The Golden Assk?!

Note the following in regards to a notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

Tomás Parra (1937 – 5 August 2026) Mexican sculptor

His first name meaning “twin” in origin is the first twin heads upp, and his surname is an addition to the recent “Twin Letters in Name” pattern cluster and the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster … and so making “para” (see in-depth etymology below), as in “safety/prevent” (ie: parachute, that translates literally into “prevent fall”)

On reading his wiki page, one place name stood out, Valparaíso, Chile, due to it having “para” within, and given the recent “Place/Land Theme” pattern cluster, this is another indication that we’re on the “wright” track.  The name Valparaiso is a combination of old Spanish words valle (valley) and paraíso (paradise), so “Paradise Valley”.  Note the etymology of paradise is “in front/around build (wall)” 

Note this excerpt from the Valparaiso wiki page: 

Valparaíso remained a small village, with only a few houses and a church. On some occasions she was attacked by English pirates and privateers, such as Francis Drake with his ship Golden Hind in 1578 and later his cousin Richard Hawkins… 

Even though the names factor in, notably that “Drake” (male duck) and “Hawk” (in “Hawkins”) are additions to the “Bird Theme” pattern cluster, butt what really caught my “ii”, was the name of the ship, Golden Hind, given the recent “Ass Theme” pattern cluster (as in “ass end”/“hind end”). Note the following: 

Golden Hind was a galleon captained by Francis Drake in his circumnavigation of the world between 1577 and 1580. She was originally known as Pelican, but Drake renamed her mid-voyage in 1578, in honour of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose crest was a golden hind (a female red deer).

Hind end of a replica of the “Golden Hind” 

As you can see, the “Pelican” (the galleon’s original name) is another addition to the “Bird Theme” pattern cluster,

 It then occurred to me to google “golden ass”, and this was brought upp: 

The Golden Ass is the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive in its entirety

Note this excerpt from the novel’s wiki page:

While trying to perform a spell to transform into a bird, he is accidentally transformed into an ass.

As you can see, we have another addition to the “Bird Theme” pattern cluster.   Yet another twin heads upp!!  Even the place where the novel is said to be produced, Monte Cassino, jives … given that it’s an addition to the “Ass in Name” pattern cluster… and so also the “Ass Theme” pattern cluster. 

Since we’re on the topic of “birds”, I should also point out that South America has interesting “land” features, that reveal inner twin world influence, that I have written about in earlier posts, note for instance the following images from my September 24, 2021 post, The Duck in the America’s: 

They didn’t actually place the America’s in the shape of a duck, what they did was noted that it looked like a duck and then worked to accentuate it by strategically influencing the boundaries of countries ie— Paraguay becomes one eye and Uruguay becomes the other; Argentina is the upper bill of the duck and Chile is the lower bill; Mexico forms the upper chest and neck along with the Panama of Isthmus and islands like Cuba, Bahamas…;US forms the lower chest with Alaska making the feet; Greenland is the tail; Canada makes up the ducks stomach, leg, back and the little feather protruding on the ducks back is Nova Scotia … where I live (you ever hear of the children’s song “Six Little Ducks”… and in particular the verse “But the one little duck with a feather on his back, he led the others with a quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack! quack, quack, quack!

 So the place, Valparaiso Chile, lies on the “chin” of the duck.  AND, speaking of “chin”, note the following notable person also recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

Mohamed Eusoff Chin (5 May 1936 – 7 August 2026)Malaysian chief justice 

His date of birth stands out given the 5/5 … and since the number 5 shares the same key as the %percent sign, … this is meaningful in more ways than one,… that I’ll begin with the following from my September 13, 2020 post, 9/22 (Part 8, %): 

The quote was by a woman, Sarah Ban Breathnach, so that peaked my curiosity enough to google her: 

Born: May 5, 1947 (age 73 years), Westbury, New York, United States

Hmmm, her birthday is 5/5 (twin number sequences are a particular inner twin signature, not to mention that my name is May. As well the number 5 is meaningful in a cryptic way— the number 5 shares the same key on my keyboard as the % percentage symbol... which I said before looks like the simple line drawing of eyes and nose

Although I accentuated the eyes and nose in the  % sign to show what I see from an artist/cryptic perspective, and even though I added other features — eyebrows and mouth, note that I did not add a “chin”.  According to AI: The chin symbolizes resolve, strength of character, and emotional grounding,… so no chin means the opposite, … so, not good…, we need to ask for chin!!  

Note the cryptic His name is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so generating a cryptic phrase “ham/pig off of chin”… as in "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin", a famous line from The Three Little Pigs, note the Dialogue/Lyrics, …  and then the “why”: 

• Wolf: "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"
• Pig: "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!"
• Wolf: "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!"


…Old Animal Tales: Folklore experts note that older versions of similar animal stories used goats, which have beards where chin hair makes more sense. When the characters changed to pigs in The Three Little Pigs, the catchy, rhythmic line stayed the same.

As for the notable persons mentioned during this investigation: 

• Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 28 January 1596)
• Richard Hawkins  (c. 1562 – 17 April 1622)
• Sir Christopher Hatton (12 December 1540 – 20 November 1591)

List of translators of the “Golden Ass” novel: 

• Thomas Taylor  (15 May 1758 – 1 November 1835) 
• Robert Graves  (24 July 1895 – 7 December 1985)
• Jack Lindsay (20 October 1900 – 8 March 1990)
• Edward John Kenney  (29 February 1924 – 23 December 2019)

Of the above dates, one hits the mark— Hawkins day of death, April 17th, also being my son-in-laws birthday.  As well, Graves birthday is an addition to the “Off by One” pattern cluster… as in one off from July 23rd, the day my mom passed away; and Hatton’s birthday, December 12th, together with the birthdays of my two sisters, generates a “December 12, 14, __, 18/ Even Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  And there is one more, “May 5, __, 15/Increments of 5 Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  

As a final, my previous post also includes a bird… a rare post in that there’s no text, just the title “Nova Scotia Taking Flight: 

Everything ties in nicely,… except for one final thing:

Percent sign with chin, and not just any chin, butt a “ass chin”— slang for cleft chin!!  Nonetheless, it’s a strong chin…showing resolve, strength of character and emotional grounding.  I added a little change— eyes peering down (within), and eyebrows that speak in cryptic fashion, with one inquisitive… saying “WHAT the heck?!”… and the other saying “WOW eh, … hello!!
