    2006s Most Fortean Fish

    How many issues do you read a year?

    I've actually read more than 13 because every now and then I dig out some mags from the 90s - there's always a selection of articles which either didn't interest me at the time or which I only skimmed because I was tired etc etc. All good stuff. :D

    What You Like Best About The Magazine?

    The diversity; but most of all the commitment & dedication of both readers and contributors. Superb!

    Is FT's cover too glossy?

    I treasure my FTs so much I stand them up in a glass-fronted bookcase in datal order - and the wipe-clean cover comes in handy after a week's battering. :D TIP: For those without bookcases, empty cereal packets make great "Blue Peter stylee" containers! :wink:

    @lantis TV: US Secret Dig In Antarctica -- Spoof Alert!

    Thanks for the intelligent response PhiloT. All I am saying is that if you had both entrepreneurial skills and a fortean thesis, but limited cash to support your research, you might want to test public reaction before soliciting organisations for financial back-up. After all, no-one likes...

    This is a very nice game This game is my first work. You're the first player. I hope you would enjoy it. I certainly would, but will there eventually be multi-player options instead of scrolling through the shades?

    I love it but I'm an absolute beginner - Magic(k) Primers A

    The most pure magic comes from the soul. Any primers and reading material on the subject are the attempts of feeble minds to lead you in the right direction to find the source. "Know thyself" and "Heal Thyself" are most probably the best ever axioms on the subject. The Great Secret is...

    @lantis TV: US Secret Dig In Antarctica -- Spoof Alert!

    Maybe some of you should be a little less paranoid. Sometimes, just sometimes, the marketing opportunities are covert inasmuch as they are scried sponsorship offers for research, thereby validating the public approval of the project concerned. Or maybe I know you all too well.

    Egad! Weasel Swarm!

    Maybe some of you should try reading Geoffrey Household books. The meercat which is a mustelid not unlike the weasel common to the UK habitat is a perfect example of the protectiveness that is offered by the mustelid family in general and world-wide. Ferrets are another example. Voracious...

    Are UFOs & Ufology In Decline? If So—Why?

    I personally firmly believe the decline in the interest of UFO-related phenomena to be a deep-seated fear among genuine investigators that the "Icke syndrome" complex will be visited upon their subsequent careers and livelihoods, and hence their sense of familial togetherness. A successful...

    Chupacabras

    Chupacabras are the mammalian equivalent to fleas or scabies. They live on the beliefs of lesser intelliigences and refine themselves accordingly. Therefore a creature which appears to be the result of a chapacubra is in fact the shadow of a creature looking for its true identity.

    But did Charles Fort mention the arc, or just the circle?:confused:

    Fort's 'Measurement Of A Circle'

    When the measurement of a circle can begin anywhere, does that include the centre, and does it depend on how many dimensions it has? Please discuss. Curious forever. Hope not.:confused:

    Dream teachers?

    blackglass Please be patient with us and continue to post on the MB. Some of us have said that we have had similar dreams tho not with the same frequency or intensity as your dream experiences. It must be very frustrating for you to have such vivid dreams and not know what to do about them...

    Dream teachers?

    I'm wary of mentioning Richard Dawkins on yet another thread, but it occurs to me that if memes do exist, then some people may be more receptive to picking them up, than others. I have occasionally had dreams where I've been shown detailed notes of something, but the images have faded with...

    What you need to do Rose, is look out for Faggus and his Dad, and try to get the two parents talking. Then maybe they'll both agree to meeting the rest of the bunch afterwards. ;) :D Hope it works. If it doesn't you can always use the excuse that some of the MB members are Mums as well. :eek...

    Persinger & Blackmore That last link wasn't really relevant to the God spot, I know, but it had some relevance to Eburacum45's post. I suspect, Andro, that all your speculations are spot on. ie - direction-finding, telepathy, et alia. I don't think that Persinger's work proves...

    The outer door slammed firmly shut, and a deathly hush descended on the tiny red-lit, sound-proofed room in which I half lay, half sat, in a kind of dentist’s reclining chair. Half an hour alone in here might have seemed a pleasantly restful prospect - except for the converted motorcycle helmet...

    Jack The Ripper (Compendium Thread)

    Emperor Zombie I agree with LD that your topic deserves a thread of its own. Conspiracy theories regarding the Papacy are rife. Can I just ask a question? You mentioned earlier that the three ruffians (Jubelo, Jubela, Jubelum) weren't part of British masonic lore at the time of the Ripper...

    God On The Brain

    What I found interesting about the more detailed link was that it gave the information that the non-religious participants in the experiment were aroused by sexual imagery, as opposed to religious ones. I'm wondering if this area of the brain has something to do with physical...
