Aditi sent me this:
Submerged stone structures lying just below the waters off Yonaguni Jima are actually the ruins of a Japanese Atlantis—an ancient city sunk by an earthquake about 2,000 years ago.
That’s the belief of Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan who has been diving at the site [...]

The only time I was ever in the midst of a large group of wild animals was on a trail leading into Fern Canyon, north of Arcata, CA. (Supposedly they shot part of Jurassic Park near there - I can see why.)

Charles Manson, despite being the “Son of Man” wasn’t Jesus so much as he was John the Baptist. Just look at him out there ranting and raving like a wildman in the desert. John the Baptist was imprisoned by Herod, correct? And beheaded? That’s what television is for: beheadings, Talking Heads. Heads fixed onto the [...]
