Ric... That's an old (very old actually) test for diagnosing potential fertility problems in pre-puburic teens. Actually, this one can be traced back nearly 2000 years to a very strange ritual that performed by an odd hybrid of Coptic and Egyptian Neo Death Book worshipers. It was their belief that some day a prophet would be found in similar manner. The prophet would be revealed by the fact that a vibration of exactly 438 Hz applied at the midpoint of the Telelurgic Receptacle on the human forehead (also known in some other cultures as the location of the minds eye) would illicit a sympatico vibration in the tongue which would begin a strange undulating motion and end in an extreme extrusion of the tip. The tip would eventually reach a point of vibratory harmonic protraction at exactly 180 degrees out of phase but at the same frequency. This would cause what was called then an Atmos'phar Ik disturbance that gave the illusion of a sine wave shaped snake protruding from the tongue. It was believed that the "snake" would impart the Word of the Divine Creator in a stone tablet by spiting a thread of fire, searing the Word into the stone. Religion is a strange thing indeed... That medical science should somehow pick up on this one should suprise no one :) Cheers RicB Richard Moody wrote: > When I was a kid I guess around 8 or 9 I vaguely remember a > doctor office visit where the Dr. struck a large tuning fork and > held it on my head.
