Committee For Surreal Investigation Of Claims Of The Normal
Published by Rick on Saturday, January 31, 2009.
According to Robert Anton Wilson, the Committee For Surreal Investigation Of Claims Of The Normal (CSICON) claims that there is no such thing as normal, and there are no existing normal people (i.e. people existing in the average). For example, no one has 2.3 children.
Wilson offered $700,000 to anyone who could produce a normal sunset, an average Beethoven sonata, an ordinary Playmate of the Month, or any thing or event in space-time that qualifies as normal, average or ordinary.
The CSICON began with an overheard conversation in a pub regarding the strange weather. Another listener interjected, “Ah, Jaysus. I've never seen a boogerin’ normal day. And I never met a fookin’ average man neither.”
The founding charter states, “The average Canadian has one testicle, just like Adolf Hitler — or, more precisely, the average Canadian has 0.96 testicles, an even sadder plight than Hitler’s, if the average anything actually existed.”
