duke of edinburgh = god?

[Yer_Maw]

High in a mist-shrouded mountain village, an ancient tribe patiently awaits the return of its divine leader. He is no mere mortal like themselves, dressed as they are in and straw sheaths to protect their modesty — rather, they believe he is the human face of an ancestral spirit who left their island many moons ago to look for a bride.

Their legend tells how this spiritual ancestor ended up in England — and eventually married a queen. Which explains why the Duke of Edinburgh, who is well aware of his role as a god in the eyes of the Yaohnanen tribe, has established a curious relationship with these people, who dwell in a simple village in the centre of the Vanuatu island of Tanna in the South Pacific.

Such is the revered status the Duke holds among the 400 tribespeople that, as their chickens scratch the dirt, they speak of him with the kind of devotion Catholics reserve for the Virgin Mary.

‘We are waiting for him to return to us,’ says white-haired Jack Naiva, the aged tribal chief, who thinks the Prince’s 85th birthday, a week today, would be the perfect opportunity.

He is clearly some sort of god, just for asking a Scottish driving instructor whilst on some walkabout

Howd'you keep the natives sober long enough to teach em to drive?

(no I know he's a misanthropic racist cunt ball of impotent rage, but that is WELL funny)

i dunno about this whole god hingmy, but Prince Philip [or someone the spit of him, so close that he would have to have a twin brother - he does not, end of that] sold me some supposed 'crack' at T in The Park 1995, during a particularly heavy Dodgy gig.

Shed 7 were on next and I needed some chemical intoxication to get ready for their hard rockin' tuneage. I dont know what he sold me but I only awoke from the brain coma-death recently - to the news that Babylon Zoo's Jass-Man is . . . . me !!!!

Thanx times a million Prince Phillip YOU CUNT!

The cargo cult thing is interesting, how it develops etc

On a visit to Exeter Cathedral, he asked a blind woman with a guide dog, "Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"

I've come to the conclusion that he's having a laugh - which if you think about it puts him decades ahead of Gervais.
