Code Man

Code Man who lives in a world of hazards is compelled to seek for security. He has sought to attain it in two ways. One of them 'began with an attempt to propitiate the powers which environ him & determine his destiny. It expressed itself in supplication, sacrifice, ceremonial rite & magical cult. In time these crude methods were largely displaced. The sacrifice of a contrite heart was esteemed more pleasing than that of bulls & oxen; the inner attitude of reverence & devotion more desirable than external ceremonies. If Code Man could not conquer destiny he could willingly ally himself with it, putting his will, even in sore affliction, on the side of the powers which dispense fortune, he could escape defeat & might triumph in the midst of destruction. The other course is to invent arts & by their means turn the powers of nature to account; Code Man constructs a fortress out of the very conditions & forces which threaten him. He builds shelters, makes flame his friend instead of his enemy, & grows into the complicated arts of associated living. This is the method of changing the world through action, as the other is the method of changing himself in emotion & idea. It is a commentary on the slight control Code Man has obtained over himself by means of control over nature.

The powers that be wavered between thinking arts to be the gift of the gods & to be an invasion of their prerogatives. Both versions testify to the sense of something extraordinary in the arts, something either super-human or unnatural. The souls who have predicted that by means of the arts, Code Man might establish a kingdom of order,
justice & beauty through mastery of nature's energies & laws have been few & little heeded.

Get the Code Man mug.

Code rainbow

An airliner terminology, particularly used by mobbed or disrespected check-in agents, by some retarded passengers.

When the situation escalates to this point, the agent has no other choice but to redirect the passengers luggage to Easter island or some remote airport with two flights a month.

This has been used in several European airports after repeated assault and aggressive behavior towards professional airline staff.

In some extreme situations we also developed code RAMBO. Please check and like
