horus

man. the book i'm reading now is possibly the greatest fictional book of irony i have ever read. and its more of the painful irony. especially since i know the outcome and all the "fluff" behind the whole trilogy of books. "horus rising" is just the first. it just goes to show how big an impact warhammer 40k has had on my life. a pretty big impact i'd say. so much so i'm feeling sad as i read the book.

How could something so pure become so tainted and corrupted beyond all recognition? lust for power? revolution? but all it took was one single decision by horus which led to the bloodiest galactic civil war that threatened to bring about the extinction of humanity. it spoke of the primarchs or demi-gods in thier own right. pure, righteous and ever loyal to humanity. the mightiest and most favoured of them all was horus. after reading the book, i hated horus even more for forsaking humanity. but then again. its still just sci-fi. nothing real. besides, it probably sounds very strange to those who dont know warhammer 40k. ohwell. haha.

hmm. couldnt find a bigger pic. but still. awesome book.

and i wonder what orbifold means.
ahh. wikipedia is always ready to help.
In topology and group theory, an orbifold (for "orbit-manifold") is a generalization of a manifold. It is a topological space (called an underlying space) with an orbifold structure. The underlying space locally looks like a quotient space of a Euclidean space under the action of a finite group of isometries.
now what the hell is that supposed to mean?
