I wonder if George Noory covered this on his Coast- to[ Coast AM show?
This program would have a field day with a story like this.

A Romanian lawyer is suing his local Orthodox bishop and four priests claiming they failed to properly exorcise flatulent demons that were forcing him out of his home.
Madalin Ciculescu, 34, accused the five of fraud after they turned up several times to exercise the demons which were responsible for the bad smells that were ruining his business.
He claimed that after the failed exorcism the demons even started haunting him at his home at Pitesti in Arges County in central Romania.

Romanian lawyer, Madalin Ciculescu, 34, is suing his local Orthodox bishop, Constantin Argatu, and four priests claiming they failed to properly exorcise flatulent demons that were forcing him out of his home
The case alleging 'religious malpractice' is reportedly the first time there has been such an allegation made in a Romanian court.
 
The four priests had all tried and failed to exorcise the demons, according to the legal papers that named bishop Constantin Argatu, even though he had not been to the property, as he was in charge of the priests who had been there.
The case has already been rejected by a lower court in Romania and was rejected again this week by the Romanian High Court, but now the businessmen says he plans to go to the European Court of Human Rights.

He told the court: 'If they (the accused) represent the way of God then God's ways are crooked. They did not remove the demons that made these bad smells as they promised to do, and I still see all sorts of demons in the form of animals, usually crows but also other such things, that are making my life miserable.
'When I am at home they switch the TV on and off all the time, they make foul smells that give me headaches and basically roam unhindered around my house and my business.'
The man produced his mother to back up his claim saying that even the hair-dryer was possessed and a black shadow came out of it when anyone tried to use it - and she also said the fridge was infested by the flatulent demons that she confirmed left foul smells about the property.
But the lawyer for the Archdiocese from Arges, Anton Alin, rejected the allegation of fraud saying that the exorcism had been properly carried out and they believed the allegations of further demons and more bad smells were simply a product of the man's imagination.
The Romanian court agreed with the church and rejected the application against Bishop Argatu as well as priests Ionut Cret Ovidiu, Gheorghe Nicut, Marius Dumitrescu and Gheorghe Dunitru - and ordered Ciculescu to pay legal costs.

Shows the difference between them and the U.S.  Here we just blame the family dog.

Which reminds me of the time the Queen was showing the Archbishop of Canterbury around the royal stables  One of the stallions close by farted so loudly it couldn't be ignored. "Oh dear," said the Queen, "How embarrassing. I'm frightfully sorry about that." "It's quite understandable," said the Archbishop, and after a moment, added, "as a matter of fact, I thought it was the horse."

Boy Inhales Blowgun Dart

Boy Inhales Blowgun Dart

A 15-year-old boy in Ohio required a visit to the emergency room after he inhaled a dart from a homemade blowgun, according to a new report of his case.

The dart lodged in the boy's airway after he inhaled deeply while holding the blowgun in his mouth. Blowguns are designed to allow darts to be propelled outward by the force of an exhaled breath. The gun mostly consists of a narrow tube.

When he arrived at the emergency room, the boy had already been coughing for three hours. Although the boy said he had just been playing with his siblings — with no mention of the blowgun — X-rays of his airway revealed the dart. After further questioning, the boy admitted to using the blowgun.

The case highlights the potential dangers of blowguns for teens, especially when the blowguns are made by using instructions on the Internet, which the boy had done. Most websites that provide instructions regarding how to make blowguns do not adequately warn about the guns' risks, the researchers said. [See 9 Weird Ways Kids Can Get Hurt].

"It's really a setup for foreign body aspiration," study researcher Dr. Kris Jatana, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said of blowgun use by teens. (Aspiration means inhaling a foreign material.)

When a child inhales deeply (to produce a forceful breath to propel the dart forward), their vocal chords open fully, which makes it easier for objects to enter their airway, Jatana said.

The boy underwent a nonsurgical procedure  in which a tube is inserted down the throat to view objects in the airway, and the dart was removed. Despite inhaling a sharp object, the boy was not harmed by the ordeal, according to the case report.

Over the next three months, the doctors saw two more cases of teen boys (ages 14 and 15) who inhaled darts from homemade blowguns. In both cases, the darts were removed without complications.

But the three boys were all very fortunate not to have any serious complications, Jatana told LiveScience. Anytime an object is inhaled and trapped in the airway, it can be a life-threatening problem, he said. A dart could puncture a hole in the airway or lungs, or injure the voice box.

Because of their risks, blowguns should probably not be used by children or teens, Jatana said.

With the Internet providing easy access to blowgun instructions, such cases may become more common in the future, the researchers said.

As shown in this case, teens do not always tell the truth, which can complicate receiving a correct diagnosis. If a teen boy comes to the emergency room with vague respiratory symptoms, doctors should be suspicious that he may have inhaled something, the doctors wrote in their report. Symptoms of aspiration include difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing and spitting up or coughing blood.

The report is published in the July 22 issue of the journal Pediatrics.

Sorry folks, but this is just so cool!

A Town Crier in official garb announces It's a Prince!

ROYAL BABY: Raw Royal Crier Announces Birth to Cheers


a boy.

"On this day the 22 of July in the year 2013, we welcome ... a future king.
"The first born of their royal highness the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
"The Third in line to the throne.
"May he be long-lived happy and glorious and one day reign over us.
"God Save the Queen."



Oyez! Oyez!

The world had been waiting for months for the arrival of the latest baby royale, but as prepared as folks were for the proclamation, the appearance of royal crier Tony Appleton was at once jaw-dropping and splendid.

That jacket. His bellow. The bell. And that marvelous tricorn hat with the electric-blue and pink feathers.

