Yep, it works. I didn't even know that command existed. Good stuff.

If anyone wants to read the Principia Discordia (as opposed to The Illuminatus Trilogy) there are links to the various versions on the bottom of the WikiPedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Discordia

On my old version they've got a fake stamp on the back that reads: "Death To All Extremists!"

that always cracks me up :)

Sadly, even online now, it seems like that original purple cover edition isn't available. Like most of the books I enjoy, it's suffered horribly from my ham-fisted reading style ;)
