For whatever it’s worth (wroth?) even Harvard didn’t dream this one up. A crazy group decided to see if they could hitch off the Harvard name, and even Harvard’s president told them to take a hike.

There have been black masses in constant ‘use’ since the pilgrims landed. Hollywood was infamous for it back in the early days among the ‘elite’. Plenty of info about it and documented. Plenty of rumor too.
This is just the first time someone took it out of the back rooms/mansions and put it in peoples faces as something real.
