Yah, I was looking for the Discovery, myself.

One of my friends kept the most unusual fortune he had ever gotten in a cookie; “Tastes like chicken.” I got one that said “You will be crossing the great river soon.” I was a little nonplused, as crossing the great river is a common metaphor for death in many cultures around the world. My most rece...

Uh, what's it mean if you can climb up into the picture and find a whole other world beyond the edges of the picture, like you simply climbed through a window in the computer screen?

I like to tell people on the net I'm an artificial intelligence working on passing the Turing Test. When they tell me I've failed by telling them I am an artificial intelligence, I point out not so; do you actually believe me?

Fox is my guardian spirit. According to the Nez Pierce, your guardian spirit is also what you are. In the Nez Pierce Coyote stories, Fox was Coyote's friend who gave him tactful suggestions that would have kept him out of trouble, if Coyote had bothered to use them. I guess that makes me Coyote's st...

I saw an iridescent cloud pass over San Juan Island Washington back in the 70s.

No, I have never done drugs.

You know as well as I do that this was a UFO that blew up. Grak! (Dear people) It was an old Klingon garbage scow who's name translates as roughly "Your Blood Screams as You Joyously Ingest Klingon Wasabi Whiskey". They were careful (for Klingons) to try to land away from populated areas ...

I saw the title of this thread as was afraid this was going to be about wine made from fermented turkey! The old fashioned turkey stuffing inside the bird is my family's tradition. I have used wild fall mushrooms and mushroom broth as part of the stuffing. Sadly, this was a bad mushroom season in no...

http://www.jsu.edu/news/july_dec2004/sqcut1a.jpg Reality is stranger than anything the nuts on this board can come up with. Actually, those holes are left by bot fly larvae in the genus Cuterebra when they emerge from the warbles, bumps are caused by them living under the skin. Some entomologists w...

Well, tweak my fipple!

that reminds me of the time I kept a recorder in my armpit to keep it warm before I played it in the recorder choir in church. The traditional Unitarian Universalist joys and concerns had few people and short comments, so when I was up front I made an aside I was keeping the instrument warm; the ins...

They look delicious, full of umami.
