Creepy Robot with Smooth Moves

The song is really, really good and catchy, except that robot is a wee bit too creepy.

Yeah, I used to love his show(I think I still might). Aah, I feel the wave of nostalgia coming on.

*Umph* What on earth just fell on my head?

Recently (well, okay, two or three weeks ago) I borrowed a book called Extraordinary Events and Oddball Occurrences by Gary L Blackwood. As I was reading this book, I came across a very interesting chapter, called Skyfalls. I thought that since it’s a really spooky, weird and yet so fascinating subject, I’ll write about it (and to constitute the lack of informational posts).

A skyfall is just exactly what the Fortean event implies-something falling out of the sky. The falls can happen during bad stormy weather, or even on a perfectly sunny, cloudless day.

The vast type of object which have fallen from skyfalls an be anything from the strange to the even stranger, with alligators, apple, corn, snakes, stones, jellyfish, fish, frogs ad even candy.

The most common objects to fall in a skyfalls are fish and frogs. Fish falling from the sky is so frequent that it’s an annual event in a remote village in Honduras, where the villagers gather on a large, grassy plain at the beginning of the rain season, where tens of thousands of sardines fall to the ground. This event is called Lluvia de Peces

Other skyfalls include:

• In 1877, Memphis, Tennessee, thousands of foot long snakes fell from the sky.

• In 1867 Louisiana suffered from a skyfall of salt.

• In1880 Ozark, Arkansas and then six years later in Charleston, South Carolina and then also in 1921 in Chico, California, there had been reports of skyfalls of small rocks/stones.

• In 1940, Central Russia, there was a skyfall of silver coins.

• In 1976 banknotes fell in the streets of Limburg, Germany

• In 187, Lake County, California, there ha been two separate incidents of rock candy crystal showers.

• In 1939 Angola, Africa, a country which was suffering in a drought with the locals in nearstartvation, there had been a skyfall for a couple of days. It had be a sweet, sticky substance, which was actually honey.

• In 1876, the residents of Kentucky suffered from a skyfall of small flakes, which looked a lot like meat. One opinion on the skyfall was that he flakes weren’t meat but nostoc, a kind of freshwater algae. B after examination by doctors using microscopes, the flakes were identified as lung tissue from humans or horses.(Ewww)

•For nearly a century, a town in India experiences an occasonal downpour of smal blue-green beads, with cmall holes for threading.

Some of the theories on where do the objects which fall in skyfalls appear from are quite strange, such as the fact that ‘objects could conceivable drop in from some parallel universe, through electromagnetic “channels”(proposed by Damon Knight, an author of a biography on Charles Fort) Or a similar theory which states a fault or wormhole may have opened up between dimensions, allowing things through. (This is based o modern physics).

A Fortean theory (proposed by Charles Fort himself) is that there is an unseen region above us called the Super-Sargasso Sea, where objects are held in suspension. He stated that ‘periodic violet storms shake some of the accumulation loose’, thus the skyfall. Another hypothesis by Mr. Fort is that object might have been transported from one place on earth to another, in other words meaning teleportation(Cue Dr Who, Harry Potter, etc…music now).

Finally, there is another much more logical yet not so comprehensible premise that tornadoes suck up the objects which fall in skyfalls.

Photoshop-The New IT Thing

Here are some of my photoshop feats(hoorah!). I encourage anyone who has photoshopped anything and would like to display their work to do so. It feels very...manipulative.
