Pallets in fields

[stuckmotor]

You may be on to something. I believe there was a TV documentary, "The Sopranos," about a family of Italian origin that lived in New Jersey.

Your theory then, is that the pallets mark the location of eleven future frat houses?

I was making an observation, not proposing a theory. However, your logic is flawed. You have overlooked the possibility that lambda can appear more than once in the name of a fraternity. For example, Lambda Lambda Lambda is featured in the documentary movie, "Revenge of the Nerds."

And here's me thinking that it just the number on a bus.

So much to learn...so little time

This bus?

Route 11 was introduced by the London General Omnibus Company in August 1906, and is amongst the oldest routes to have operated continuously in London, although its route has changed on several occasions.

On 5 September 1932, Q1 buses were used on this route which operated from Liverpool Street to Shepherd's Bush.

The route starts at the bus station of Liverpool Street station in the north eastern corner of the City of London and terminates at Fulham Broadway travelling via the West End and some of London's most famous landmarks. The journey from the top deck is a cheap means of sightseeing in London.

Transport for London manager Peter Hendy began his career as a conductor on the route.

On 4 June 2002, Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, the Metropolitan Police flagged down a Number 11 bus and used it as temporary transport for twenty-three peaceful anti-royalty demonstrators whom they had arrested after the demonstration, most of them in a nearby pub. The bus was used to take the protestors to various police stations for questioning. The protesters sued the police, and the Met settled out of court with an apology, an admission of unlawful detention, and a payment of ｣3,500 to each protester.

The route has a cameo appearance in the 2005 film The Da Vinci Code, where the protagonists take a number 11 bus from near Temple Church to get to "Chelsea Library", though they get off at Westminster Abbey; this is the same route the bus takes in real life.

So, are you saying that the pallet formations have something to do with the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar?

Secret scientific note to self -- this may send Dave off on an entirely new tangent.

Poisson distribution with mean lambda.

Scientifically yours,
Steve

Seeing as I continue to be 'on the mend' from my initially horrific digital injuries (the cordon sanitaire has been warily lifted) I have been forced to curtail my scientific pallet(s) experimentation and concentrate on refining/defining the observations of this august assembly of TBN's finest minds. Therefore, these two utterances have stood out: to wit;

"poisson" sounds fishy to me, and

wasn't "lambda" the ancient heraldic device embossed on the shields of the Spartans?

OK -- that's four delusions so far, excluding a mulligan. The General Theory of Delusions is right on track. Steve PS I am surprised that no one has commented on the fact that the upper case of lambda looks like an inverted V and that lambda is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet.

Glad to see you've finally given up on your triangle theory...

Glad to see you've finally given up on your triangle theory...

Sir, I had no "triangle" theory. I was just pointing out that the observed pallet formations formed a triangle. I am not endorsing an "uppercase lambda" theory -- I am pointing out that the aforementioned letter resembles an inverted V.

Tangent yes, new no.

The Knights Templar originated and then joined with the historical roots of the Freemasons during the time of the Crusades. You may recall, I explored the implications of Freemasons and their association with important structures built upon Ley Lines. Yet another of my ideas you dismissed and derided as delusional, I suppose?

"The earliest documented link between Freemasonry and the Crusades is the 1737 oration of the Chevalier Ramsay. This claimed that European Freemasonry came about from an interaction between crusader masons and the Knights Hospitaller. This is repeated in the earliest known "Moderns" ritual, the Berne manuscript, written in French between 1740 and 1744."

"The earliest masonic texts each contain some sort of a history of the craft, or mystery, of masonry. The oldest known work of this type, The Halliwell Manuscript, or Regius Poem, dating from between 1390 and 1425, has a brief history in its introduction, stating that the "craft of masonry" began with Euclid in Egypt, and came to England in the reign of King Athelstan. Shortly afterwards, the Cooke Manuscript traces masonry to Jabal son of Lamech (Genesis 4: 20-22), and tells how this knowledge came to Euclid, from him to the Children of Israel (while they were in Egypt), and so on through an elaborate path to Athelstan. This myth formed the basis for subsequent manuscript constitutions, all tracing masonry back to biblical times, and fixing its institutional establishment in England during the reign of Athelstan (927-939)."

Origin of the term "Freemason"
"The earliest official English documents to refer to masons are written in Latin or Norman French. Thus we have "sculptores lapidum liberorum" (London 1212), "magister lathomus liberarum petrarum" (Oxford 1391), and "mestre mason de franche peer" (Statute of Labourers 1351). These all signify a worker in freestone, a grainless sandstone or limestone suitable for ornamental masonry. In the 17th century building accounts of Wadham College the terms freemason and freestone mason are used interchangeably. Freemason also contrasts with "Rough Mason" or "Layer", as a more skilled worker who worked or laid dressed stone."

I am sure that I speak for the entire scientific community in welcoming you back to the quest for knowledge. However, I regret to inform you that your claim for "Scientist's Compensation" has been denied due to the lack of video evidence of the damage to your digits during your experiment.

So, are you saying there is an "fishy" aspect to the pallet formations? This may be related to Dave's "ley line" theory. He indicated that some fish migrated following "ley lines." However, no watercourses appear in the photos provided by sparc.

Regarding the Spartans, are you suggesting there is a Peloponnesian connection to the pallets? I think you may be on to something. Note the eerie similarity between the scientific name for the study of fish, "ichthyology," and the Greek word for fish, "ichthys."

I searched for "women of the knights templar." The results were not inspiring. Total dead end.
