However there was a mystery conected with the monks responsible for the tests that nobody could guess, as to the nature of the experiments they were conducting. The laboratory was set In the monastery's Vine yards, these had been grown during the monks abortive tests with some of the greek gods of ancient times.The exp- -erimentors claimed that they had failed to find the secret of the strange goat legged god of the woods, and another that had destroyed a ship by making vine grow all over it, the mystery was that these elder respected monks, the-most inteligent ( some say cunnkling ) of the monastery had anounced the greek gods to be dead. but why the vines remained growing In the grounds was a matter of much debate. For many month the monks stayed in the laboratory hut became sinister ghost figures,, never seen except when collecting the grapes that they claimed they enjoyed to eat, and this was all they "ate". Finally the day came when the monks said they would reveal the results of their experimentation, and the monastery would know for sure the scientific strength of this Christian god .and devil duality duo. The preceding s began with the monk superior giving a '-•...'•• '- on the virtues of this Christian stuff, how he had always known etc etc was indestructable and ever lasting, on and on in this particular Christian way before allowing the real experimenters onto the platform to reveal the results; he even anounced them as " our vict- -ors in the Christian cause " and they rose from their seats. They rose from their seats, that is: one monk managed to get up, two others staggered up clinging to each oth- -er fell down legs In air, the fourth arose as if woken from a deep sleep, looking around wide red eyed, fell over the other two on the ground with a curious sound of glass on stone, finally all four made it walking stag- gering flailing over the grain in the wooden floor, and generally walking on a floor more tilted and warped than any other had ever perceived it to be. They stood on the stage that the monk superior had had erected, stood and swayed from side to side glaring mean- -inglessly, then one began to speak; " After our extensive experiments we have come to our conclusion about the permanentness of this Christian god devil combo, Forget it man they wont last, another dead one this, what we had thought of as being indestructable etc etc is in fact of reality paper thin and chalk brittle, a pile of shit. " The audience sat shocked and the head monk superior a mite dazed eyed, he then, in tones befitting the ranks of the experimenter monks, asked them the reasons for their conclusions. Which they replied was the fact that the Christian fake was entirley soluble in Alcohol, and was therefore not a permanent force. To which the experiment- er monk added a loud vomit burp in effect marking the end of the Christian god/devil control of this exceptional monastery in Time-zone medieval Germany. 3 7
