Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve) was once the Eve of Samahin, named for the Aryan Lord of Death, Samana, and the Grim Reaper.

The fracture of space and time when the seasons changed was supposed to allow contact between the worlds of the dead and the living.

The dead might reappear and the living disappears. The tawdry trappings of plastic skeletons and witches' hats are a continuation of this solemn festival. It was customary to practice divination, reading the future with witches' mirrors and nutshell ashes.

Girls might see their future husbands by peeling an apple before a mirror.

All of these are true facts!

Oh! And let this be a lesson to you!

FDA Approves Implantable Chip Sales In Humans …
A SURPRISE decision by the Food and Drug Administration permits the use of implantable ID chips in humans, despite an FDA investigator's recent public reservations about the devices. The FDA sent chip manufacturer Applied Digital Solutions a letter stating that the agency would not regulate the VeriChip if it was used for "security, financial and personal identification or safety applications," ADS said Tuesday. Hmmm .. They are trying to take vitamins off the shelf in the USA .. The FDA is claiming they are dangerous to humans.

Chips are safe?

Vitamins are unsafe?

“Man Boobs” may be caused by milk and dairy consumption. Each sip of milk contains estrogen and progesterone, hormones that offer feminizing influences to those who drink body fluids from lactating bovines. Cows are milked before they birth calves. The pre-birth milk sends signals to mammary tissues of cows, instructing their milk-secreting glands to grow.

A new planet that breaks all the rules about how and where planets form has been identified in orbit of a twin star about 70 light years from Earth in a constellation commonly known as the Northern Cross. The new planet has a roller coaster like orbit that swoops down close to its central star and then swings far out into frigid fringes, following a strange egg-shaped orbit that is unlike that of any other known planet.

Peace Out

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F Kennedy was elected President in 1960

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.'

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker.
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Ohhh! And here’s some basic good tips, especially useful if you start hearing spooky music.

• If you find that your house is built on or near a cemetery that was once a church that was used for black masses, had previous inhabitants who went mad, committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed necrophilia or satanic practices, move away immediately.
• Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
• Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
• As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
• If you find a town which looks deserted, it is probably deserted for a damn good reason. Take the hint and stay away.
• Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you are doing.
• Do not keep all your sharpened kitchen knives in one of those wooden block thingies on your work surface.
• If the house you're living in tells you to "GO AWAY," do so immediately.
• If you find something that appears to be alive that you cannot identify, don't pick it up or touch it, with anything
• Never take a bath or shower with a monster/maniac/spirit/demon/creature/alien in the house.
• If you've hidden from the monster/maniac/spirit/demon/creature/alien and you are not found, do not peek from or decide it's safe to leave your hiding place. If you do decide to leave, scan the ground for twigs before you take a step.
• Never believe that your companion has truly become "dispossessed."
• It is very, very dangerous to back into, or through, rooms.
• If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they do not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. (Note: It will probably take several rounds of gunfire to incapacitate them, so be prepared.)
• When you have the benefit of numbers, never, ever, pair off, or go in alone. The more people the monster/maniac/spirit/demon/creature/alien is distracted by, the better "your" chance of escape.
• Never get into a car without first checking the back seat for occupants.
• If demons begin possessing your companions, it's a good idea to leave the area as soon, and as quickly, as possible.
• If you've just finished running over the monster/maniac/spirit/demon/creature/alien in your car, keep going. Most certainly do not get out of the car under any circumstances to see if he/she/it is "really" dead.
• Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, etc.
• If someone is in the water and starts screaming and is pulled under, don't go after them or peek over the edge of the shore "to see what's wrong." If you are in a boat, head for shore.
• Do not accept/take anything from the dead.
• If priests won't or can't enter your home, start looking for a new home.
• If your spaceship gets an alien distress signal from what appears to be a dead planet, don't stop to check it out.
• Never put your back to or lean on a door.
• If supernatural beings start calling your name, leave the area immediately.
• Never pick up a hitchhiker or stop to aid a suspicious person, especially if he/she/it resembles Santa Claus or Satan.
• If your companions exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, biting, a thirst for blood, howling, glowing eyes, unnatural hairiness, marked resemblance to demons, excretion of ectoplasm or other forms of gelatinous goo, flaming appendages, extra appendages, etc., get as far away from them as possible..
• Never take the dare to spend a night in a haunted house.
• If, when entering your craft, you put your hand in a kind of sticky/slimy/resinous kind of substance that was not there before, turn and run away immediately.
• If you are in the Arctic and find an alien frozen in ice, don't touch it, don't thaw it out, leave it alone. The alien should be incinerated with thermite (or preferably a thermonuclear weapon), otherwise if it thaws out, it will kill you and every living thing on Earth.
• If you are alone in a house and something calls your name, leave the house immediately through whatever exit is in the opposite direction. If there is no exit, make one.
