Ahhh Easter Candy…it comes but once a year and is always satisfying. I remember the Easter baskets I would get containing jelly beans, sugar eggs, chocolate bunnies, peeps and my all time favorite of Cadbury eggs. I would easily eat ten eggs in a sitting, however not so much anymore since I have to watch my sugar levels. I remember sitting there and cracking them open and thinking about how much they were like the earth. A hard surface and yet underneath it was a flowing liquid of magma and toxic gas. Ok not exactly like a Cadbury egg, but you get what I’m saying. Now for years and even through my geology classes I was led to believe that this was in fact true, yet I came to realize that apparently I must be wrong. I discovered a society, if you want to call it that, that believes the earth to be hollow. Apparently this was not a new age thinking either, in some readings I have found that even Hitler himself believe in the Hollow Earth theory and that a tribe Aryan Race people inhabited the center of the earth. Aryan people and the occult…yep sure sounds like a wacky Hitler scheme to me.

Now I know what you’re thinking, this sounds way to far out to believe, well that is where you are wrong. In fact Hitler did believe strongly that the earth was in fact hollow and that a race of Aryan people inhabited that. In fact to this very day there are quite a number of people who believe in the Hollow Earth theory and they actually know where the entrance to it is.

Here is a sketch of what they believe to be the true and accurate depiction of what the earth is formed of.

It basically is an earth within an earth with people living their lives on the earths shell with a sun and moon while the inside of the earth lived its life under the crust with the core of the earth acting as a sun. The exact location for the entrance of the earth is said to like at 87.8 degrees North and South Latitude which would make it right at the polar caps.

Now there are those who feel that the hollow earth holds more to this earth and its history than just the Aryan race. Some believe that the inside of the earth holds the greatest of biblical mysteries such as the original location of the garden of eden, the lost tribes of Israel or even heaven itself. So heaven is where hell would be? That’s a bit of a swerve in popular biblical understanding.

When it comes down to it is the earth hollow? Well yeah in a way it is, but not livable hallow. The earth is hollow and filled with molten magma and toxic gases, that’s where lava comes from when volcanoes explode or the tectonic plates crack open. If the earth were in fact hollow I’m pretty sure we would’ve figured it out by now. I leave it up to you to decide, but I am willing to bet you any amount of money that it’s not livable inside the earth, heck it’s barely livable on the outside of the earth.

Be safe and have a Cadbury egg on me,

When you think of the future do you think of flux capacitors? Do you think of hover boards? Do you think of Michael J Fox? No? Well then you must have been living under a rock and never saw the cinematic trilogy gem of the Back to the future series, and it was also a popular Saturday morning cartoon show. I am however getting off the real topic which is that of Mr. John Titor. Never heard of him, well you are not alone because while he may be known to only conspiracy theorists followers such as me, he is a bit infamous.

 John Titor was a man for the future or should I really say from the future as that is what the claim is. He got his name out there by posting on internet website forums between 2000 and 2001 with his drastic predictions of the impeding future. He claimed to be from the year 2036 and wanted to fill us in on what was about to happen to us and the world as a whole. He wanted to try and fix the past (our present) from becoming a chaotic mess that would soon occur.

Now if you take the time to read each and every one of his posts and then begin to examine them individually you will begin to see why people found holes in his story. However I will spare you the pain of doing just that because while I was aware his inconstancies I took the time to read the posts and I will admit that they are a good read especially if you know anything about time travel possibilities an you know you’re reading something that is made up.

One of the biggest things he states is that he came back in order to save the world from itself and N-Day which is when nuclear missiles passed in the sky as they destroyed targets in Russia, China, Europe and America destroying mot everything and the US needing to reform its capital in Omaha, Nebraska. Some have even said that this sounds like something straight from Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon. Could John Titor have been some fan of the book or could he have just been trying to stir things up because he was bored or could he have actually been from the future?

My vote is no to the whole entire time travel thing, do I think time travel is possible…anything is possible. Do I think we will be able to figure time travel out…doubt it highly, but I would love if we did. I think Mr. John Titor was a man who fantasized about the ending of the world and a new order of sorts. I think in his mind he was from the future, but this is what happens when you give internet access to people locked in mental asylums. To me John Titor was a flake and a talented flake at that because he sucked a lot of people into his claims as a time traveler even if they didn’t believe him, Why do I say he was a flake and not a genius for doing what he did, well mainly because he didn’t do anything after that. It wasn’t a promotional stunt of any type and nothing else has since come about it. The whole things reeks of hoax and scam, but I guess only John Titor knows the truth, or does he???

