The Time Traveller Unmasked--> the rest of the story

You may have seen this great ad (or its numerous variants) drifting around the Internet sometime over these least few years.  As happens so rarely, we now know the rest of the story!  Or, the rest of the hoax.  Read on. . . [thanks to Jeff Clinton for the news tip]

John Silveira, who worked for Backwoods Home Magazine confected the ad in the first place:  "it first appeared on page 92 of the Sept/Oct 1997 issue of BHM—and I wrote it."

Since it was published 13 years ago, it has been talked about on the Jay Leno show, and in hundreds of other media outlets.  Thousands of people have written to that Post Office Box.  There have been t-shirts, and there has even been a ghost hunter trying to track down the Time Traveller. To read the full story, go here, to Backwoods Home.

Alien Lore No. 182 - Catholic Church Welcomes The Greys

By Jack Brummet
Paranormal and unexplained phenomena editor
[thanks to Jeff Clinton for the news tip!]

Greys would be welcome in the Roman Catholic church according to an article in The Telegraph--"no matter how many tentacles", one of the Pope's astronomers said.  Dr. Guy Consolmangno--the senior Vatican scientist--has no problem with mixing science and religion.  Brother Consolmangno claimed that the revival of intelligent design – the theory that only God can explain gaps in the theory of evolution – was “bad theology".

Dr. Consolmango is one 12 astronomers working for the Vatican (WTF!), says The Church had been supporting and funding science for centuries.  Well, maybe except Galileo, eh?

The head astronomer said he was "comfortable" with the idea of alien life and when asked if he would baptise an alien, he replied "Only if they asked."   "I’d be delighted if we found life elsewhere and delighted if we found intelligent life elsewhere," he said.

“But the odds of us finding it, of it being intelligent and us being able to communicate with it - when you add them up it’s probably not a practical question.  God is bigger than just humanity. God is also the god of angels.”

The French at war: some quotes

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me."
— General George S. Patton

"The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag."
— David Letterman

"The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq."
— Dennis Miller

"They've taken their own precautions against al-Qa'ida. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house."
— Argus Hamilton

"After what they say was an exhaustive investigation, the Defense Minister of France said today that Osama bin Laden is either still in hiding in Afghanistan, he may have escaped to Pakistan, or he may be dead. Hey, France, thanks a lot. We'll take it from here. Hard to believe they were invaded twice."
— Jay Leno

"What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against DisneyWorld and Big Macs than against the Nazis?"
— Dennis Miller

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion. You just leave a lot of useless noisy baggage behind."
— Jed Babbin, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense

Being On Fire: quotes and a poem

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.  Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

- Terry Pratchett.

Limits

by Jack Brummet

We like to believe

We could endure anything for five minutes

But that theory, cooked up

In your hermetic study or bedroom,

Comes apart at the seams instantly

When you imagine being on fire

Or having crows feast

Upon your eyes.

From the Wikipedia:

 

Being on fire can easily be mistaken for many things like being a volcano or being incredibly warm. So look for these symptoms.

Are your hands on fire/badly damaged/gone?

Are you in pain?

Are you worringly warm?

Is everyone looking at you in horror (as if you are the elephant man)?

Are you screaming?

Are you being sprayed with carbon dioxide and/or water?

Are you running around in circles?

Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?

If you match All, if not most of these criteria, you are indeed on fire.
