Yes, Marcos is gay. Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Marcos.

Serendipity
Today, I discovered that the cyclical nature and closed structure of Benzene rings was discovered by a German scientist, Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz, while he was having a reverie about Ouroborus, an ancient symbol of a snake swallowing its own tail (the symbol itself has several representations, one of them being cyclical rebirth like a Phoenix).
Other examples of discovery by serendipity:

The universe's ways are comforting.
There was a book that had three initials that I really wanted to read, so I was trying to search it up on Wikipedia. I thought it might be "EGD," but uh... apparently not. I got this.

An image of a post envelope with address written in krakozyabry (кракозя́бры) AKA Mojibake. The envelope contained a Harry Potter book. This letter was sent to a Russian student by her French friend, who manually wrote the address that he received by e-mail. His e-mail client, unfortunately, was not set up correctly to display Cyrillic characters, so they were substituted with diacritic symbols from the Western charset (ISO-8859-1) The original message was in KOI8-R.
The address was deciphered by the postal employees and delivered successfully. Some of the correct characters (red) were written above the wrong ones (black).

Spontaneous Literature
- Grab the book closest to you. Go to page 64. Find the 7th sentence and type it. A student reads a test question that asks for a distance, gives a time interval of 3.2 s and a constant acceleration of magnitude 5.4 m/s2.
- Go your iTunes or WMP or whatever music player you use. Set it to random/shuffle. Press next track 5 times. Then find the lyrics to that song. Find the 5th line of that song’s lyrics and type it. Signs of a savoir
- Grab a newspaper or a magazine. Go to page 4. Find the 4th sentence and type it. I say good for the private security forces. - Time Magazine
- Go to Wikipedia. Go to Random Article. Find the 6th line and type it. A smaller car, the 9 hp of 1913 with a 1357 cc side valve four cylinder, was the first to sell in significant numbers and was re-introduced after World War 1 as the 11 hp having grown to 1600 cc. (Copied and pasted, actually. I got a multitude of stubs.)
- Go to Livejournal. Go to Random Journal. Find their 2nd newest journal and type the 1st line. (If this person’s journal is private, empty or in a different language try another Random Journal) Right before Christmas we got a boat load of snow and were stuck at home for a couple weeks.
