Yikes! I would recommend never going there again, and if you absolutely have to, bringing cereal and milk for dinner. :-P

That's why people need people, to touch them. Old proverb, it say - Hell is people starving despite there being oodles of food because there forks/chpsticks are 5mts long whereas Heaven is people satiated with oodles of food feeding each other with aforementioned 5mts eating tools. Jus' sayin'

If I couldn't touch myself, I'd be malevolent, too.

I'm curious as to why any ghosts should be malevolent? just coz they're dead?

Incidentally, REAL women, as a consensus, seem to have been replaced by synthetic.

two more things, Stuart: my last scratch attack happened about a year ago, and the scar is still there. i didnt blog that one, but it was still bloody when i woke up. And --creepiest of all-- the first scratch attack happened the night of my Uncle's funeral, just hours afterr i had touched his dead body on the same shoulder that i was later scratched on!

cue spooky music....

Exactly. Spanking new condo. And my place is obsessively clean, uncluttered and pristine. Not a lot of hiding places for anything, let alone a rodent.

The scientist in me wants to say it's the result of nighttime auto-scratching, since the internet suggests it happens to people in winter months. But in my case, it happened twice, exactly one year apart, in March. And the reader who sent me his pics says it happens nightly, but only to selected members of his family. I've encouraged him to set up a webcam!

I'm more creeped out by the link at the bottom of my post.

Okay, seriously now? After laying a trap and disposing of one this morning, my best theory--having dismissed ghosts, stray cats, and some kind of Linux malware--is mice. Yeah, I know, you probably live in a newish condo rather than in a leaky 1922 house like mine. Still, give it a thought.

Honestly, this is more creepy than ghosts.

Okay, I'm pretty creeped out.

Hi. I get these scratches quite often - right now I am getting cut every night, while I am sleeping. If I could upload a pic I would show you last night's. Right now I have scars on my neck, upper right arm, upper left arm, and left shoulder.

It has happened for a few years, and it comes and goes. What's interesting is that my wife and I have tried everything imaginable and we can't replicate the cuts, i.e. our nails can't make those types of cuts, neither can anything around the bed area. Not even a pin.

They are normally deep and they cause a slight scab, and I can only imagine they are like cats claws - needless to say, we don't have any pets.

What's more interesting is that my 3 boys have also been cut at various times over the past few years. But my wife has never been cut.

We are normal sane people in a happy house, and we can't figure it out. We simply cannot find anything lying around that would cause these nasty ragged cuts. It feels supernatural to us.

Email me herrytews at gmail if you want to and I will send you my latest pic.

Yolandi and Ninja have been together for years. They have a daughter named Sixteen Jones. Watkins Tudor Jones (Ninja) and Anri du Toit (Yolandi Vi$$er) have been in three bands together.

Re: #StopKony

Hi Ray, thanks for posting about this. I'm really upset that this whole Kony 2012 phenomenon had to happen on a really busy school week because it makes for a great discussion topic, especially with people who usually don't take interest in these types of issues. I also wanted to blog about it and connect this one campaign to my thoughts on international development in general. It's crazy how only in a few days, it went from people posting about Kony 2012 everywhere, to a few people posting articles criticizing the campaign, to people criticizing the criticism, to the criticism of the campaign being widely circulated. At first I was really upset about the whole thing, but I think I have gotten to a point where I'm actually happy about it. In a few days, people have gone from not being aware of issues like this one, to being deeply enthusiastic about a potential solution to these issues, to realizing that there are major flaws with the proposed solution - a process that has taken me years.

Not sure if you've seen this, but I love the way this guy puts it: http://storify.com/alexismadri...

Ooops, I posted above on this. How do 'students' like Graham, or Ajay, Angelina, Alec & Mischa manage the complex business of breathing & thinking simultaneously, never mind putting one foot after the other.

Re: Geo-Engineering

Amphibious — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:14:17 -0000

I tend to the Lovelock view, rather than the BigBiz pabulum spruiked by Lomborg, that the tip over point will be when the miniscule, anthropogenic, current temperature increase causes the permafrost taiga & tundra to release methane (the most potent GHG), rather suddenly.
I, for one, welcome the prospect of sunbathing in Greenland and bumper wheat crops in the Yukon. Pity about NY, London, Amsterdam.
In the Antipodes we have had a less than wildly successful record at various types of terra forming & bioalteration so, permit me to be a little sceptical.

Errr.. Chad is hardly a Central African country. I have been consistently terrified by the results your droogs have previously posted for these quizzes. What bothers me most is that the general abysmal ignorance doesn't bother them or, mostly, even register as important.

Parts of India already have a classical history of polyandrous marriage. Parts of the sub continent, ie the far norther regions away from the hindu/muslim hegemony, such as the HP/and Nepalese/Tobetan border regions. Still extant, esp among the tibetan refugees who couldn't afford to schmooz with the Dalai Lama in McLeodGanj/Dharamsala.
