Uh, no. But if that's what's being done because it's supposedly authentically "Vedic" and a sign of Tony's kingship, you wouldn't expect it to be a big secret either, would you? > But I have heard it from elsewhere via a friend in > Germany.

I suspect we could all make up stories that "seem reasonable" in that regard. Did you know that King Tony's finger- and toenail clippings are distributed among the Vlodrop staff for veneration? > We know that the elite of the TMO live in a protected > world, have a strong sense of entitlement and they > like to do things that emphasize their superiority > and make sure the lower ranks know their place, e.g. > Harris Kaplan's garden ornaments or the televised > "family chats".

As long as it's unconfirmed gossip, I don't think we should be referring to it as if it were established fact, that's all. I mean, we're not happy when the TMO proclaims something to be scientific when it isn't, right?
