Mystery and Faith and Religion I have been trying to talk sense into an old friend who has a bad case of the religion virus. The really odd thing in his case is that it's not a straightforward belief - it's not a "literal bible" or "Catholic" case, it's not even a vanilla "Christianity" case...

I looked out my kitchen window and a large bird, at least 1 foot long, is lying belly up on the ground. A dead bird in my backyard isn't unusual. I've been finding three or four robins or sparrows a year. But this guy was much bigger. I grabbed a plastic grocery bag and went to take a look...

Hi all, I hope the mods will forgive the cross-post here, but another user alerted me to this forum and suggested I provide a link here. Anyway, there is a bit of a puzzle regarding some of the steel that was recovered from the World Trade Center after the 9/11/2001 attacks. Evidence of...

This video, "Screw Loose Change" [ http://www.lolloosechange.co.nr/ ], deserves its own thread. I want to acknowledge its creator, MarkyX, for putting it together. He did a fantastic job.

In my opinion, this is the biggest science news item of the month, maybe the year: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=00077EDE-A2AE-1345-A2AE83414B7F0000 They've been trying to solve this mystery for years.

This is about the only 'paranormal' thing that has ever happened to me. 'Paranormal' in the sense that I can think of nothing normal to explain it, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable gentlemen or ladies with engineering and scientific backgrounds can clue me in. Yesterday morning I am...

I was watching the Travel Channel last night. Did you see this? About these crystal skulls? That there are supposed to be 13 of these? That the whereabouts of 5 of them are known. They are made of material only 2nd in hardness to diamond. And nobody knows for sure who made these or where they...

I might as well take a chance that someone here knows something about this problem, which has both me and the local tech guy at my ISP baffled. Here it is: At random, intermittent intervals, I cannot get a DNS lookup. At the best of times, I get quick, but not instantaneous lookups, and it...

I was browsing nature documentaries when I stumbled upon this. It is under the "Religion and Spirituality" category in Amazon.com but under the "Natural World" category in Amazon.co.uk. Has anybody seen it ? Because I'm certainly not going to spend £9.51 plus s&h just to raise my blood pressure.

From today's London Times: City is haunted by dry spirits, says ghostbuster By A Scotland Correspondent A SCIENTIFIC ghost hunt in Edinburgh has yielded reports of apparitions, phantom footsteps, unexplained cold spots and unseen hands, it is revealed today. Richard Wiseman, who led the...

Part of the reason I moved out here was for the drier, more stable climate. Back east my sinuses would flare up just before and during a rain storm along with my knees. For the most part, it's pretty much worked out. My knees aren't as persistantly stiff and achy. However, I do have the...

Hi all. My name is Matteo Martini and I would like to present you some phenomena which may have some rational and medical explanations even if, at the moment, I can not find any. I hope that what I will describe may interest many people in this forum, but I think that mainly physicians...

Okay, I'm transferring some of my dad's old vinyl LPs to CD for him, and the one I'm on at the moment is Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Human Menagerie. It makes it approximately 17.8 times easier to do this if I know the track lengths of a record, but I can't find this info on the web. So...

I was wondering why no one has been discussing the experiments with magnetic ball bearings and copper tubing Randi has mentioned in the commentaries. I think I know why the ball's motion is periodically retarded when moving south down an incline, but not when moving north. Remember, the steel...

"Former Navy Secretary John Lehman has no idea where a Silver Star citation displayed on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's campaign Web site came from, he said Friday. The citation appears over Lehman's signature. "It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I...

Found this video link on Fark.com. No one is positing the bigfoot style crap yet. The video is blury and out of focus (why the hell do the people that own these camera's never know how to properly operate them?). Speculation is it's a fox or something. But it looks really weird. Maybe a strange...

The Curious Incident of the Boxes Yeah...wouldn't want to rule out murder in the case of someone garrotted to death. Coulda been a suicide. :rolleyes:

www.strategypage.com April 28, 2004: Fighting increased in Fallujah (west of Baghdad) and outside Najaf in the south. In both cases, gangs of gunmen, who have been tormenting local Iraqis, but convincing many foreign journalists that they are fighting to Iraqi independent from American...

PENN & TELLER'S MAGIC AND MYSTERY TOUR [b] This aired on TV a while ago, but you can still see some clips of the shows on the web site (RealPlayer is needed.) I saw all three episodes (China, Egypt, India), and I should have taped them! Maybe, it will air again, or it will be released on DVD.

Is anyone attending the Mystery writers convention in Monterey this year? Sand, Seals, Otters and Mystery If so I'll leave some clues, and will buy a beer for whom ever can find the correct bar. ;)

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A publicity-shy Russian researcher who labors in near-seclusion may have solved one of mathematics' oldest and most abstruse problems, the Poincare Conjecture. Evidence has been mounting since November 2002 that Grigori "Grisha" Perelman has cracked the...

Hi all Alynda (a vice president of Australian Skeptics) and I have set up 'Mystery Investigators', skeptical science show for high schools. Check it out at: http://www.mysteryinvestigators.com Oh, you can meet Alynda and the other vice president Peter (of Ratbags fame) at the Amazing Meeting.

I've sent e mails to Randi clarifying the highly probable cause of the Space mystery" so called "discovery" by Astronaut Ed Lu, which Randi seems gaga over in his 11/7 commentary. I thought perhaps he would update this item, but hasn't so far. With commentary language and phrases like...

Anyone know anything about this? Article from ArmyTimes.com

http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?031027fa_fact Like PJ O'Rourke said: The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.

I'd like to visit one of those mystery spots that Randi mentions in this week's commentary, especially to see the illusion of water flowing uphill. A little while ago I came across a site that explains how this one works: http://www.sandlotscience.com/MysterySpots/MysterySpots.htm It also has...
