A beautiful signet ring by jeweler June Cream, resident of New Mexico, up for sale: The Death Darting Eye of the Cockatrice. This ring was hand carved in sterling silver and set with a border of black spinel. Wear this cockatrice as a reminder that even our most evil enemies can be defeated. Yes they can: bring me along with you and after I've glared at them long enough, your only trouble will be deciding what to do with them. Lawn ornament? Flag pole? Doorstop? Novelty gym equipment? The possibilities are endless.


Still hearing a lot about Roblox: Grow a Garden, and the cockatrice available there. They are still valued, trading at about 5 million sheckles. They're ranked at about 7/10 on the desirability scale. Not too shabby!


I think I've mentioned J. Robbins before, since he came out with an album titled Basilisk. Those in Massachusetts had a chance to see him on Sept. 18 at Wood's Hole.

A model named Rocco Basilico models "smart glasses"--coincidence? For those not in the know, Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment deathtrap about AI. Included for the basilisk mention as well as the cool image included with the article (probably created with AI).
