This is way off on a tangent, but apparently there is a musical genre called "Bigfoot Death Metal". That is, death metal songs about bigfoot: http://troglodyte.bandcamp.com/ Cryptozoology fans might get a kick out of the names of some of the songs. This seems like a very peculiar genre...

COMMENTARY: Health workers need optimal respiratory protection for Ebola link

Instinctive "dead reckoning", finely-tuned spatial skills.

"What most people don't understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That's why they're always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico. Another thing to consider is that all three of those destinations are good places to play golf. So there's possibly some connection between aliens...

In a similar vein, there's another DC hero-type show currently in development for TNT. Is anyone familiar with these characters? link :confused:

Hmm, I've been drinking pine tar extract (as cough medicine) and now I'm feeling a bit peculiar and smelling a bit like turpentine, so anyway I'm just going to maybe update this thread a bit until I'm not feeling so dizzy and weird and whatnot. So, Fortean anime, that is Fortean, hmm. The...

:( Ebola virus in United States: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati ... /16532837/ Health officials almost seem to be under-reacting, you would think they might be a bit more pro-active about this sort of thing.

These creatures sound exactly like the little monsters from Machen's stories! "The Shining Pyramid" in particular. Tiny, evil, nocturnal, subterranean -- it's eerily similar.

Maybe he could become a superhero. Fighting the kind of crimes that can only be fought with, well actually they're probably aren't any crimes that could be fought with with that kind of superpower. But his superhero name could be Orgasman, or possibly O-Boy.

Arthur Machen -- "Out of the Earth"

Raccoons are the scum of the Earth, they can wreck acres of corn or pumpkins in a night. They tear shingles off your roof, they carry diseases, they are vermin. Coyotes and black bears are also scum.

Last night I had a strange dream, about going to the post office, and in the mail there was this big cardboard box. So I took it home and opened it on the kitchen table, and there were all these weird plastic things. Ziploc bags of Barbie doll shoes, museum gift shop dinosaurs, plastic cake...

There is another alleged depiction of Kosminski's face on this video clip, at about the 5:37 time index. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7kOx-k16Kw What these pictures are based on, maybe descriptions or sketches or something? It's a similar sort of face, high forehead etc, but without...

Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were both considered "model prisoners". An impulsive killer isn't necessarily an impulsive fighter as well.

Possibly the guards gave him some impromptu fine-tuning? "Patient became violent, so we took turns kicking the crap out of him", not the sort of thing that would be written down.

Not a Ripperologist, but I came across something odd in the Wikipedia entry for Aaron Kosminski, two sentences which seem bizarrely contradictory. So, "harmless", except for a couple of minor bashy/stabby interludes.

A bear comes into town, shoot it. Simple as that.

:? So... No fascinating back-story, no grand conspiracy, no Satanists, no Freemasons, no Royals... Just some drab, no-account, worthless little schmuck with a butcher knife... Wouldn't make much of a movie...

"The dove is not a coward to fear the hawk; it is simply wise." John Wyndham, The Midwich Cuckoos

There were a lot of weird post-apocalyptic comic books in the 1970s. Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamandi This one was among the weirdest, sort of "Planet of the Apes" on steroids, and LSD.

So long ago, but I can remember thinking that the episode directed by Diane Keaton was hilarious.

The word "kinetite" comes from that book. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kinetite And today is "Star Wars Day", May The Fourth (be with you). 8)

And of course, there is a British team. Here is a brief clip, amazingly it manages to capture every facet of the rollicking, wild and frantic British lifestyle. (But be warned, it's pretty intense.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=regl4vTld5E :shock:

Erm... In the future, teams of high school girls from around the world will compete in various elaborate World War 2 battle scenarios, with appropriately restored tanks. Further attempts at explanation would probably be superfluous. link :eek!!!!:

When Randy Bachman ("The Guess Who", "BTO") was young, he wanted a Flying-V guitar, so he fashioned a copy of one out of his bedroom door.

There used to be cassettes you could buy in museum gift shops, like "Sounds of the Viking Age", or Roman or Medieval etc. The one I have has "1985 Archaeologia Musica" (and some other stuff) stamped on it.

Hodgson was a much, much better writer than HP Lovecraft, as was Arthur Machen.

Back in 2004, the word "dreeness" could be found in only one location online: William Hope Hodgson said: "The House Among the Laurels" -- 1910 Yes, the word "dreeness" was in danger of vanishing into the mists of time... Fortunately, an intrepid, brilliant, nice-smelling young...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration But it would have to be a very complicated arrangement, and probably not a very nice place to live anyway. Maybe there is a large asteroid between the sun and the planet, an asteroid shaped like a flat disc, and it slowly rotates like a spinning coin...

The Parents Television Council? I remember those dickheads.

Terribly sad to see Matt Smith go. (Even sadder to see Moffat stay.) :roll:

Maybe you are not dreaming the alien. Maybe the alien is dreaming you. :err:

It was probably Samuel Butler (in his book "Erewhon") who first speculated about machines or mechanical systems evolving into a state of self-awareness or intelligence or something like that:

:) Maybe they could bring in some actual superheroes to save the day. And then, they could keep bringing in various superheroes, on a regular basis.

And the quality of of the animation was amazing, you just don't see that kind of hand-drawn attention to detail in things anymore.

(This is not a thread about Lucy Worsley.) The other day, I was looking at pages of various 1960s pop-culture ephemera, and I came across a link to these... things. http://www.bigeyesart.com/ They were apparently intended as cute, harmless mass-produced decorations, but something...

:( No, it's still the same dull grey pain. The Doctor says: "Allons-y! Joss Whedon est un vrai beigne!"

:? Watching this is increasingly becoming a chore. Apparently the budget only allows for one facial expression per actor, the dialogue is like bad pulp, and the name-dropping of potentially interesting characters only makes it worse (Thor, Captain America... yeah that sounds like it might...
