How time flies. One year ago I was enjoying a Mexican dinner with my pal Greg Bishop in Phoenix. This year he’s one of the speakers at the International UFO Conference –save one of those Güero Canelo hotdogs for me, vato!!

  • ‘Huge flashing UFO’ purportedly filmed over Normandy –AND Texas– was nothing but a huge hoax.
  • In 1939 Winston Churchill wrote an essay about the possibility on alien life –which is probably the reason he ordered a UFO coverup in the 1950s.
  • NASA is studying whether or not to light their new big-ass candle with The Right Stuff on board –and if you don’t understand that reference, well I only have THIS to say…
  • Here are the winners of NASA’s Space Poop Challenge –because there are no gas stations between here and Mars!
  • First Star Trek gave us flip cell phones, now comes Geordi’s headset that will let the legally blind to see again.
  • A giant galaxy orbiting our own just appeared out of nowhere. Great! Maybe now all my left socks will also reappear.
  • The Paranormal Activity franchise is moving to the next frontier of mass entertainment: VR.
  • Brain scans can detect autism long before symptoms start to manifest.
  • Robert Kennedy Jr. and De Niro say they’ll give $100K to anyone who can prove to them ‘vaccines are safe.’ Oh boy…
  • The federal Patent and Trademark office ruled against the true inventors of CRISPr.
  • Sorry, you can’t hunt for Bigfoot –or Pokemons– on public taxpayers’ money.
  • Revisiting the mystery of the Wollaton Park gnomes.
  • Grill Flame was the name of the CIA operation which used psychics to try to spy on Iran during the hostage crisis.
  • The Teachings of OA: Was the Netflix series inspired by Carlos Castañeda’s Tensegrity techniques?
  • Red Pill of the Day: Stealing cars to have a ‘joy ride’ of the most EXTREME kind…

Thanks to those awesome ice-cream sodas at McAlpine’s.

Quote of the Day:

Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the 'moron' part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master of the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or 'paranormal' --a term he personally detests... When he's not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found blogging, doodling, fooling around and offering his services as news administrator and writer at The Daily Grail. He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City. absurdbydesign.com

    1. I love that story
      Though I had never read that version. The ones I had read tells how the ‘winged fairies’ kept shooting some kind of paralyzing ray toward the witness.

      It’s interesting how they asked for water to drink. Fey folklore tells of how people in Celtic lands used to leave water for the Good People as a way to stay in good relations with them.

  4. “Cranking”
    Newer model cars don’t have distributors and rotors any more. Each cylinder has its own ignition coil and these can sometimes fail after a tune up (improper re-seating or breaking of the connector) or just from a cheaply manufactured coil.

    So, yes, I’ve experienced “cranking” but it didn’t inspire “wanking” or “spanking”. But, I can say that the engine was heaving so badly that it broke one of the motor mounts. Certainly not recommended for a “joy ride” in your own car!

  5. Vaccines
    Vaccines: As someone who lives in a family of medical professionals, I think I’m a little biased about this subject. I have a friend who spreads this kind of garbage on Facebook and I’ve asked her why only to get a distracted response. The children will suffer.

      “One of the strongest links to this terrible set of disorders was a drastic change in the vaccine programs of the United States and many other countries, which included a dramatic increase in the number of vaccines being given at a very early age. No other explanation has been forthcoming from the medical elite.

      In this paper I shall present evidence, some of which has not been adequately discussed, that provides a connection between excessive vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders.”

      2. Vaccinations, Mutations & ASD
        Statistics demonstrate that vaccination works.I think there is much room for improvement in its delivery schedule and room for refinement within the vaccines themselves, but even as it stands the pros do outweigh the cons – there is always an amount of risk when taking any medicine, whether Modern or Traditional in nature.

        I am diagnosed as having ASD – modern diagnosis includes a wide spectrum of ‘disorders’ – hence Autism Spectrum Disorder! There have been a number of formerly independently classified conditions that are now ‘recognised’ as being related within this spectrum which greatly adds to the more recent statistical shifts.

        Re: Mutations – there are an important number of environmental factors to take into consideration, such as the presence of a number of toxins that may be identified within umbilical cord blood including: PCBs, DDT, BPA along with varying concentrations of lead, mercury, cadmium, manganese, arsenic, aluminium and pesticides, amongst others. The intrauterine phase of life has significant impact not only upon the evolving fetus but also upon its later adult stage…Furthermore, mitrochondrial mutations that have been linked to ASD can be inherited directly from the mother or may manifest spontaneously during development.

        I feel vaccinations are somewhat of a ‘red herring’ when said to be the sole/primary cause of ASD, as there are far too many other factors and variables that come into play where mutations of DNA are concerned. If vaccinations play a part in that, it is most likely but a miniscule drop in the ocean of current environmental contamination in which we exist!

        1. The most compelling
          The most compelling correlation is between the quantity of vaccinations given in relatively short time spans. The sheer quantity and variation of vaccines given very early in life seem to be the main issue. The argument is often simplistically framed by entities defending their pharmaceutical turf because it is easier to cast the argument as one of whether to vaccinate or not, but that is the real red herring.

  7. Talking about new series
    The Teachings of OA: Was the Netflix series inspired by Carlos Castañeda’s Tensegrity techniques?

    Talking about new series:

    I just watched season 1 of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (TV series), the one from 2016 with Elijah Wood. It takes a great deal to burn my brain, and this show pushed me to the limit. I need to watch it many more times. HA!

    You guys might watch it and see if it rings any interesting bells for you as well.
