Treated myself to a couple new pipes today~

Jack_Torrance

this is dry pipe probably has the nicest work in some ways of my collection. this piece was bought at the august 2004 Phish festival Coventry in coventry, vt. it was a crazy time, i walked like 5 miles and then got a ride to and from my car, got it towed, lost 2 kids in the shuffles, but all was well in the end this pipe has incredible sentimental value to me. it was made by a blower from Humboldt, Ca whose name i forget. i haggled it to $171 if i remember. standing up it is about 5-6 inches tall. i don't use it much because the bowl is really big for my tastes, and kind of awkward, but i love it still.

I went to the headshop yesterday with intentions of buying a pipe with a small bowl. When I got there, I saw this piece and couldn't resist, it just looked like too much fun.








This thing is HUGE, and the bowl can probably hold 4+ grams. Here is an action shot to give you a size reference:

Wow! That thing is huge! Very nice.

Ya very nice Ben! That thing is sweet!

How much did you pay for it?

I have decided to name my new mini spoon, Orpheus.

I think this name is appropriate, and I did a little research on the name as well. I think both describe my spoon. I like the Orpheus Theory too. I really like both. Here is what I found:

Orpheus in Mythology:

Orpheus was the son of Apollo and the Muse Calliope. He was presented by his father with a Lyre and taught to play upon it, which he did to such perfection that nothing could withstand the charm of his music. Not only his fellow-mortals but wild beasts were softened by his strains, and gathering round him laid by their fierceness, and stood entranced with his lay. Nay, the very trees and rocks were sensible to the charm. The former crowded round him and the latter relaxed somewhat of their hardness, softened by his notes.

Orpheus became famous because of his poems and his songs, excelling everyone in the beauty of his verse and music. He also reached a high degree of influence because he was believed to have discovered mysteries, purification from sins, cures of diseases, and means of averting divine wrath.


Orpheus Theory: (Planet Orpheus):

Approximately 4,500,000,000 BC: Earth One/Waterworld is completely destroyed by collision with another planet; Earth Two (tilted 70 degrees from vertical) and the Moon are formed
Only four percent of the Moon's mass is contained in the core (the Earth's core represents 30% of its mass).
It appears the collision failed to have much interaction with the Earth's core, instead mostly disrupting the deep mantle.

The alien body which struck the Earth appears to have been roughly Mars-sized.

-- Moon Probably Split From Earth In Collision - NASA, Reuters/http://dailynews.yahoo.com/, March 16 1998
The Moon will show signs in 1994 AD that it has not yet lost quite all its molten interior from younger days.

-- THE MOON: STILL PARTLY MOLTEN? From Science Frontiers Digest of Scientific Anomalies #96, NOV-DEC 1994 by William R. Corliss, citing Richard A. Kerr; "Clementine Mines Its First Nuggets on the Moon," Science, 264:1666, 1994

Earth One looks to have been the prototype for an eventual waterworld, offering immense oceans, with fiery volcanic peaks and related archipelagoes dotting the seas (if only it would exist long enough). Earth One was smaller than Earth Two-- maybe half its size. It spun very fast, making each day last only four hours. It also wobbled tremendously on its axis, similar to Mars, making the climate for any given region unpredictable from one year to the next (this condition would have kept any life present subdued to a very primitive state). Earth One's eventual global ocean would have helped moderate climate impact somewhat, but the frequent extremes of the early eons would still pose serious challenges to any life arising near or on the surface of the world.

-- Firebirth By Jeff Hecht, From New Scientist, 7 August 1999
Earth Two is a considerably dryer world, with some of its water having been blasted into space by the collision, and the rest forced to cover a much larger world in terms of real estate than it did before.
The collision may have consisted of two separate impacts taking place over a period of a couple days. The first blow may have been a glancing one, perhaps destroying only a third to a half of Earth One's surface, while shaking the remainder of the planet to its roots. But then the bouncing congealed mass of the striker and strikee failed to escape the gravity well and fell upon the wounded planet again, this time hitting half a world away from the first impact: this finished forever the fate of Earth One/Waterworld.

Some call the foreign body which transforms Earth One/Waterworld into Earth Two: Orpheus.

After the second, consummating impact, a smaller remnant of mass hurled from the colliding worlds finally manages to achieve an orbit about Earth Two, which will have it gradually spiralling away from Earth Two over billions of years. This new body will someday be called the Moon.

The Moon takes perhaps a couple centuries to fully form. But its immense, closely orbiting mass now and later exacts a toll on its host: rather than the increasing distance-over-time moderated tidal forces 20th century humanity will know, today every tidal cycle on Earth would create a tsunami-- or tidal wave.
Or, it would if there were any liquid water on the planet to heave about so. But it takes a while for the oceans to reform, and the giant tsunamis to begin their reign.

Earth Two continues to wobble wildly on its axis, but now the orbiting mass of the Moon is constantly tugging at that wobble, lessening it over time to something much more moderate and predictable in scope. Something that could produce a more reliable seasonal climate worldwide, that future, more complex biological forms might base their life cycles upon.

Over the next couple billion years the Moon may sometimes serve as a shield for Earth Two, protecting it from some of the comet and asteroid impacts it might otherwise suffer.


After I decided I liked the name, I thought some research would be appropriate to see if the name really fit the piece. I believe it does.

sweet pipe ben, i think i would be scared to rip it but that galaxy marb is sick (i like the mix of old and new techs) and the head sculpture is realy beautiful, itll be sad to see it covered with resin, gotta keep it clean. does smoke come out of the eyes too?
