From Facebook: "Curios and Conundrums: From Death and Dark Oblivion is shipping shortly! This quarter's theme is HUBRIS, and includes the largest gold giveaway in our company's history!"
What do we think a theme about "hubris" means? And have they given away gold before? If not, then it would be pretty easy to be their biggest...

Hubris (noun) - Excessive pride or self-confidence. As-in, "someone was a little too cocky and got themselves poisoned."
From the Greek goddess Hybris. The goddess of insolence, violence, and outrageous behavior.
Interesting quote regarding hubris..."Naive men think that by ill-treating others, they make their own superiority the greater."

Tracking numbers have been issued, which simply means they've generated a label.
They're still taking orders today. I'm thinking we won't see it in mailboxes until the middle to end of next week.

thanks Todd! I am in Canada so I don't get a tracking number, which leaves me a little blind to what happening..

Then you must be pleased to know the Canadian postal strike has been averted with a two year agreement!
No big deal for the US subscribers, since they're mailed in the States. I was watching the situation with trepidation for my Canadian friends.

I'm pretty sure they say What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes. a quote attributed to Harry Houdini which makes sense, given the chains, I guess.
