What is Kung?

"Kung" is a chanted "poem" Fishman wrote. It is probably named for the !Kung San, a Kalahari hunter-gatherer tribe, although kung is also the "void" in the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tsu. The Tao is a chineese philosophy written 600 years before Christ.

Reciting it may (according to explanations on 12-21-92, 3-25-93, and 6-26-94) be the way to get to Gamehendge.

Thanks also to Nancy Williams (7/18/00) and Phillip Zerbo.
