Is this the episode? I remember the story of these two airmen, now. Apparently the code points to an area of the coast of the UK, somewhere. What that means is a mystery. Is it where the craft was stationed while monitoring the air force base? There seems to be a theory on the internet that...

No, I didn't see that program. I don't have cable television, so I'll have to see if I can get it on youtube, maybe. Was it a binary code found on a wall, or something like that?

the ghost hunters really screwed up with Graham's whole 'jacket pulling incident'. They've lost much of their credibility with me. we like ghost adventures-- partly how they present their evidence, but also they seem to be just a group of good friends doing something they enjoy. ----------...

very fascinating stuff. The complexity of our human history is really striking, as the article points out-- the 12 or so hominid species that existed in different times and areas of the planet in an evolutionary process. Neanderthals are still my favorite. They were in many ways superior to us...

I think sometimes humanity can't stop itself from believing what could just have been fictions. We have to somehow fit in funny looking pictures as some greater cosmic truth. Maybe one of these cave dwellers were simply bored and drew imaginative characters.

ha ha, maybe ;) Where has Pat Robertson been lately? :)

wow, I'm sorry you had to experience this. Not a positive experience. The only 'ghostly' one our family had was after my grampa died. His home was bought by a single woman who was awakened in the middle of the night by the song "Irish Eyes are Smiling" (he was a full blooded Irishman). She...

yeah, I agree with you about how differently appearing people may most likely be explained by medical conditions. I work in the medical field. I've met patients who've had their digestive system hanging in a large pouch of skin off their bodies, patients who have had odd physiology or anatomy...

The ancients had some vague understanding of homeostasis, but it was focused on 'the humors' and other ideas, e.g. 'not enough bile', etc.

They could certainly save their money and find plenty of monsters in their own political hierarchy, lol

I don't believe it. It's quite slick. It's odd that the camera doesn't hesitate than more than several seconds on the 'creature'. At first glance, it appears to simply be a man. If you spend anytime out in the woods, identifying a 'demon' is going to take more than a second of recognition as...

Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad

Oh, Ok. I missed that.

from Cnn.com Cancer is widespread today, but it doesn't appear to have been in the ancient world. Why not? Researchers are learning more about the history of cancer and how civilizations have treated it. A study in the journal Nature Reviews Cancer suggests that cancer has become a more common...

The pronouncements of corporal punishment, and law defining caste structure proves yet again that human nature is one of the few constants in history.
