I would like to plead for my right to investigate natural phenomena without having guns pointed at me. I also ask for the right to be wrong without being hanged for it. — Wilhelm Reich, father of the concept of orgone energy and inventor of the orgone accumulator Wikipedia Wilhelm Reich Museum … Read entire article »

ARG-Watch: May 2009

May 28th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Watching the ARGonauts Play If you’ve followed the Elfis Network from the beginning then you know of my early interest in Alternate Reality Gaming and their potential for “mucking up the works” for paranormal and parapolitical researchers. You may also know that my interests were rekindled in 2007 by the provocative hypotheses of blogger DreamsEnd, who speculated that the mysterious suicides of artists Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake were some kind of sophisticated art hoax or viral marketing / alternate reality game. After a very rough period of defending his theories online, blogger DreamsEnd temporarily pulled up shop, taking down his websites. My own re-investigations into ARGland dwindled and I too went back to my normal para activities… That is until I became aware of a new blog that was following many … Read entire article »

Feral Child found in Siberia

May 28th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Reuters is reporting that Russian authorities have assumed custody of a five year old girl who has spent the majority of her life locked in an unheated flat in the Siberian city of Chita with a group of dogs and cats. The child, who authorities assume to be around five years old despite stunted growth that makes her appear to be around two years of age, is non-vocal and exhibits dog-like behavior, such as barking and jumping at doors whenever care takers leave the room. (More at Reuters.com) The girl, who is being called “Natasha”, is far from the first documented feral child. While the mythic founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus (who legend claims were suckled by a she wolf after being saved from death by having their basket set … Read entire article »

Dragon’s bite is venomous

May 19th, 2009 | Add a Comment

It’s long been believed that the bite of the Komodo dragon was lethal because of the potent stew of bacteria found living in their mouths. But, as it turns out, the dragon’s bite would prove lethal even if the beasties brushed, flossed, and rinsed daily.  Australian researcher Brian Fry located the big lizard’s venom glands via magnetic resonance imaging, and then successfully extracted them from a terminally ill dragon at the Singapore Zoo. Although the poison elicits a variety of reactions, the deadly combo seems to be a drop in blood pressure and an anti-clotting agent that causes the victim to bleed out,  resulting in a victim too lethargic to resist the dragon’s attacks. Read more about it here. … Read entire article »

Missing Link Found?

May 19th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Big news regarding evidence of evolution: Fossil Discovery Is Heralded In what could prove to be a landmark discovery, a leading paleontologist said scientists have dug up the 47 million-year-old fossil of an ancient primate whose features suggest it could be the common ancestor of all later monkeys, apes and humans. Anthropologists have long believed that humans evolved from ancient ape-like ancestors. Some 50 million years ago, two ape-like groups walked the Earth. One is known as the tarsidae, a precursor of the tarsier, a tiny, large-eyed creature that lives in Asia. Another group is known as the adapidae, a precursor of today’s lemurs in Madagascar. Based on previously limited fossil evidence, one big debate had been whether the tarsidae or adapidae group gave rise to monkeys, apes and humans. The latest discovery bolsters … Read entire article »

Because it’s Thursday Monkey Business

May 14th, 2009 | Add a Comment

As we start winding up (or down) for the weekend, let’s take a moment to indulge in a little monkey business, just because it’s Thursday. Let’s start with this bit from Dallas, TX where a contractor doing lot work for a Montessori school uncovered an out of place primate skull that bears a bit of a resemblance to the skull of a small baboon. Out of place monkeys are nothing new to Texas. A troupe of Japanese macaques, brought to the state from around Kyoto to protect them from extermination by angry merchants fed up with their thieving, had some folks concerned about the potential for wild breeding populations establishing themselves in parts of south Texas after they began wandering outside the sanctuary they were relocated to in 1972. But how this skull … Read entire article »

A chicken in every NOT!

May 7th, 2009 | 1 Comment

(a “because its Thursday” special) So, Oprah Winfrey recently ended her “21 day vegan challenge” and decided to cap it all off by buying everyone chicken from KFC. I’m not even going to point out the obvious “WTF?” factor in this action. I’m not vegan by a long shot. As a dedicated omnivore, I’ve no intention of giving up my cheese or the occasional hamburger. But my girlfriend is a vegan chef, and a very talented one at that (food photos here, NOM NOM), and so eating vegan at most of my meals is not only NOT a big deal, I frankly don’t “miss” anything. And I’m sure someone of Oprah’s resources had the best of ingredients at her disposal as well. Maybe she really was craving chicken after her 3 meat-free … Read entire article »

Poet goes missing while exploring Japanese volcano

May 1st, 2009 | Add a Comment

I received the below e-mail from a friend. A very talented photographer, and a fine writer in her own right.  She wrote to inform us that her friend, poet Craig Arnold, went missing yesterday while exploring on Kuchino-erabu-shima, a small volcanic island in Japan.  She is asking that we take a minute to write our congressmen and ask them to petition the Japanese government to keep the search active.  Please, if you have a moment, click the link, below, enter you zip code, and paste the form letter into your congressman’s mail program. Or, if you feel so inclined, write one yourself. Craig’s friends and family would appreciate it. Hello all, I am writing with a very personal request. My sophomore year in college, I took a creative writing class at UT … Read entire article »
