It’s funny how profound insights can be gained from seemingly flippant remarks.
Last week co-author Fatsally, commenting on the hysterical bigging up of every banal utterance of The Obamessiah , questioned Barry’s claim to divinity by pointing out that while he is President – elect he’s not The Stig is he?
The high priests of The Top Gear Church of the Petrolheads sect that worships The Stig, the Lords Clarkson, Hammond and May would surely agree and might point out that even Caligula had the decency to wait until after his coronation as Emperor of Rome and Pontifex Maxiumus (that’s Latin for Commander – in – Chief BTW) of the Sol Invicta cult. before declaring himself a God.
In the thread that followed our friends Ri Thompson pointed out that nobody knows what The Stig looks like as he never takes off his helmet.
A couple of days after Ros mentioned that I was looking through a folder of paintings and source material by our newest recruit Cleo Hart (arts, piste, celebrity correspondent who will be blogging from the Alps for us) and among the source material came across a Mesolithic cave painting showing humans apparently worshipping an alien as a god.
The humanoid alien stood in front of a large phallic object, clearly his spacecraft or UFO, wearing a white overall with a dome shaped helmet. a visor covers the facial features.
THE STIG…
When that cave painting was done, around 15,000 years ago, Stig was probably visiting earth to sow the seeds of civilisation.
Now he is back amongst us, but why?
To wrap up a failed experiment perhaps?
