Soooooo no ones ever tried to just visit and say 'oh hai!'? I don't understand, is it Russia keeping this secret, or the people responsible for this station?

 

Sending them a Lolcat is bound to break the ice.

 

Да?

So many 'omg what is this that's been washed up!?' stories, this one really is pants.

Remember the 'alien' washed up a few months ago? Turned out to be a sloth that had decomposed in a way that made it look a bit odd? That you really had to look at to try and figure out what it was.

 

This I got straight away though, it's a sea otter!

I once had the best lucky streak ever in a game of the boardgame 'Risk'. I for some reason started guessing what numbers on the dice people were going to roll, and it worked a couple of times, my friend then wanted to test me so she threw 3 dice and I guessed the exact numbers on all of the dice 3,6,5. I could never do this again so it was probably extreme luck and coincidence but It was pretty awesome at the time

If you flip a coin, and it lands heads 9 times, what's the probability that it will land heads on the 10th time?

 

 

Answer: still 50-50. But plenty of people make a lot of money out of people's belief that it's more likely to land tails.

I recently bought 2 boxes of UFO/paranormal books at a boot sale and getting through them at a fair speed. I highly recommend the series of books by Timothy Good and Nick Pope, albeit as time goes on their theories get evermore strange.

 

The best book I've read on the subject to date is Left At East Gate, which documents the Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings in the UK in 1980. It's not the best written book, which in a way is comforting because you get the sense that the author is just trying to document what happened rather than sensationalise it for the sake of a larger royalty cheque.

 

Just because I'm interested in this stuff though doesn't mean I believe it all. There are clearly authors who are exploiting the public's interest for financial gain, and fabricating (or at least grossly overstating) incidents in the process.
