    Felt Someone Get In To Bed With Me - But Noboy Was There...

    Nah, if scargy was being condescending, you'd feel it from across the room. ;) I agree; the short paras are easier to read.

    The Enfield Poltergeist

    Maybe there'd be repercussions if their deceit was proven? I have no idea. (Not saying they made it up or not; I have no idea there either) How does one get council housing anyway?

    Miracle Fruit - Makes Sour Taste Sweet

    Why should the sugar companies get together and suppress it? They could just add it to their lineup, like the oil companies branching out into biodiesel etc.

    Has anyone faked a haunting?

    Well, let's be honest OTR, there's a lot of bullsh1t chatting, spontaneous outbursts of inexplicability, etc. (you know who you are), usually by people who show no actual interest in Fortean topics themselves, which doesn't really merit being saved. Some threads of enduring interest do get...

    Lip Balm Addiction: The Secret Shame

    Actually exfoliation is the best thing for dry skin; it helps the healthy soft skin underneath come through.

    Astroslut love-triangle airport RUMBLE!

    Just to be clear, it's Bill Oefelein who's the astroslut here, not Nowak, yes? He's the one who was allegedly juggling two women; Nowak might be a nut but she seems like a monogamous one. ;)

    More info on the American Mange/hairless dog/hyena

    People can be surprisingly stupid. On my horse blog I posted a story about an alleged moose/horse hybrid in Quebec (it's impossible folks, but anyways) and illustrated it with a pic of a moose calf taken from the original news article. People were writing comments on the post indicating that...

    Reversing PIN Numbers

    Do people really stand that close to others when waiting for a bank machine? Here the unspoken rule is at least 5-6 feet.

    Reversing PIN Numbers

    A lot of people use their pets' or childrens' names as computer passwords. Basketball was invented by a Canadian.

    Dying for a Wii

    Wouldn't the contestants have had to sign some sort of waiver beforehand? Or would that be tantamount to acknowledging that there are inherent risks to the activity? Now that I think about it, you're screwed legally with or without it.

    They're purged after 30 days if there's no activity. If there's a thread you're particularly fond of, keep bumping it up to the top.

    Cruelty To Animals

    I had a look at that site and noticed they had a page on rodeo. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but are they trying to say that pole bending and barrel racing are cruel, along with the other rodeo events?

    Lip Balm Addiction: The Secret Shame

    I'd be careful with those sprays; why do you need them all the time? Do you have undiagnosed allergies? You might want to try the toothpastes made by Tom's of Maine; they should be in the health food/weave your own yogurt section of the store. Not sure if they have fluouride though.

    C*nt originally a term of endearment?

    Re: Wiki article--the Talk page is rather interesting. Amazing how many people wrote in to complain "Take this filth off the page" and even one tw*t ;) who said the pics were illegal. (Um, NO)

    Useful Applications

    Which Mac browser sucks the least? Safari is way too slow and caches everything; Camino was working well for awhile but I think it has memory leaks (I get the beach ball more often than I'd like). EDITED to add: I'm running OS 10.3.9.

    Death (Deliberate Execution) By Stoning

    It's more of a line in the sand than anything else (being a semi-civilized place, albeit still not a real country, we made those things illegal anyway). I wonder if this is just a ploy to keep their little burg pur laine. :roll:

    The Beast Of Gévaudan

    *sudden thought* Surely cows might have been a bit smaller in those days? I know horses were. What I mean is, perhaps instead of picturing an animal the size of a VW Jetta, we're looking at an Austin Mini instead.

    Weird Sex (Practices, Preferences & Accoutrements!)

    It's always amazed me that the 70s are considered to be some Golden Age (though perhaps Brass would be more fitting) of porn, when you see how damn skeevy everyone looked back then. (I was a child in the 70s; that was my excuse)

    Robert William Pickton - Canada's biggest serial killer

    Lepine was a mass murderer or spree killer, not a serial killer; he shot those young women in a single spree before turning his gun on himself. I haven't really been following the Pickton case too closely, but some of the details are quite horrific: split heads found in the the freezer...

    Mother gets grandchild from dead son

    Organs for transplant are in short supply and can save lives. As I said before, sperm from the living is hardly scarce and I can't think of any real justification for this genetic rape of the dead.

    Mother gets grandchild from dead son

    What if the mother marries or remarries and has children with her new partner? How's he going to feel about the dead man's family being involved in their lives? How would the kids feel? It'd be one thing if the soldier had left a girlfiend behind, i.e. someone he loved but with no real legal...

    Antarctica = Atlantis?

    Goodness, what a waste of crockery. Was the china covered up with soil, or just dumped and left out in the open? If the latter, then it's open to weather, animals, and marauding younger brothers (other people's if not yours ;) ).

    Harry Potter Vs. The Religious Right

    It's always struck me how these sorts of people don't distinguish between "can encourage" and "does encourage". It's like doing away with coins because some kids swallow them and choke. Perhaps a few kids do dabble in the 'occult' from reading HP. Some kids will do stupid things; some Darwin...

    Mel's Hole

    One doesn't generally think of Nevada as a big state for sheep, but anything's possible; if you were a Basque shepherd, you'd go where the ovines were, I suppose. There are quite a lot of Basques in the state and the former governor of NV, Paul Laxalt, was the son of a Basque shepherd. edited...
