    The Enigma (born Paul Lawrence) is an American sideshow performer, actor, and musician who has undergone extensive body modification, including horn implants, ear reshaping, multiple body piercings, and a full-body jigsaw-puzzle tattoo. His tattooing process began on December 20, 1992, under the needle of "Katzen the Tiger Lady," heavily tattooed herself, whom he later married, and has since divorced. To date, the Enigma has had more than two hundred tattoo artists work on him, with as many as twenty-three tattoos underway at one time.

    Biography

    The Enigma was raised in Seattle and began studying music when he was six years old. In 1991, he was a founding member of the Jim Rose Circus, with which he toured until 1998. The Enigma then toured with Katzen, playing music and doing sideshow performances under the moniker "Human Marvels". He performed at Universal Studios Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights event in fall 2007 with Serana Rose, performing various tricks with fire, electricity, power tools, and blades. He has also performed at Detroit's Theatre Bizarre.

    National Puzzlers' League

    The National Puzzlers' League (NPL) is a nonprofit organization focused on puzzling, primarily in the realm of word play and word games. Founded in 1883, it is the oldest puzzlers' organization in the world. It originally hosted semiannual conventions in February and September of each year, but conventions are now held annually, in July.

    History

    On July 4, 1883, twenty-eight word puzzlers, mostly young men, met at Pythagoras Hall in New York City and founded the Eastern Puzzlers' League; they then celebrated the event by paying a penny each to walk across the newly dedicated Brooklyn Bridge. Renamed the National Puzzlers' League in 1920, the organization has been in continuous existence ever since that first meeting and is the oldest puzzlers' organization in the world.

    The league's official publication began as The Eastern Enigma. It originally contained few, if any, puzzles, and instead reported on business transacted at puzzlers' conventions, presented verses and skits composed by members, and relayed debates on the controversial puzzling topics of the day, such as obsolete words, esoteric references, and new types of puzzles.

    The New Game

    by: Amanda Palmer

    Now we're going to play a game
    that's lots of lots of fun
    i learned it from my auntie
    who learned it from my uncle
    my uncle has a secret job
    in washington dc
    something fancy
    with the government
    i hear he knows the president
    first you line up in a row
    and count "eeny miney moe"
    there are guards
    and there are prisoners
    and this is how it goes
    (key change!)
    1,2,3
    you are free
    and the rest must come with me
    who are you
    are you a witch
    no you are a terrorist
    if you think that you aren't
    you can tell us who you are
    but if you are not on the list
    then you are a terrorist
    and the terrorists get totured
    even if no proff exists
    because we can't take any risks
    and the terrorists get ordered
    to get back in line
    so we can play the game a second time
    if you're just a pacifist of some kind of activist
    then you are a terrorist
    why it says so on the list
    if you're a writer or artist
    or a lover facticist
    then you are a terrorist
    'cause it says so on the list
    and the terrorists get tortured
    whether or not they want to play
    because they're guilty anyway
    and the terrorists get murdered
    unless the terrorists insists he is not a terrorist
    but we can't find you on the list
    are you a doctor or a priest
    i'm a right-wing journalist
    so you are a terrorist
    if you're a fat capitalist
    or a neo-nazi facist
    we can find you on the list
    and you're not a terrorists
    isn't this an easy game
    anyone can play it
    people of all ages
    genders, creeds,(?) and races
    play it with a couple or a giant group
    entire continents can play
    the rules don't change they stay the same
    but once the game is done
    and someone's won
    there is a variation that is almost just as fun
    1,2,3
    come with me
    and the terrorists are free
    if you lose and get left over
    then you are a sympathizer
    if you are a singer-songwriter
    or a union-organizer
    bet your bottom-dollar
    you will be a sympathizer
    and the sympathizers must be punished
    even worse than terrorists
    as an example for the kids
    sympathizers must be banished
    so to find out which is which we must refer back to the list
    if you're a church administrator or a corporate stockholder
    or a nuclear arms maker you are not a sympathizer
    if you're not a sympathizer
    be a terrorist, okay
    you have to be one or the other
