omega - last letter of Greek alphabet
midig - Somali word for "right"/"right hand"
edode - lentinula edodes are better known as shiitake mushrooms
gidim - ancient Sumerian ghosts
agemo - a chameleon deity in the Yoruba religion (Southwestern Nigeria/Southern Benin) who carries messages between gods

Bottom two thirds of poster is a green geometric design against a black background. Just above the geometric design is a yellow symbol made up of the omega sign with a dagger through the top of the arch with a drop of blood or water just beneath. The upper third of the poster is made of the following: (1) a five by five grid with five words going both up and down: omega, midig, edode, gidim, agemo; (2) in the middle is the zodiac sign for Aquarius; (3) on the right hand side is a halftone image of a goat head. All three images are purple against a yellow and green marbled background.

a pattern! a symbol! my zodiac sign! a magic square! a goat! it can mean only one thing: the stock prices in bottled carbonated demigod blister fluid (with lemon) are plummeting.
