alt_billI've had something passed on from a source inside the offices of the Prophet. I mentioned the short article printed this morning. There's a phrase the guards used that the reporter overheard--not a direct interview question, in other words, but the guards privately talking amongst themselves. I get the impression that it was without knowing the reporter was there.
The Prophet staff didn't know what the phrase meant, and apparently the editor thought better of publishing it, and so he ordered the reference cut from the first draft of the story. Which maybe was a very good thing: apparently certain highly placed people were quite incensed that anything about the matter was printed in the paper at all. (Who they were the source either didn't know or refused to say.)
Anyway: the guards were overheard to call the thing an 'octoboros anchor.' The source was very definite about the words. Not 'ouroboros.' 'Octoboros.'
Mean anything to any of you?
