Today’s news is a mess of surrealism and contradictions…
- Ben Radford discusses the remote viewing twitter experiment for Live Science. Although, Ben’s not exactly telling the full story now is he. But have we come to expect anything different from this mob? I think the word is propaganda folks…
- Boy chosen by Dalai Lama as reincarnated spiritual leader turns his back on Buddhism.
- Richard P. Feynman…one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, and a kickin’ bongo drum player to boot.

- The ‘truth’ behind NASA’s UFO videos.
- Fear and Loathing: the board game. Go to Bat Country. Go directly to Bat Country. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

- Pilot leaving Houston spots strange object close by.
- Ufologist Nick Pope gets the Slashdot treatment.
- Scientology CEO outraged by Wikipedia ban. Religions are headed by CEOs now?

- Especially given that plants can recognise themselves. I say destroy all the triffids now, before the meteor storm.
- ‘Oldest pottery‘ found in China. Or is that oldest china found in Pottery? Confusing stuff.
