Yes, this is the Temple of Eris, the infrequently-updated, perpetually Amusing shrine to Herself. If you've been here before, not much has changed lately, but that Easter Egg you didn't find is still there. Ha! Recent additions include a Parable by St. Marc and a new footnote to the "Gods and Goddesses" essay.
I can hear you now (and you were wondering why that light bulb never seems to screw in all the way, heh heh.) "Eris? Who's Eris? And why is this man so silly?"
Eris, also known as Discordia, is The Goddess of Confusion, Our Lady of Chaos, She What Done It All. She rules the Universe with a fairly distractable hand and between carving identical snowflakes reveals Herself to Her Children - namely, us - in myriad interesting and occasionally dangerous ways. If you don't believe that the Universe was created and is ruled by a Goddess of Confusion, I urge you to tell the nice man to open the box so you can see the world. It won't take but a minute for you to realize just how right I am. And, having realized that, it rather puts my silliness in context, doesn't it?
If you're wondering how I have the authority to open a Temple of Eris, that's an easy one. I'm a Pope of the Erisian Church, with all the rights, irresponsibilities, and privileges appurtaining thereto. If you don't believe me, click here. I'm also an ordained minister of the Discordian Sect of the Universal Life Church, which means I can marry people, make a pest of myself in health-care facilities, and forgive sins. If you want me to do any of these things, send me an email and tell me why it would be funny.
If you met St. Marc at XD4, please be advised that he hasn't got around to posting his pictures yet and probably won't until after next X-Day, when they will be updated telepathically on the way to Planet X. You can get a copy of the CD by emailing him here. You can also read his XD4 Report and rants here:

The place is coming along nicely, but it's got a ways to go yet. Help yourself to a Golden Delicous Apple from the bowl by the door (make sure you take one that hasn't any writing on it - it could be a Trojan.) After you've looked around, visit these other sites:
