That's from the second-to-the-last reply from Monk.
Tom wrote to me at some point via email that the question comes from the Goldberg Mania Test (http://psychcentral.com/maniaquiz.htm). This test is used to determine whether an individual is bipolar or not.

Welcome all newcomers, btw. It seems like it's been years since I've been gone.

Re: I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD
Oh, my... looks like I may have a moderate/severe mania (39 points)!

P.S. Hello to you, Jon. Great to have you back!

Re: I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD
26 points as well... I might find suspicious people who would have only 0-9 points. Isn't this test made just to get more people consulting shrinks? ("Oh my God! I have a moderate mania, something MUST be wrong with me! Where is the phone book? I must consult, NOW!...")

Re: I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD
eldritchoo,
Thanks, I think I did read it on the Current 93 site.
I can't access The Art of Grimscribe either. I hope Eddie is doing ok.

Thank you for the game, Dr. L.

I have scored anywhere from 22 to 40. I have taken it so many times that my head is spinning. And I will keep taking it until I am sane. I will tell them anything they want to hear until I am free of this madhouse.

I think the word 'sane' is synonymous with 'well-adjusted' or 'functioning according to expectations.' Whose expectations, that is another question. If you are sane in a demented slaughterhouse, what does that make you? Not that I am implying that the world is a fundamentally deranged abattoir. Nothing could be further from the truth. I see it more as a cornucopia of sunshine and rainbows. Follow your dreams to rainbow's end and collect your pot of gold fillings.

Re: I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD
One time through the Test. The mind police's radar clocked me at a brisk 51! :idea: : Maybe I do have a Special Plan...for the doctor who devised this, er, tool.

Nope, I'm not going to give my test result several months after a lot of you have already done so! :wink:

I do have a question: does the text spoken aloud in the CD differ in any way from the one in the accompanying text? Do any of you have that edition with the Greek translation?
