #12!
