Seven

The new version of seven (social) sins is certainly groundbreaking - like Philo Vance (in The Benson Murder Case), I am so impressed that I lose my nerve. The door of the Castle suddenly opens, out come an official, from whom we receive a message of the Lord.

For those not familiar with Kafka, the Lord of the Castle is Count Westwest - the German of decaying matter. Has the Lord died ? Who is sending out the message ?

Maybe it comes from Kagemusha (影武者) of Akira Kurosawa (黒澤明).

I hope it doesn't matter. As K says (in The Trial), "Die Lüge ist für die Weltordnung." (The lie is made for world order.)

But, I have a feeling that Vatican is not in Italy any more - it has moved to Pluto.
