  • Time traveling Tweeting

    Time traveling Tweeting

    True story: The search for time travelers on Twitter begins! »

    Scientists are searching Twitter feeds from the past to see if there is any mention of news before it actually happened. So far, they have come up with zilch.
    Where’s John Titor when you need him… And would Titor tweet?
  • It’s a dog eat uncle Korea

    It’s a dog eat uncle Korea

    Remember last month we were told that Kim Jong Un’s uncle was assassinated in North Korea?

    It was a big to-do. Even Dennis Rodman was called in for his covert mission back to the nation.
    The reports are unsubstantiated at this point, and the fact they are from Chinese media makes things a little more unverifiable.. 
    But..
    This is the first time public accounts have been rendered a to how Un did his deed…
    What a way to start a new year..

  • Cold is coming… 1994 style

    Cold is coming… 1994 style

    It is extremely cold right now.. the last time I remember cold this bad was in 1994 when I was 14 years old. I recall stories about rivers suddenly freezing and people suffering. That is back when CNN actually had news on .. Nonetheless, it’s 2014 and 20 years since that cold snap. But looking at this map you see, it may soon get pretty close to what was experience two decades back.  The image is from WeatherBELL’s Ryan Maue.. .. the red color reflects where all weather models are in agreement: It will be below 32 degrees. And in some cases much below 32..  My local forecast actually calls for a high on Monday of 30 some degrees—and the temperature will fall at night to negative 2. That is a 30+ drop in temperatures in just a few hours, and a flash freeze—something that the Midwest is going to experience this weekend as their temperatures go well below 0.  And get this: Hawaii’s high elevations are going to be under the freezing mark, too.  at this point, it’s fair to say that the entire United States from North to South and Alaska and Hawaii included—all 50 states—will be in a deep freeze by next week. That is astounding. Amazing. And freaking freezing.

  • A question on auras..

    A question on auras..

    I read once that many children can see auras but they’re told by their parents that they aren’t real. Eventually they just stop seeing them. I guess they sort of push them to the side and ignore them until they go away.

    That is the question posed to me in a message.. It’s an interesting theory. There are some who claim this, others who don’t.. Good example of a disagreement may be this website: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=160191
    I always think that children are more open to any experience—especially paranormal. 
    There are some who scoff at the idea that the paranormal is happening— I get messages all the time on here from people outright laughing at my attention to weird things and the creepier aspects of the universe.
    But I think people who laugh and jab at me for how much I focus on it may simply be a bit worried that sometimes things aren’t explained by science.. 
    Maybe one day they WILL be explained. Which means it’s going to go from paranormal to normal.
    And yesterday’s paranormal is today’s normal.. and tomorrow’s reality.
    It’s all relative I guess.
    Back to the auras: I don’t know. I certainly know that I never remembered seeing one.. But that’s the other thing: Memories from childhood become so fuzzy with age.
