No spiderpigs? Oh wait that's spidergoats. I keep getting those evil scientist DNA experments all mixed up.

Hey-oh. Jellyfish pigs are awesome though.

Holy crap!.....Alex Jones was right? So we really do have Manziees in a lab in Latin America too?!!!!!

Guess that answers the question of what a spider-goat would look like.
I'm pretty disappointed.....

I think he's talking about the mythical Pontius Pilate, Octavian, Herod, and people like that. The Roman Empire also was a myth.

Sorry this thread for grown ups only !

This thread has degenerated into lepricorns, ghost, zombies and all these nonsense. As far as I understand, they have little to do with religion. Perfectly atheist people would often believe in such nonsense while many Christians would not... It would be interesting if anyone has a data on statistical correlation between believing in God and believing in ghosts

I have seen the negative correlation between intelligence and believing in god(s) before. Though I can't source it. And someone else here on CC brought it up before too.
But I would bet dollars to donuts that there is also a negative between believing in Ghosts and having sharp intelligence.

I for one do not believe in ghosts. But for some reason I do love the show Ghost Hunters!

This thread is epic

It did have Spidergoats...

Yet I'm still disappointed . I expected a 3 foot tall spider with hoaves.

Oh Tzor, where can you be?

Ah, good times.

It was a Columbian study and highly biased.. sort of along the lines of if predominantly white males with predominantly linear thinking mindsets set up the IQ tests, white males/linear thinkers seem to do better ( big surprise!).

Of course, inanity is funny no matter your beliefs. (well .... maybe not if you are the object )

Earth is a myth ... or I think that's what Tom Cruise asserts ???

(or maybe its just all in our minds? )

It's always twelve hours of them running around in the dark getting "creepy feelings" everywhere.
Then they sift through 12 hours of footage from 10 different cameras only to learn that sometime in the night a lamp moved 3 centimeters! Scary!

Sounds a little like a mafia game to me.
