"...preventing the uneducated, lazy and excessively pious from ruling."
Well they FAILED let me tell you that much!
*BoheMian twitches at any thoughts or memories of the left-behind nightmare that was Spain, in spite of the fact that she is now in San Francisco*

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
ILLUMINATI, n. Crazy diamonds.
Y'know, it might not be so bad being ruled by the "excessively pious" if they just spelled the word correctly, Soupy. "Pie us" ...
I would enlighten you about the Illuminati, but I'm sworn to secrecy.
I have a friend named Illuminada. Her nick-name is Lumy (as opposed to Nada). So that is the first thing I think of -- how to chum up to the heretics.
It also reminds me of a Harry Potter spell to summon light. "Lumos!" makes light come out of your wand. I wonder where light would come out of if you said, "Illuminati!"
Wow...it's so bright & shiny around here this week.
What's up with that?
in Hungary we say that a drunk person is in the state of illuminati.
illuminati those so dazzled by the belief in their own brilliance they believe they neither contain nor cast any shadows.
Illuminati: lights on nobody home.
The Rockefellers and Kennedys. That's what I think about when I hear Illuminati. A good book, too.
Illuminati: Mason jar filled with fireflies.
But soft, Minka! Who broke that window?
Neva, good defense.
Poobah,, the survivors of darkness.
Karma, not I said the blind man.
Breathe, Hermana. That's California air. I'm leaving the light on for ya.
Shine on, Amoeba.

Mutha, can others see this friend?
Jenna, I's just cheer you up, I think.
Ariel, who gets drunk in Hungary?
Not often seen around here, huh, Quilly?
G, so it's the opposite of curmudgeon?
Ah, Actonbell, would you believe three boy scouts and a brownie?
Thanks, Scarlet. Not the Stillers? Welcome.
Neva, that's where I look for wisdom.
Ah but doug, you do shine such a light on the land of blogs.
Right Cooper! This is where the Secret Society of Bloggers meets. You don't see their remarks 'cause they use invisible ink. Silly dawg.
Gee, Im stumpped. Is it Itallion for Flash Light?
Cooper, you mean the glare?
TLP, I wondered what happened to their remarks.
Candied candle, boy, close enough!
I kinda turned out the lights on them.
I guess you could say I'm the delighter.
No match for Mynheer Peeperkorn, as Thomas Mann and our delighter know.
