Yes, we are stardust. We are also golden. We are also billion year old carbon. And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Rabbit

Comment: I live in a small town in Unicoi, TN. I have never seen a
creature quite like the Rabbit Man. I seen him back in May of 2011 at my
home there. He was at least 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide! When I seen him,
I at first thought he was a tree, but I glanced over again. He was like a
giant black rabbit. I read about some legends in the area, about a man
that lived in the 1920's that was overrun by the state. He soon started
drowning kids and adults, and killed them with a spike. He is said to come
out late at night, and for sure at Halloween!

Can't be the Bunnyman. The Bunnyman is a white rabbit. (I was terrified of the Bunnyman as a child.)

Obviously if you were Harvey going rogue, you'd disguise yourself in black.

Comment: I use my pictures for screensaver, I have noticed that if I let
them run, a small picture of Obama & sometimes a picture of BinLaden show
on my screen. What do you think that means? The one of BinLaden has other
people in the background. I have been worried about it and wonder where
they come from. Maybe from News?

Comment: I read your article about KLEE-TV, and while that story is a
hoax, I have had an interesting experience. (I heard this myself, not a
"friend of a friend"). In the '60's we were in our car listening to an am
radio station when the reception faded out and for just a few moments we
heard a news report which was obviously a few years old. I do not
remember the report--sorry--but it did have some clear clues such as
referral to an earlier president in the present tense. Radio waves can
travel a long way, a long time, and can be reflected, but I'm sure the
chances of such an occurence are minute. This was probably a
once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.

Fright

Comment: I was told by a gentleman that he had a buddy over in Afghanistan
that told him about giant spiders over there.
They hunt in packs and are about the size of a small dog.
This gentleman was also told that these spiders attack people
and bite them. Their fangs are about 4-6 inches long and sharp like
knives. Have you heard anything like this at all?
I am quite skeptical about this story myself.

Reading

Comment: Re: Photo of Pres. Bush with upside-down book

My 2 cents:

This is NOT the image that caused so much criticism.
I clearly remember a video of Bush staring at the upside down book with a
blank expression on his face & a timer calculating how long before he
finally reacted to the news of the bombings. The timer was surely added
but the video showed him looking down...not in the student's direction.

And what about the press that travels with him on these photo ops.
Someone could easily have shot the video.

Comment: The Weed Whacker

On occassion I come across a debunking that I know to be true. First
Mythbusters said duct tape doesn't get rid of plantar warts, which it did
in my experience. The reason I am writing you is your article called The
Weed Whacker. I saw one of the signs in the Minneapolis area in 2002. It
was shocking to see as I smoked marijuana and knew what it referenced,
while a person that did not smoke would not have understood. It said "If
you think its dry now wait until September"
Most people would think this was a reference to a drought of water however
as a well connected marijuana consumer who I understood that they were
rubbing it in our face that they had successfully impacted the marijuana
supply. I believe this was the result of a couple very lage marijuana
seizures in a short period of time both domestic wholesale and border
smuggling with increased post 9/11 security.
I unfortunately can not supply you with a picture because I never took one
but I can attest to personally seeing the billboard. I know from my
experience that this is absolutely true and you should reclassify it, at
least give it a bit of credibility. Maybe contact NORML or High Times and
see if they have a picture which I am sure that they would have received
one.

Yes unfortunately, we can't allow a little thing like proof get in the way of a good conspiracy theory now can we?

Shifty Eyes

Comment: Earlier this week, I returned home from work at lunch and noticed
some things underneath my carport had been moved. The top had been
removed from a bottle of suntan spray and was sitting on my window seal.
A golf towel had been moved from a container that holds plastic bags. My
female size 6 flip flops were no longer on the back step and had been
replaced with much larger size pair of Ed Hardy converse tennis shoes that
belonged to a male.

There were no signs of entry and nothing was missing but the cheap flip
flops. The police said he had never heard of anything like this and
didn't even write a report nor take the shoes for evidence. He didn't
seem to think it was gang related.

Why was somebody on my carport without my permission and trading their
bigger shoes for mine? I live alone and have been very concerned if this
activity might have some meaning.

Comment: When I am working on my laptop, a man's voice comes thru it
talking quietly saying the Lord's prayer. It sounds as if he is
terrified. Then, two gunshots. After a pause, two men are talking about
cops and stuff. It has terrified me. Has this been reported to you by
anyone else. If so, how are they doing this?