Mermaids have been such an iconic part of the crypto zoological world since man had a fascination with the sea. There are many tales of sailors seeing half fish and half male/female like creatures in their travels. Even in ancient mythology it talks about Neptune and his mer-people.

 What is the fascination with mermaids? Well it starts with the fact that people didn’t know the vast amount and types of fish there were in the sea. And some of these creatures could quite easily be confused with mermaids based upon quick glimpses and lack of knowledge.

However there are some famous mermaids out there and Im not talking about Madison from the movie Splash or Ariel the Little Mermaid from Dsiney. I am talking about two stories that have gripped the world with mermaid possibilities. The first one starts of many years ago and involved Mr. PT Barnum of the famous Barnum and Baileys Circus. He was a collector and most importantly a showman. He knew what could draw the people in and he knew what those people would pay money to see. One of his exhibits was the infamous Figi Mermaid as seen below.

 This is, at the time, took the world by storm. The fact that there was real evidence of a mermaid made all those sea stories become reality. Well it would have, had it not been completely fabricated by Mr. Barnum for the pure joy of satisfying people’s curiosity and for money. He eventually admitted years later after the newness of the exhibit wore off that he paid to have it made. It just showed though that even then mermaids were a draw.

The other story is a much more recent one. It was a video shot off the coast of Australia in which it showed a mermaid swimming away from the camera. Now I am big into scuba diving and if I came across this in real life I would’ve needed a new wetsuit I can assure you of that. However the video, which can easily be found on YouTube, is very easily to replicate. So the authenticity of such a video capture leads me to believe that it was in fact staged.

Are there creatures in the sea we have not yet found, abso-freakin-lutely. The ocean is one of the great mysteries of the world and because of its enormous depth and risk level we can’t explore much f it at a time. I feel someday we will better explore the ocean, but not without some serious technical ability.

Be safe and I wonder if mer-people taste like chicken or tuna,

There are many stories of monsters that roam the seven seas as told by the sailors who venture out in those waters. The tales of mega sharks, giant squid, mermaids and even temptress sirens of the sea that date all the way back to Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey. The sea is a vast amount of water and is not easily explored both on the surface and most especially below. Most of the world’s oceans have yet to be explored and identified and that’s just the surface if we go below then there might just in fact be those sea monsters of legend and lore. Now that makes total and complete sense for the oceans of the world, but what about lakes?

It seas that lakes go through the same amount of legend and lore in relation to sea monsters as the oceans do. Through out the world there are reports of many lake monsters. Some of these lake monsters are more famous than others, but they still all come down to the same thing, monsters in a lake.

Some of the most commonly known lake monsters are tow in particular one being the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland and then Champ located in Lake Champlain near New York. Loch Ness is truly the granddaddy of all lake monsters and thrives in tourism just from its legendary status. Now there have been expeditions of the lake to try and hunt down the elusive creature. If you look at all the experiments that have taken place to find the Loch Ness Monsters I think you would have to agree that the chances of us finding something in there is slim to none. Well through all the experiments they have found nothing, and people to this day are still spotting the great lake monster. Could all these people be lying or could their eyes be playing tricks on them? In a world where everyone wants that 15 minutes of fame I would venture to guess that a fair bit of them are lying and the rest have seen something that looked odd, but can easily be explained.

A lesser known lake monster is that located in Pennsylvania and is billed as Pas own loch ness monster. The lake is located in Raystown Pennsylvania and in the Raystown lake is said to exist a lake monster. Now being from PA I am particularly drawn to this because there haven’t been all that many sightings and they are all fairly recent. Now being the scuba diver that I am would love to venture into the lake and take a look for myself, but I highly doubt I would find anything.

The exploration of lake and the eco system that live within them should be a fairly easy task to accomplish. So long as there are no rivers or underwater lines to other bodies of water there should be no reason why we couldn’t drop a side-scan sonar, comb the lake and find these supposed monsters? One reason is because nobody wants to waste the time, effort and money on such an expedition because it is chasing a legend that doesn’t exist. Are there things living in lakes that people don’t know about? Sure there are and we find things everyday but if we can find the smallest of items in a lake then why wouldn’t we be able to find a giant lake monster? Do you think the lake monster is smarter than us and messing with us? If you do then I feel bad for you, there are no such things as lake monsters as for sea monsters I would be willing to believe that much more easily.

Be safe and don’t feed the lake monsters,
