First off, my apologies if there's another thread on this episode - I couldn't find one. From my point of view that episode was a sad waste of time - we didn't even get any mildly entertaining credulous lunacy. Just dementia. I totally missed the part where he said anything more interesting...

We are not, and I stress not "in the 3rd dimension". We perceive three dimensions in terms of up-down, left-right, back and forward. A dimension is not a place, and you can't be in it. Or to put it another way, Phil prattles knowledgeably about subjects he doesn't understand (we all do that, but...

This is from the great '70s Irish band Horslips See him driving those golden nails That hold together the silver bars They're one day gonna take us to the stars 'Cos he's the man who built America See him walking that golden wire A million miles from his starting place See the world...

And more on Whitley Strieber... You know, I've never seen Whitley and Shirley Maclaine in the same room at the same time. Coincidence? You decide.

(on BoA) I'm sorry, but after listening to that performance I have no choice but to with great sadness and reluctance move Stanton to the "Jackass" category.

OK folks, Wild speculation time (because that's what I do): If we allow the possibility that the self persists in a meaningful way after death (and I know that even among those who believe in ghosts that is not a given, but this is spec) there must be a transition of some kind between our...

The fixation on gold in today's show was embarrassingly childish, as if the real value in a transaction derives from a metal. Gold is pretty and pretty good for electrical contacts and a few other things, but other than that what of it? What value does it have to humanity locked in vaults? The...

It'd be interesting to hear Sheldrake talk about Morphic Resonance and his more recent telepathy experiments. The man is definitely not a fool - there's a good bit in this interview on Skeptiko (http://www.skeptiko.com/response-by-dr-rupert-sheldrake/) where he makes his case particularly...

(After all, anything to do with our Kate is inherently paranormal. and cool:)) "Cloudbusting" is for those who didn't know about the arrest of Wilhelm Reich as seen through the eyes of his son Peter. My apologies if I've posted that link before.

I wasn't surprised when he trotted out the Zionists, but Waco? Hmmmm.... Seriously, has anyone ever seen him and Jeff Rense in a room at the same time? Time for some Dylan I think: The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be...

'Cos after all, it sounds waaaaaaaaay cooler than "idiot".

Imagine an isolated community who have somehow avoided being contacted by the rest of humanity, and are therefore outside the mainstream of current human knowledge and global civilisation. Imagine then that members of such a community over the course of time observe meteors, overflying jets...

http://gizmodo.com/5271710/how-do-you-avoid-hitting-stars-at-warp-5-a-pulsar-positioning-system That's a seriously nifty idea. It also suggests (if only as a potential Science Fiction plot element) a question which I'm sure you can all think of by your little selves :)

Many people like to imagine that the world is governed by a shadowy and sinister conspiracy of immensely powerful individuals, usually in league with whichever religious and/or ethnic group they enjoy hating. They will then blame this all-powerful conspiracy for their own sense of having no...

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...
