Happy Halloween! A spooky connection I’ve found for you. As far as I’ve found, this connection has prior documentation only in a 2013 blog comment, but it’s really something and merits its own note1. At time of publication, my website makes a feeble attempt to not be slurped up for a large language model, which makes it unsearchable by major engines. So the observation, documented here, will not contribute to the commonly searched knowledge commons. Does this make it literally occult? ↩
