Church of the SubGenius

n.

A mutant offshoot of Discordianism launched in 1981 as a spoof of fundamentalist Christianity by the ‘Reverend’ Ivan Stang, a brilliant satirist with a gift for promotion. Popular among hackers as a rich source of bizarre imagery and references such as Bob the divine drilling-equipment salesman, the Benevolent Space Xists, and the Stark Fist of Removal. Much SubGenius theory is concerned with the acquisition of the mystical substance or quality of slack. There is a home page at http://www.subgenius.com/.
