Not the one you think. I'm talking about the PLUMB BOB.

The Plumb Bob symbolises CORRECTION in Freemasonry. Morality within the framework of masonry(or whatever true religion Masonry hints at).

It is used by THE SIMS.

>>The PlumbBob (also known as the Plumb-Bob or Plumbob due to a frequent misspelling) usually appears over the head of the currently selected sim. The closer to a vivid green the PlumbBob appears, the happier that sim is, while the closer to a dark red it appears, the unhappier they are. The PlumbBob has become an iconic staple of The Sims franchise, now appearing as the dot of the "I" in The Sims logo and appearing over the heads of characters in advertisements for the games as well.

I would LOVE to post the images but doesn't seem to be working.(for some reason the automatic tool for putting up images is putting out the code in lower case rather than higher!?)

They use it in the film THE BIRDS too. That's why the birds go ape. Because they represent the plumb bob. Dangling in their plumb bob cages they hear the lawyer Rod Taylor morally whacking Tippi Hedron, who is not good enough for him, the film seems to be saying. Hence they stand in judgement and attack her and others around her. Always around her. Each bird attack is made near her.

Hitchcock gives a clue here. Two identical dogs like the two identical birds Tippi buys. On a leash. How do keep a bird on a leash? cages. Hence that gave me the clue. I wonder if he always serves this function in his films.

King Calypso FTW!

Here is the plumb bob from Pompeii. Symbolising death. The plumb bob is dangling from the masonic A towards the skull.

The two dogs. Scottish [Rite?] Terriers. I wonder if their names were Jachin & Boaz??


Welcome to the forum, Fudge!!!

***EDIT***

Those dogs might not be Scotties. Possibly some kind of Airdale/Schnauzer breed or something.

About one of the pillars representing King David. In that photo they're at Davidson's Pet Shop. Nice little coincidence there.


***DISCLAIMER***

I have NO idea how accurate or factual ANY of the info on above linked website is, just a quick find on Google.

Was Hitchcock trying to tell us that freemasonry is for the birds??


Ok, ok.... I R sirius postr now.


Ya see what I did there?

Hello fudge

Hi Guys. Nice to see some serious people reading this stuff.
Who remembers this scene from the film?



This is a perfect example of the plumb bob. Tippi is SWERVING her car on a bendy road and the birds stay upright. PLUMB. It happens several times, to show it is significant. She is unworthy.

What does it all mean? I think this is a masonic film that they watch to marvel at how the natural world attacks us sinners. At a guess.
Birds use a kind of plumb bob built in, which they use for navigation.

The Plumb Bob also turns up in David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE.(get back to you on that)

That's the kind of hawklike investigative powers that I'm looking for in folk Dunno about David. Don't know how far this plumb bob goes in meaning. Davidson would make a great euphemism for a jewish man or a mason.

This guy has got there before me.

Hitchock's FRENZY. A film I'm very interested in. Where does Hitchcock appear in that?

This should help.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hitchcock_cameo_appearances

As will this be?(his appearances seem unworthy of note so far ...but then to get from two dogs to freemasonry?)

"Rod is the center of gravity for the entire film. His performance strikes just the right balance of strength and inner conflict. Too much of one or the other and the whole picture falls apart. His reactions to the birds are what make the terror real and allow us to share it."

Centre of gravity IS the plum bob. Pulled by gravity to the centre of the earth. His name ROD describes the taut string of the plumb line.
Coincidental? Who can tell anymore?

Rods are a freemasonic staple...

www.masonicworld.com/education/articles/..._rods_and_staffs.htm

"In Britain the Grand High Steward presided over the King's household and carried a white Rod. This may have been the start of the Masonic Rod but it probably came from Ushers in the House of Parliament. One usher carried a black rod and the other a white rod. People would be seated by calling a "black rod" or "white rod" depending on where they wished to be seated.

The first mention of Masonic Rods was in a procession of Grand Lodge in 1724 in which the Grand Stewards carried white rods symbolizing purity and innocence."

So the rod is another plumb bob/line to the masons. Apt then to have ROD Taylor in the role.

The name Tippi describes the failure of balance of the bob. Tipping over. She is the cause of all the horror.

www.about-freemasonry.co.uk/plumb-bob.php

"While this is not an official Masonic Web site we have decided to adopt the plum bob as our corporate logo as in Masonic terms this represents justness and uprightness of life and actions.
We feel, and intend, this site to be just that in addressing the concerns and explaining Freemasonry."

Something more to chew on (better not, bobs are lead, usually)

We don't hear about the plumb bob much. Does that mean it is not important? OR MORE IMPORTANT than the usual sumbols the masons are glad to regale their lives with?

Uprightness? does that fit with the illuminati?

Also, the two people standing at the window of the pet shop look like two pillars. One taller than the other, just like the Twin Towers. Further represented by the twin doggies. Not to mention Hitchcock wearing black & white, representing the masonic checkerboard. I would've pointed this out yesterday but felt that it went a little too far into woo-woo territory....

All's fair in war & symbolism!!

Re-posted for images but you've already done it.

What mod do I have to pay/perform sexual favours for to get this deleted?

If it's psketti + sexual favours then just leave it where it is.

Huge fan of Hitchcock so that should be interesting too.

Nice thread.
