Pynchon synchronicity learned today

[Perry Noid]

That seals the deal for me, Akhenaten = Obama. Ishmael Reed talks about
Akhenaten in Mumbo Jumbo. I read that after finishing Gravitys Rainbow due
to a line Pynchon put in there about Reed knowing all about the freemason
conspiracy mumbo jumbo. Hm...Freeman, freemason, Mason and Dixon, Dixon
Hill, Jean Luc Picard, card stock, wall street, seedy streets, CD Roms,
Romberg...Thanks for that link to the freeman site, it's good clean fun.
