The Temple of Dagon

Oh god no, I can see that going horribly awry. We'd attract Rowling's main fan base, 12 year old girls, and then the Cthulhu plushie market would go thaROOOO the roof. I hate those things so much.

And charge them lots and lots of money.

That's the idea.

Oh... I thought the main idea was to eat them.

That comes after Tom Cruise converts.

Okay. I want me some Cruise ribs!

your several months too late.
Church of Cthulhu

the coc's problem is that it doesn't have a slick-talking spin doctor to make all your ghoulish ideas seem justified and furthermore attractive to the masses. you need a philosophical structure than can withstand (or somehow dodge) the scrutiny of debunkers.. as it is now, you guys have a long way to go

You also need a less conspicuous name. I suggest "Cthulology".

no, because then were no bette rthan those damn dirty scientologists!

But we have a more plausible theory going.

I agree, this is interesting and deserves it. Does any test or source of this exist?

I don't know if anyone noticed but that photo of a skull with 'fangs' is merely a rear view of a skull (almost definately a cow based on several in my posession) The large hole in the centre is called the foramen magnum, or spinal canal opening, and the 'fangs' are thr processes where it interlocks with the spine. If you want to hoax someone, I suggest yuo find a more convincing specimen. Unusual skulls can be used to freak out people with little or no knowledge of anatomy

For instance:

hippo:


chihuaua:


Bulldog pup:

yeesh.. i hope they don't have a 'skull farm' where they just breed animals to be de-boned. that would be ghoulish
