By the way, I think the headline for the original story should be: Fossil Martian Pet Rock Discovered. That would be perfect.

Obviously, Mars is home to silicon-based lifeforms whose mortal remains look just like rocks...from which it follows that the more rocks you see on the Martian surface, the more the place is clearly teeming with life. Stands to reason, dunnit? Part of me (the part that enjoys Ed Wood movies)...

Dear God...that piece gives gibberish a bad name.

Hmmm...I knew we should've spent more time debugging the HAL 9000 series, looks like the whole batch are dodgy...

We'd need to know what identified what was seen as a "technological object", how many people saw it and what they saw.

You wouldn't want people thinking it was just an ordinary Japanese UFO.

It was much healthier when Christians were disliked by the Romans because they refused to join the army. That was consistent. This lot are insane. And dumb, dumb, dumb. Don't they realise how much worse they make the problem they are supposed to be there to solve? Also: Given that a person...

The trouble with all attempts to project forward is that there is any number of possible outcomes. Evolution doesn't select in favour of the best result, it selects in favour of those random mutations which actually occur whose bearers happen to survive and reproduce. There's also the additional...

Have you considered the possibility that he did make a bomb threat from his home? Doesn't it strike any of you that having American flags all over his room is just a teensy bit too keen? Does he love his country so much he wants to have its baby or something? Patriotism is not a virtue in...

Toss out -isms. Most economies are and historically have been mixed: this is a pragmatic acknowledgment of the fact that people need incentives (and the exchange of wealth of whatever kind for goods and services is as old as our species), but also of the fact that the community stands together...

The first one looks a bit like Alien Nation With Apartheid. Interesting.

I loved the Daily Show's coverage of the media hype the other night. I've also noticed that outside Mexico not only are people not dying, but for the most part they don't even seem to be getting very sick. I think this flu should serve as a warning of why stupid farming practices and poverty...

I think the reason MJ-12 found such fertile ground is that the field was primed by years of frustration: think of all the time and effort that had been put into the problem, and we still knew nothing of any substance whatsoever (just as we now...know nothing of any substance whatsoever). The...

An evil little voice inside me keeps wishing the title of this thread had a sub-heading: "- Or Was It Just To Pick Up Chicks?"

I got up this morning, checked the news...and the swine flu situation seems to be spiralling out of control. It's here even. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20090426/swine-flu-world/ It doesn't help that the symptoms don't seem remarkable at all...most people probably wouldn't even...

My first thought when I came across this was "obvious fake". But in all fairness that's just an impression and not backed up by any knowledge of what to look for, so it would be good to have an opinion from people who do know about these things.

I had my doubts at first, but then you completely lost me when I got to the bit where completely bogus interpretation were being given to Egyptian hieroglyphics in order to support the CD hypothesis. Hieroglyphics are not just picture-writing that anyone can interpret how they want: it is a...

Personally, I think the probing is just something they like to do.

If nobody's suggested this yet, might it be possible to have Twitter Ids (where they exist) added to people's profiles? Just a thought. By the way, I think Twitter would be an excellent way of spreading word of paranormal/UFO events as they happen, while they're still fresh.
