    Should I Get A Subscription? (United States)

    I used to order mine through my local comics shop in Kentucky but when it went to $10US a month I just couldn't afford it so I got a subscription. I don't know about anyone else but I only ended getting about half the issues I should have in the year I subscribed so since it's cost...

    Wired For Weird (Strange Websites)

    Searching for a website - Help appreciated! Does anyone know of a website that lists all mythological artifacts with a short description? I.E. The Spear of Destiny, Pandora's Box, The Golden Fleece, Excalibur etc. It's pretty easy to find them piecemeal if you search by catagory (i.e...

    Making Traffic Lights Turn Green

    But…why would a bike bother? I don't think I've ever come upon a bike I couldn't see around naturally. It's not like they're as big as a car or anything.

    Earth 2? Earth-Like Planet: Here? Out There? In Fiction?

    See this phrase bothers me a little. If science tells us anything, it's that they are usually wrong. As new discovieries are made, older theories are either completely thrown out or at the very least refined. I think that should read "Scientist are proving every day that anything isn’t...

    Was Bush wired during the last debate?

    Ok, folks. I think you're missing something here. HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! I think he could afford a hidden wire setup. Cops do it all the time. Sheesh. :roll:

    Deep Fried Mars bars were never a myth

    Well in America, the home of the deep fried EVERYTHING, things like that are pretty common. Mostly around here we get deep fried twinkies and oreos. They are dipped in funnel cake batter and fried for about a minute then sprinkled with powdered suger. And lemme tell you , df twinkies are...

    The Bush doomsday plan to take power

    Ok, so how is "an unelected dictatorship" any better than this new law? I'm not really seeing the big bad here.

    Hitler and the Eltanin Antenna

    You know that's true. A friend of mine and I were discussing slavery a couple of weeks ago. And sure slavery is wrong and immoral now. But I doubt morals entered into the process much when slavery was in it's heyday. A mans father dies and inherits the plantation. He now owns slaves. Just...

    The Golem Of Prague

    This is a review for a movie I saw a long time ago about the subject. It was cheesy but interesting none the less. :spinning

    Giant Crabs

    I still have nightmares about crabs. As a child I went camping with family friends and we slept in tents on the beach. When I woke in the morning the outside of my tent was covered with crabs. :shudder: I didnt need to see those pictures. :glum:

    Digital Doomsday: Risks Of Reliance On Digital Data

    Could happen As the saying goes "a technologically advanced society is the easiest to destroy. If there was a great war or global catastrophie then a dark age is almost garenteed. I mean I know how a car works. Internal combustion engine and all but I cant build one from scratch. Of course...

    Giant Catfish

    Catfish Well, After living on a catfish farm most of my life I can tell you that: 1)Catfish eat where ever they can get it. We feed them with floating food and its quite a sight to see 3000 fish splashing and eating 2 feet from you. 2)Catfish bites hurt! As stated they dont have teeth per...

    What Common, Everyday Occurrence Do You Find Strange?

    But that doesn't prove that our blues are the same. Everyone "knows" the sky is blue(i know its not really just water reflected stay with me)but that doesnt mean I'm not seeing it as green. *shrug* Theres no way to prove or disprove it either way, darnit. :)

    What Common, Everyday Occurrence Do You Find Strange?

    Back to the subject at hand..... There are a few everyday things I find wierd: 1) As was mentioned earlier in this thread, how do we know if we are seeing the same colors as everybody else? As far as I know color is about the only truely anecdotal thing we learn in life(that I can think of...

    Antarctica Without The Ice?

    Crustal Shift Theory Theres an interesting theory that at one time Antartica was on the equator(roughly) and somewhere else, presumably whats on the equator now, was the north pole. How the theory goes is as ice builds up on the poles they get heavier and heavier and along comes a planetary...

    Mirror matter.

    Y'know when I was a lad I would have nightmares that there was a mirror universe and the people in the mirror were just "acting" like us, biding thier time, waiting for us to become lax so they could STRIKE!!!! . . . . . . . . . This has nothing to do with this thread so carry on, BUT...

    Sleep Deprivation

    I saw a news report some time ago that stated people who work nights or long shifts (midnight to noon in my case :mad: ) age three times faster than normal. Kind of scary.

    The Thing from Over the Hill (Scary Stories / Books From Childhood)

    I remember being scared of "The Monkeys Paw" when I was a kid. I remember for weeks after I would think about what I would wish for if given the chance then try to word the wish so nothing bad would happen. Like wishing for money and having a rich relative die and leave you an inheritance...

    Favourite Book

    For a great Fortean read I nominate "Forbidden Archaeology" by Micheal Cremo and some other guy. Bit like a text book but still fascinating. The best book ever written though would have to be "Wizard and Glass" by Stephen King. Unfortunatly its book 4 in the Dark Tower series and to get to it...
