I find it incredible that so called intelligent people waste their time on such sh*t.

There is no way of knowing the answer. A properly intelligent person would realise that.

They must be stupid and blinded by their academic qualifications.

Blinded by the need to publish shit to secure funding and justify their department's continued existence.

As I posted a couple of years back on the Forgotten History thread, the otherwise faithful replica of the Bayeux tapestry in the Reading museum has at least one fewer todgers on display, as the Victorian seamstress gave one particularly shameless guy a pair of underpants:

‘My wife always looking unkempt, doesn’t clean house,’ divorce-seeking man tells court

Mr Omotayo, who resides within the court’s jurisdiction, filed for divorce, saying he could no longer tolerate his wife’s poor hygiene practices.

“The main problem that I have been having with my wife after marriage is that she doesn’t know how to tidy up the house.

“Whenever I come back from work to have my rest, I can’t because the whole house will be filthy and smelling.

“I tried coping with that, but now I can’t continue because she has refused to take care of herself, too; she is always looking unkempt,” he said.

Wisconsin woman missing for 62 years found alive​


https://www.fox9.com/news/wisconsin-oman-missing-62-years-found-alive.amp

----------------------------------------------------------------
Audrey Backeberg was last seen in Indianapolis, Indiana in July 1962.

Backeberg, then 20, had hitchhiked with the family babysitter from her home in Reedsburg, Wisconsin to Madison, then took a bus to Indiana. Reedsburg is just southwest of Wisconsin Dells.

The babysitter said she had last seen Blackeberg when she walked around the corner from the bus station. According to a listing by the Charley Project, Backeberg was in a troubled marriage and had filed a criminal complaint just days before her disappearance.

In an update this week, authorities said Backeberg had been found alive and well at the age of 82.

A statement from the Sauk County, Wis. Sheriff's Office says: "Earlier this year, the case was assigned to a Sheriff’s Office Detective for a comprehensive review as part of an ongoing examination of cold case files. Through diligent investigative work, which included a thorough re-evaluation of all case files and evidence, combined with re-interviewing witnesses and uncovering new insights. The Sheriff’s Office is now able to report that Audrey Backeberg is alive and well and currently resides out of State. Further investigation has revealed that Ms. Backeberg’s disappearance was by her own choice and not the result of any criminal activity or foul play."

"The Sheriff’s Office would like to acknowledge the work of Investigators, both past and present. Despite the significant challenges that many cold cases present, this resolution underscores both the importance of continued work and the dedication of the Sheriff’s Office to providing answers to families and the community."
 
Article in Daily Mail online about a Japanese pilot's 1986 UFO sighting over Alaska:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/science...-encounter-alien-mothership-ufo-sighting.html

Looking at the drawing of the size of the large ship in comparison to the plane and reading the way the story is described led me to think:

Did he actually "see" the ship in the air or did he just "read" the size and shape of it from his instruments on the plane?

I would suspect it was impossible for someone on a small plane to see the entirety of the shape of that thing unless it was a great distance away.

If you look at the drawing where the plane and the UFO are together (presumably for an description of size comparison/scale) there is no way a plane observer could know the shape of the huge craft if they were close. And unless they or the UFO circled, or the UFO was rotating, how would they know what the rear view of the craft was like?

Florida city finally figures out why it smells so bad

https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida/2025/05/10/florida-landfill-mount-dora-bad-smell/
---------------------------------------------------
The source of a mystery stench that has plagued Mount Dora residents and visitors for years may finally have been identified by consultants for the city and Lake County.

Now the question is what to do about it.

According to the consultants’ 83-page report, funded by a combined $270,000 from the two local governments, the Mid Florida Materials Mount Dora landfill on State Road 46 is likely generating the hydrogen sulfide gas that gives off the pungent odor.

The study exonerates the city’s sewage treatment plant, while also noting weather patterns in the area worsen the problem.

“The Mid Florida Mount Dora landfill has the most significant impact on odor conditions in the study area,” the report concluded. “It is further observed that calm wind conditions prevent dispersion, allowing foul odors to accumulate in the area, resulting in more severe odor conditions.”

And it took $270 000 to find that out?
