The classics are rubbish... Fair enough then, guilty feelings of missing out completely dispelled by ignorance. I feel better.
I finshed reading Jude the Obscure last year. It took me ages but was worth it. Also, after it came up in a pub quiz last week I started reading Pepys' Diary at the weekend as ignorance of its historical significance has always caused me some shame. I'm only about thirty pages in but I'm really enjoying it.
Oh, and according to my mates at the pub I should be ashamed that I've never read The Godfather but then, I didn't even finish the film.
I agree. I hate seeing ads everywhere I look and applaud anyone's attempt; lame, patronising, ineffectual and pointless to many that it may well be to reclaim just a little of my visual landscape from advertisers. I don't care how much they paid for that ad. Screw them.
LOL @ Ola Amigo (can we still use LOL? I can't keep up.)
Seriously though William, that's anomaly hunting, not real evidence of anything. Sufficiently complex events will always anomalys which you can point to and claim as evidence for whichever crackpot theory you happen to choose to believe.
As far as conspiracy theories go, I don't think I could put it any more succinctly than this:
Gotta love the denizens' of the internets affection for accuracy these days!
I had a nested bird roast at a function once (goose, duck, chicken, partridge I think). Served with a plum gravy. It was possibly one of the most awesome meals I've ever had.
I seem to remember that, in order to not get blown up themselves the putative fisherman in the story decide to shoot the dog. They miss and the dog is scared into hiding under the truck.
34,000 people in the area, no video and only one (extremely crappy) photo that I could find. In the article it says that a local couple chased the lights and took more photos. Anyone know where to find these?
They can't be lying about it can they? What could possibly be their motiviation? Except the fact that the article makes it sound like the guy that says he actually saw these lights is standing for election and is now personally responsible for bringing a bucketload of excited, gullible tourists into the town. The website's fairly slick as well and they seem to have plenty of ways of taking your money from a distance too.
I feel sorry for the local high school science club, one of whom said "It makes us look like a bunch of retarded hicks."
Surely, if Acupuncture was real it would be a physical impossibility to place 2008 needles in your own head without hitting so many energy pathways (or whatever) that spontaneous combustion would certainly ensue.

Nice post Miss C.
He actually sounds *proud* of this behaiour, like it's a competition. Spying on people just so he can humiliate them in public. Yuck.
Gypsy = Not a religion.
Buddhism = Tenuously described as a religion.
NYC:
Just for reference, over 90% of members of the National Academy of scientists descrbe themselves as Atheist or otherwise non-religious.

One of the funnier urban legends IMO.

Well put.
