You figure it out.
People discussing something...

"Just so that all of you know this, as to give another level of meaning to this narrative, the word "Jejune" is Latin (jejunus) for empty of food, hungry, meager.

Also, mentioned on the EPWA's website, in the section devoted to Public Space Reclaimation, is the fact that

"in impractical terms public space reclaimation is:

Reversal of Bolgia Two plus Bolgia Ten
Posting a poem about the famous polish necromancer Pan Twardowski"




-B2 + B10 = ?

Bolgia, or "pockets" are sections of the eighth circle of hell "Malbodge". (Evil pockets)

Bolgia two is the second one of these pockets, discribed in the divine comedy as ditches of stone. In Bolgia 2 "Flatterers are steeped in human excrement. This is because their flatteries on earth were nothing but 'a load of excrement' " (Canto XVIII)

Bolgia Ten is the last one of these pockets, the closest to the next circle. In bolgia Ten: "Here various sorts of falsifiers (alchemists, counterfeiters, perjurers, and impersonators), who are a disease on society, are themselves afflicted with different types of diseases" (Cantos XXIX and XXX)

So, now, I ask all of our little team here, what is Bolgia Two Reversed? Does it mean that those who do not flatter are not steeped in excrement? Or does it mean that those who insult excrete? And when added to ten does this mean that flattering falsifiers get a bad case of dysentery?


A Poem about Pan Twardowski:

To be completed."
