Check out: http://www.forbiddenarcheology.com/
My favorite site of this nature is s8int.com, whose mission is to provide evidence for Noah's Flood. In the process he has assembled a staggering amount of oopart data (and I do mean staggering). Bring a lunch, a flashlight, and a grain of salt.
Even though some of the evidence is sketchy at best (as the author of the site freely admits), I daresay anyone visiting there is going to find something to make them go "Hmmm".

Amazing
I have a number of amethyst geodes, and they are beautiful. Our local Gem and Mineral Society puts on a big show each year and you can see many wonderful fossils, etc.
An entire dinner table is arranged with rocks and minerals resembling every type of food on the dinner plates. It’s amazing to see.

An .swf file with an embedded .mp3 or .wav audio - song - or sound - can be included as a (img src=”.swf” width=”1” height=”1” border=”0”) file and WebTV user’s browsers will “see” them and start playing the audio
No good for you PC users though
The .swf audio loads very fast and will be used more and more on webpages and websites in the future
Some PCs will recogize Flash (Javascript) audio tags - but FR will not support them
-
I use .swf, .mp3, .wav, .au, .ram, .mid audios quite a bit
Thanks.

Lol, a REALLY big deal, huh?

LOL!
Weird Thread!
You’ll have to point out the really wierd things as there are only 24 posts and we have posted a number of times, lol.

Not the comments

OK, so we aren’t 00-PART odd-balls! That’s a relief..!
How about an eye witness account, then?
Stalactites are supposed to take “millions of years” to form, yet on a field trip to the C&O Canal in the 70s, my science teacher [with a perfectly straight face] pointed out a cluster of 4-8 inch skinny ones that were hanging from the roof of the stone tunnel leading to the canal at McCoy’s Ferry.
The tunnel was built at the same the time the canal was.
He was also the person who taught us about the length of time necessary for their formation.
Is that “bogus”?
Personally, I don’t think “science” has a clue about anything regarding “time”, *really*.
Life is a wonderful, unsolvable mystery and I’m not “threatened” by that one bit.
In fact, I love it.
The fast-growing stalactites form via processes very different from calcium carbonate stalactites found in limestone caves. Limestone is not soluble in water. When carbon dioxide (from decaying plants in the soil above the cave) mixes with water, it forms a very weak carbonic acid. This turns the calcium carbonate into calcium bicarbonate, which dissolves. When drips are exposed to air in the cave, a little carbon dioxide escapes from them into the atmosphere, which reverses the process and precipitates a small amount of calcium carbonate. The upper average rate for limestone stalactite growth is ten centimeters per thousand years, with lower growth rates outside of tropical areas.
Fast-growing stalactites, on the other hand, either grow from gypsum through an evaporative process, or they form from concrete or mortar. When water is added to concrete, one product is calcium hydroxide, which is about 100 times more soluble than calcite. The calcium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to reconstitute calcium carbonate.
The tunnel was constructed from indigenous limestone blocks.
Have a look:

Dr. Paul Guptill, was, by odd coincidence, the state’s reknowned “resident” scientist who visited schools specifically for the purpose of educating kids about science.
He was our “teacher”, in name, for that particular day.
My “less than scientific observation” was eye witness testimony to what I and everyone else saw that day.
*shrug*
Pick that apart how ever you may.
I saw them.
End of story.

So your hypothesis, based upon one visual observation 37 years ago, is that all stalactites grow at the same accelerated rate so therefore the sciences of archeology, geology, and chemistry must be wrong? Before I take that giant leap of faith can you tell me what the specific limestone type is that the blocks were comprised of, what the water source is, and what the mortar mix was that the water encountered along its path through the construction? Can you also tell me what the xbar, r, and standard deviation of the ambient temperature the tunnel experiences?
I want to be on it.