Whence did he come? Well, like all good town criers, 76-year-old Appleton has a website, where he reveals himself to be the Lord of the Manor of Great Baddow. Not surprisingly, the man given the job to herald the coming of His Royal Prince Highness the Prince of Cambridge not only is the president of the Guild of International Millennium Town Criers but also has been named Town Crier of the Year.

Before the crowds gathered for the royal baby in persona and virtually, Appleton's biggest audience may have been the 240 million who tuned into the 2011 New Years Day Parade in England. While Appleton has done many jobs big and small, his position is one that goes back centuries, to ancient Greek and Roman empires. The town criers served as the original public relations arm for the king, and harming them could get one charged with treason.

As for that ensemble, his website history notes that those fabulous uniforms date back to the 17th century:

    The Town Crier's robes are similar to those of the mayor, and uniforms are usually designed, incorporating the colours of the Crier's town.
    The ceremonial tricorne is adorned with curling feathers, a traditional representation of the quills used by earlier town criers to write their proclamations.
    Announcements are always preceded by the traditional "Oyez Oyez Oyez" (which is "listen" in French) and conclude with "God save the Queen."

The seasoned vet may also be prescient: Appleton told Seven Network he knew the offspring would be a boy. Sure, the odds were 50-50, but he got to shout it to the rooftops. Beat that, Twitter. Wait — the royal crier is on Twitter.

A few have been enraptured by the way Appleton encapsulates the pomp and circumstance. "It might have been the royal baby who was born today, but the limelight was stolen by the town crier," crowed the Quartz.

The New York Daily News begged indulgence of their readers: "Please allow us this brief fascination with the ceremonial town crier who clanged a bell and in booming voice officially announced the arrival of the royal baby. ... First we were beguiled by the idea that "town crier" might still be some sort of royal post, a holdover from a forgotten time before mass communication. Now we are equally excited to learn that Tony is available for all manner of commoner events. Book him while you can. We predict Tony Appleton is about to blow up."

The Washington Post couldn't resist a picture of the town crier toasting with a massive goblet. Neither can we. Except tha'ts not a goblet--that's his bell . . .



That is so cool.   I'm almost ready for a change in careers!

My question is, "How can they be so sure it is human?!"!  Sure it may match human DNA but unless you have a sample of alien DNA how do you have anything to compare it to?!  Maybe alien DNA matches human DNA?!  Did these scientists just give away the secret that they have access to alien DNA?!

Its more than likely Nephilim.   While usually thought of as meaning "giant", the true definition of nephilim is "fallen".  Though the majority of nephilim entities were indeed giants, some were no doubt dwarves.  Angelic DNA is probably very close to human DNA and of course being half human anyway, it's DNA went undistinguished from full human.

Interesting hypothesis.  Have you any evidence to back it up? 
The human genome has been mapped 100% and the only genetic difference between a human and a chimpanzee is about 2%, I would think that any non-human DNA would stand out pretty obviously. 
What exactly is the origin of "Nephilim?"  Where did they come from?
As I recall, the only "evidence" of their existance comes from The Old Testament--and that is it. Chile, where this thing was found was certainly not mentioned in the OT.  Have actual, verifiable human/non-human crossbred creatures been found?

There are more prosaic explanations for what was found in Chile. 
It is highly likely that the alien--or whatever--is fully human.  As in an aborted human foetus dumped in the desert and mummified by the dry conditions.

Now, one must also wonder why someone is using this little dead guy in a "documentary" about space aliens.  Looks like much of the whole deal was a scam.
It seems part of the director, Steven Greer's plans to obtain funding for the development of a free energy machine supposedly based on "government suppressed" knowledge obtained from space alien sources.
He is creating a back story to lend creedence to his alien energy generation scam.

Here in Brasil riots ended after pope's visiting all the slums and ghettos, but the bus taxes are raising another kind of civil war in some states and big cities.
Not sure about civil war, I hope not but the sadly true is that Brasil is one of the most corruptive and stupid country with stupid people, even being brazilian I can say this.
And the flash news is: it's snowing in 120 cities. Why is it news? Because we never had snow here, never!
Snowing is so cool!

Netflix US removes Star Trek III due to missing Vulcan and Klingon dialogue
The online streaming service says it will solve the problem in a week. How hard can it be, right?

Netflix US is to remove Star Trek III: The Search For Spock from its film listings until it is able to provide authentic subtitles for the Vulcan and Klingon diagloue.

The on-demand service thinks it can do the tranlsation work in about a week – and credit to them for trying. It seems most DVDs have simply injected a lot of English dubbing to overcome the problem, hiding behind the suggestion that people don't like subtitles.

This is not a popular choice among fans – particularly those who've actually learnt the language (Netflix could do with finding these guys).

But learning to speak Klingon and Vulcan in a week? That's a tough challenge.

Netflix could do worse than getting hold of a copy of Marc Okrand's Klingon Dictionary, first published in 1984, and there are various online Vulcan dictionaries out there too.

From a little bit of Googling we've found that 'kal-toh' (sometimes Kal-tow) is a Vulcan form of chess and 'kreyla' means Vulcan biscuits.

Klingon – well that's a whole other kettle of fish – 'yIDoghQo' means 'don't be silly', while 'Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam' means 'today is a good day to die'.

Yes, we'd need more than a week.

Would those be "biscuits" like the ones served with American breakfasts, or the ones that are commonly served with English teas - and which Americans would call "cookies"?

Accuracy above all.  We'd better get this translation right the first time.  The studio probably won't be want to have to spend money on another "revised" edition later.
