Although I've been a hard core sci-fi fan since grade school, I've never found much appeal in any of the Star Trek franchises. Rodenberry liked to preach too much, and the later series seemed totally bland and had some of the worst production designs I've ever seen. (So what's with the Klingons...

Give the Bjork video, "All is Full of Love", a look. It fascinated me.

Thank you. I realize this has been a very difficult year for many people. I hope the next twelve months more than make up for what they have had to endure.

Oy! I've never even heard of deep fried Twinkies. Pass some of those things this way.

Heart? What heart? The man has a fuel pump in his chest.

All I can claim to know about 9-11 is that the passengers in the hijacked aircraft and those killed in the Twin Towers are gone forever, and most of them suffered the torments of hell before being given the final release of death. The survivor's families and friends know this as absolute truth...

I thought it was something akin to Vegemite. Shows what an ignoramus I am.

To the best of my knowledge, Aaron, the tests have revealed absolutely nothing to support Lloyd's ET hypothesis. As Tommy has already correctly pointed out, the skull is in pretty bad shape and cannot offer samples of anything other than DNA of the mitochondrial type, and that in very small and...

I genuinely feel sorry for Pye. His interest in the artifact has literally evolved into an obsession that is destroying his life. The last I heard, he's now deeply in debt to the tune of more than fifty thousand dollars, money totally wasted in attempts to pay for even more forensic testing that...

A portrait I finished this morning. Used Modo, Poser7, PS CS3, UV Mapper Pro. Here are some links to some great free software Paracast members should find useful, since so many of you enjoy graphic art. Free is good. Caligari is giving away Truespace, a very good quality 3D modeling and...

Oh, god, I saw her spinning both ways in cycles. What does that mean?

As I recall, hasn't the Berlitz/Moore book been shredded by most every legitimate researcher, including Stan Friedman? I do know Berlitz earned a reputation for sloppy research and inaccurate reporting, perhaps best epitomized by that sensationalist Bermuda Triangle book.

My latest experience with disembodied voices was with "something" I have since come to call the "refrigerator lady." One evening, roughly two years ago, I was alone in our house and had decided to take a break from reading and prepare myself a glass of ice water. As soon as passed into the...

In my experience, well versed generalists always offer more insights and stimulating arguments when discussing most subjects than specialists, who often tend to be intellectually crippled by narrowly restricted educations, self imposed ignorance and an arrogant contempt for anything that...

Okay, I admit to being an insensitive ignoramus. Please explain to me how a coin can be racist. I must have missed the portrait of Aunt Jemimah on the face side.

God, you have to love cats. There, I've said it. And no, I don't like Broadway musicals. It's just that any animal that displays that much curiosity about the world around them is special. But lord help us all if they ever evolve thumbs.

The notion that cats are servants of the Dark Side is a relatively new idea that became widely accepted the middle ages. The ancients considered them to be sacred allies of mankind, who protected the household against evil spirits and acted as guides for departed human souls on their dangerous...

Just quit using the litter box as a buffet table and you should be just fine.

I heard that. The only profession that pays as poorly as a career in the arts is teaching, but at least that comes with decent benefits. If you can stand all the political nonsense and paranoia, that is. Although it may sound arrogant, I've come to the conclusion that the majority of humans...

If nominated I will not run; if elected, I will not serve. Unless I get paid a whole lot more than Bush, and am guaranteed free pizza and Milky Way bars for life. Then I'll reconsider.
