Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted March 15, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2012 It's the pot-kettle-blackiness of it being Brookstein that makes it even funnier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffingtonClyro Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Now I love a good conspiracy theory more than most... but chemtrails?! Come on. Ā I read a fair bit about chemtrails a few years ago. Estonia (I think) has the highest level of eye witness reports to date (few years ago) There was also talk that they were using this method to spray the Avian Flu onto villages in Japan. Obviously bullshit seen as how the Avian Flu completely flopped so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Au Posted March 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2012 One of my mates posted a link to this site on Twitter; it's a website where you can watch indie produced films for free. Ā Having a look through, I found an interview/documentary with Dan Aykroyd on UFO's and I've been listening to it at work this morning. To say that he's a believer is somewhat of an understatement, if one of my friends went on about stuff like he does here, I'd think they were crazy. Or, with my friends, that they'd spent too long watching conspiracy videos on YouTube on an acid comedown. Ā In any case, have a watch/listen: http://www.indiemoviesonline.com/watch-mov...plugged-on-ufos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) That's the thing though, I don't mind people getting excited about stuff that might exist or phenomenon that can't really be explained. So unidentified flying objects, until they're definitively identified, are fascinating; cryptozoology is fascinating. Paranormal psychic ability is fascinating. Most people who get into Fortean stuff probably do so because of an innate fascination with the fringes of science; I certainly did. Ā What's really stupid is people believing absolute shit that's easily explained away and that falls well within the normal boundaries of science - like chemtrials, or Rods, or 9/11 conspiracies. There's no point in speculating about that stuff, as scientists can already explain it. It's when you start disbelieving the entire scientific community on the grounds that they might all be lying for some reason, that you spin off into conspiracy territory. Ā Ā EDIT: also, just started watching this documentary posted above, and it is exactly like this! Ā Ā Even his voice is the same. Ā If Einstein had told us UFOs were real, would we have believed him?Ā He never spoke about it. Edited March 16, 2012 by Loki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā This is a pretty fine explanation, and I feel exactly the same. Ā As far as Dan Aykroyd goes, he's always been wacky, and just gets wackier as the years go on. Ghostbusters was written out of his love for the paranormal, and he even has his own brand of vodka that harnesses THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS Ā Ā That's not a joke btw. Ā Dan Aykroyd and partner John Alexander are interested in the legend of the 13 crystal skulls. It was from this inspiration, in 2007 they came up with the concept for Crystal Head Vodka. The heads are thought to offer spiritual power and enlightenment to those who possess them, and as such stands not as a symbol of death, but of life. Their vodka product is the result avoiding the use of additives during creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
