Subject: DG: The Meaning of Karotechia?

     Hey all,
     
     
      While waiting for Glancey to 'fess up, I'll take a stab at etymology 
     of Karotechia.
      First, we're all chasing our tails (most of us metaphorically, a 
     chosen few of us literally) with breaking the word into Karo - techia. 
     Well of course it doesn't make any sense. But, split it into Karote - 
     chia and we're on to something.
     
      Karote - obviously a Teutonized spelling of karate, which is term 
     derived from the combination of two words; kara, or empty, and te for 
     hand.
     
      chia - a fast-growing moss that simulates hair
     
     
      From this I conclude that the Karotechia is descended from the Cult 
     of the Empty Hand With Hair Growing From It, an onanistic Tantric 
     conspiracy that was a contemporary of the Golden Dawn. Not much is 
     known about them as they were secretive and tended to keep to 
     themselves, though legend has it that they all inevitably went blind.
     
      Tracing the ancestry of the Karotechia to the COTOHWHGFI is a bit of 
     a coup, as most assumed that (due to their practices) the COTOHWHGFI 
     had no descendants.
