Redefining "Too much time on their hands"
This "mystery" is weird and intriguing, in a Magus meets Foucault's Pendulum kind of way. Scanning through some of the mysterious ads this group has run in the University of Arizona newspaper over the last 20 years, it's clear that they have an eclectic knowledge of the classics, math, science, and religion, and way, way too much time on their hands. They may also be barking mad, but who knows? If there's one thing I got out of reading the Magus and Foucault's Pendulum, it's that you probably wouldn't want to get involved in the fantasy lives of intellectuals who've decided the world is too boring, and should be "remade".
