The guy should have quit the hard drugs when he had the chance.Just look at him now.
Apparently there was much better weed going around than that crap I was smoking.
Well, that was soon proven to be nothing more than an (embarrassing) instrumentation error. So much for this load of bunk.
Don't tell the Congressional Black Caucus - they'll demand proportional black representation and Obama as Chairman. :)
So Jesus is actually Arthur Dent?
Amen to your post!
I will admit to being suspicious of superadvanced alien cultures that for some reason have to be contacted by means that sound a whole heck of a lot like the sorts of seances that Houdini debunked back in the early 20th century. There's also this from the original article: SPW- I am part of a contact group which for 37 years has been receiving psychographic messages
"Psychographic messages" irresistably suggests what clairvoyantish seancey types call "automatic writing"--that is, open yourself to the "spirit world" and let your hand write whatever comes to "your" mind. Thank you, no. Even assuming that these were "only" the spirits of departed humans, they're frankly not the sorts I'd want to hang around and talk with, as that would be creepy enough on its own; if they were aliens, I'd want to know why, despite their "superadvanced-ism" they had to resort to dodgy dark-arts-type backroom parlor tricks for communication; and if they aren't either friendly dead guys or chatty aliens, well, then they're something else altogether, which does not encourage me to swap recipes with them or vacation snaps or access to the depths of my soul or anything else.
The more that purported "super-science" resembles what we used to call black magic, the more I don't want nothin' to do with it, no matter how vacuum-tight its Tupperware is.
