While attending an event hosted by Schmilsson Nilsson at the Bradesco sim in Second Life where breaking news (he will blog about it!) was announced by HiPiHi just now, I received two simultaneous instant messages, one from Hamlet Au:
heya, I'm interviewing someone who's helping kids with cancer by selling hair with cthulhu god of the underworld
and one from one of our collaborators on the development of the DIP sim in SL, Michelene, who said:
I found something neat for your graveyard
Eureka Dejavu: ooooh what?
the answer: the grave of cthulhu!
I have never in my life heard of Chthulhu, and now twice at the exact same moment! Hamlet suggested that I speak with Rikka Koi, who designed hair for the Hair Fair with a fetal Chthulhu inside (pictured on me above). Rikka Koi explained:
Hp Lovecraft wrote these incredibly bizarre, dramatic stories about a great dark being who travelled the cosmos and kind of landed on Earth, who currently sleeps in the depths of the sea, waiting for the end of the world.
Sun Sharple of HiPiHi (he doesn't speak English and we don't speak Chinese and the Babbler wasn't cooperating) teleported over to see the grave with us after the event. I can't imagine what he must have thought, standing on the tentacles of a Cthulhu in the afterlife while I stood there with a fetal jar in my hair. He called us friends.

HP Lovecraft created some of the scariest monsters ever. In one, explorers are warily tracking something unimaginably weird and frightening deep into an ice cave in Anarctica, when the thing suddenly comes rushing out at them, and then goes right past them, running away in terror from something even worse! HP Lovecraft dreamed up monsters that even scare monsters.
