If you stage it they will come! And I could announce the decision to begin the process of considering opening up my model of ancient history to hackers!!
By the way, what happened to those vids Greg posted the other day. I had just finished watching the third one about myth and deception when they vanished to some dark corner of The Grail. I was actually delighted that Woo-ians might be embracing skepticism. Skepticism is not the enemy of Woo. I don't mind that scientists and academics are highly skeptical. I do mind that they refuse to brainstorm and come up with any new ideas worthy of being skeptical about!
If we don't have Woo Weekend (WW), how will there ever be a WWII?

I'm gonna have to convince Greg that a Woo Weekend is a logical step for TDG ^_^
As for those vids, here ya go. You just need to click on the link that says "Read more stories on the Daily Grail blog" so that every entry made at the Grail in chronological order appears ;)
PS: And on the Woo Weekend we could have amazing snacks, like... Wookamole :P
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...

Greg? No, no. Let's ask Woogie (Chris Elliot) to say a woord. And then just let it "get weird".

Its an interesting idea of the Pirate Bay, however launching their servers into space, out of the reach of law also means that there is nothing to protect them from being shot down. I am imagining an arms race now between the Space Pirates and the Media Companies as they try to out manoeuvre each other in orbit.

I never thought I'd live to see a conversation about space pirates outside of a D&D session. Ah, life, how I love you...
