Intuitive Invertebrate RetiresIt was hard not to get wrapped up in World Cup fever, although sadly I didn’t see many games because I don’t have cable. I love watching soccer/football to watch the sheer athleticism of the players (and referees, for that matter), and I was so pleased that so many were tuned into the games. People [...] Bigfoot Spotted in North CarolinaA man in western North Carolina was calling for coyotes, and was rather surprised to see what some would describe to be Bigfoot lurking around his backyard. What I find fascinating about the story is that there have been stories of a creature of sasquatch-like stature traveling around the area for many years. The police [...] Crop CirclesIt’s that time of year. Crop circles are starting to appear, and they are very prevalent in the southwest English counties. Wiltshire is one county that attracts many visitors for its crop circles, Stonehenge, Silbury Hill, and Avebury henge. A crop circle was spotted near Salisbury, Wiltshire, on May 7, 2010. It was located in [...] Stephen Hawking and Aliens: ET should be put on holdA blog posting on NPR’s website immediately caught my eye today. Professor Stephen Hawking, the highly respected theoretical physicist/applied mathematician, thinks we shouldn’t be so gung ho when it comes to making contact with aliens. The Discovery Channel is airing a show called Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, and in this series, he mentions [...] Update on Midwest Fireball in the SkyAccording to this story from WEAU out of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the former president of the LaCrosse (WI) Area Astronomical Society thought that the fireball spotted in five Midwestern states was probably a stony meteorite, and the sonic boom heard was most likely caused by the meteorite going through the sound barrier. Also included in the story [...] Fireball Rockets through the Midwestern SkiesThis morning as I was getting ready, I was listening to the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, news station and heard that what people were calling a meteorite (although they were not confirming that it was such a thing) was spotted rocketing through the sky in at least five states and that a sonic boom was also [...] Definition of a LeprechaunIn honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would share the exact definition of a leprechaun according to the Field Guide to the Little People by Nancy Arrowsmith. The leprechaun is the Faeries’ shoemaker and goes by various names, depending on what part of Ireland you are in, and they only reside in Ireland. [...] Let Your Intuition Guide YouSome call it a gut feeling. Some call it their inner voice. Intuition is hard to define because you can’t pinpoint its origin to a truly definable resource. No matter where you believe the guiding force that is intuition comes from, it is a definite force that can help guide you down the winding road [...] Who is Your Favorite Ghost?I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger, which made me stop and realize that ghosts are everywhere in the media. Movies, books, television, music. They all have wonderful examples of ghosts, whether real or fictional. On a fictional basis, who are your favorite movie/tv/book ghosts? My choices are: Movie: The Ghost and [...] Buying a House? Get a Ghost Inspection First!I just signed a lease for a new apartment and as I was walking around my new digs I thought, “I wonder if any ghosts live here?” I didn’t sense anything when I was first shown the apartment, and being alone in the space, I couldn’t sense anything that afternoon. But it made me think. What [...] MEET THE BLOGGERS
