There are hoodies that zip all the way up to the top of the hood. A lot of the time they have designs like a skull across that section, or a superhero mask. Maybe he/she was wearing one of those.

A blog I read linked me to this pdf document today: http://irdial.hyperreal.org/www/conet_p ... ooklet.pdf It's basically 'Number Stations 101' for those interested. There's also been some CDs created that are recordings of some number stations (I don't know which ones since it's not...

Hmmm. Yeah there's definitely something fishy about this story. Oh shut up! As if the joke wasn't begging to be made :lol:

In my expert opinion *cough cough* I reckon American badger. There's just something about the shape of the head and the body, plus those long claws that makes me think of a mustelid or something like it. I don't know about albinism and whether a badger can be partly albino (since it does have...

I am related to Winston Churchill. Check. Mate. :lol:

If the story about his daughter is true then frankly I think he was quite restrained in his response :evil:

That sheep/puppy is unbelievably adorable :blissed:

Yeah I generally have my phone on silent at night. Leftover from the days of heading out into town late on most night and if I'd chosen not to do so I'd get a phonecall at 3am from drunken friends insisting I join them. Now it's because my Dad has no concept of appropriate times for...

Ooh cool :) I hardly ever read the actual FT articles online. I always forget they're there. Thanks CultJunky :)

The other night I was sitting in the lounge room doing some studying and the TV turned itself on. Thought it was weird, checked to see if I was leaning on the remote. I wasn't. I turned the tv off and kept studying and a few minutes later it did it again. Then yeterday I was driving to a...

And yet more Enid Blyton synchronicity for me. This week is weird.

According to this it was in the 'Sunny Stories for Little Folks' Magazine (Poor Old Scarecrow! issue) and in the book 'Six o'Clock Tales'. That site, and http://www.enidblyton.net/ are a real treasure trove. After I posted before I went on another little hunt and managed to find that book...

That reminds me of a clue in an Enid Blyton book when I was little. The trees pointed the way to an old gazebo with a secret passage that had treasure hidden in it. Maybe Ms Blyton had never seen a tree before? Incidentally I've been looking for that book for years now. I can't remember...

How big was the chip? Maybe it was between your toes for most of the day until you noticed it? I've had that happen before with small gumnuts and the like.

:shock: Y'know I really wouldn't call that minor strangeness.

Or to focus something spiritually. Or to create a defined sense of space for whatever reason... In any case, 'henge' has, like most archaeological terms, a fairly open meaning. It creates an obvious image, of course, but it doesn't matter if the ditch is inside the bank, or opposite, or even...

I'm going to be singing Mack the Knife all day now :P

Hey I didn't say it was COMMON, just not strange :D Profit-driven cruelty. Now, barrels of goat semen and a Maserati found in a forest - that's frigging strange :shock:

I haven't found a single news story for the past 3 pages to be strange. I don't know if that reflects on me, the thread, or the state of the world :?

My initial response was So? I look a lot like Randoplh Churchill (unfortunately), and I cock my eyebrow in the same way. Doesn't mean anything. and then realised the sheer stupidity of that point. Christ, maybe I should get some sleep. :roll:

Reminds me of a sea-monk

A bunch of friends and I went to see it a few weeks back. I haven't seen the original Tron and still haven't, and so had no real idea of what the story was. I knew that a computer world had been created and that Bridges' character had gotten stuck in it - that was all I knew, I found it hard...

But wouldn't balls have left deeper trackways because the weight isn't distributed as widely as on a set of logs?

And she sounds like such a catch, too. :roll:

You bastard. I'm going to be singing that ALL NIGHT :splat:

Yeah the ones on NeverWinter Nights aren't packing much of a punch. Maybe ghouls are like rabbits and you have to press on either side a bit before you see anything pop up. Come to think of it, my ex was a bit like that too.

Aww and I was so excited to see the old captain from the Ghost and Mrs Muir. :D Could it have been that the wind whipped up a bit of a frosty flurry? It doesn't snow here so I'm stabbing in the dark. With an icicle. Or maybe it's the Scarg effect. You did say you were having beans on...

Dick van Dyke surfs? That is so cool! :shock:

That sounds fantastic! I hope he manages to make his vision come to life one day. I'd definitely pay to see that. :)

I know I'm going to get shouted down about this, but I love the pants off Alien 3. The first movie is great, the second bored me to death and had me almost begging for Hicks to die, preferably in a very painful and violent manner. The third movie had me giggling the whole way through, and for...

Yeah it's pretty disturbing. What bothered me a lot also was that he had been reported before by patients, but no one believed them, and he himself had gone to the medical board and said that he didn't believe that he was fit to practice, and they declared him fine.

Did you not hear about that guy, Zilch? He was all over the local papers about a year or two back. They were calling him The Butcher of Bega, though he was working at Pambula hospital too (which is a bit scary since I was in that hospital a few weeks before the news broke). He was doing things...

Sticky tape here. Don't know why though, I've never called it Scotch tape :?

Dammit now I have that song stuck in my head :roll: My best friend was brought up evangelical pentecost. Her family went to church every week and every one of them was "overcome by the holy spirit", fell to the floor, convulsed, spoke in tongues, etc. She never felt that way though. When...

There's a novel like that - American Gods by Neil Gaimon. Surprisingly good, even with the ubiquitous random sex scenes (which are, I'll admit, at important feature of many deities worship)

:wink: I've never been a bride before. Or even a bridesmaid. Been to a few weddings though. I swear to goddess at the last one someone's hubby was wearing a muumuu. Those things really show off the decolletage don't they? Don't do much to hide the chubb either :shock:

Yeah I remember that. That was during his Tour of Australia and I'm pretty sure he was in either Adelaide or Melbourne. Harry's doesn't do pie floaters, like you said Anome (I looked, by god did I look) but they do a mean Beef Pie with Mashed Potato, Mushy Peas and Gravy Poured Over It *nom...

Yep. I reckon I might go down to the shops and get some for lunch now we're talking about it. I've infrequently heard "lush" for attractive since I was little, and I use "mind" a lot, though slightly differently to how that article suggests. I say it as an alternative to "although"...

That reminds me of a Lovecraft story... :shock:

I have the same inappropriate thoughts a lot of the time and like Mavidelf and Oldrover suggested, I think it was my way or torturing myself with my thoughts. I have pretty hefty anxiety issues. Anyway a little while back I brought it up with my partner and best friend, terrified that once I...

Actually, much as I despise Crowley I would assuredly pay to watch that. Especially with Mark Strong as him. I hadn't heard of him until SH and now that I have I think he's great.

And now I feel like cucumber sandwiches. Off to the shops for me then ;)

Australian Magpies have a certain area that they consider their own when nesting and if you go anywhere near it (and I mean within 30 metres) they will swoop the shite out of you. Standard practise where I live is to send kids to school in Spring with ice cream cartons on their heads to make...

There are so many I wish I could have seen, but the one I regret missing most is the Dodo. Birds remind me of cuddly toys when I was little. I want to hug them and take them to bed with me. In a totally innocent way, of course :shock: I agree that the Thylacine is still out there, but even...

I may just be hard-up for funnies lately, but I just laughed so hard at that I nearly cried :D

Right. I'm sold. As soon as I get paid next week I'm buying it. Herding cattle? Lauren says YES.

It's only just been released out here. Been wanting to check it out though. Is there a storyline to it? All I know is that it's got cowboys :lol:

Definitely a mustelid. I'd go with either an otter or a starved wolverine. The feet just don't look otter-y enough to me, so I'd go with the latter, but I've never seen either in real life so I'm likely quite wrong. :)
