I can think of nothing better than when you the writer, Alan, can write so clearly that the theater of the mind permits me to become the subject! Real life stories that outstrip Indiana Jones. Well done Alan! Excellent writing! Very interesting indeed.

Especially if, say, anarchy develops and you want to keep your communications coded.

I wish McDonalds would hurry the hell up and realise this! Marius: I wonder at what point does a company realize that their product is so universal that advertising is no longer needed?

Walked around the cemataries and churches and shot alot of photos and video.Kinda sad driving out thru Manahoy city,must be alot of job loss and dispair,seems some of the older row home are literally falling over from age and or disrepair.The vacant old coal yard and hooppers also made for nice photo and video.

]]> Comment on Apocalypse on the Set by Relic http://www.damninteresting.com/apocalypse-on-the-set/#comment-27071 Relic Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:49:52 +0000 http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=3262#comment-27071 I LOVE THIS SITE! I found it a bit late but the back log is huge full of incredibly interesting stories, mysteries, and sciences. The range of subjects is so diverse I'm not sure how one could get bored with it... I'm go'n through some transitions in life, but once everything settles down, I wouldn't mind attempting to try and write some stories if I was deemed worthy, since if I'm debating the mysteries with my friends why not here?! Some really interesting ideas I had were Somerton Man, The Russian mountain accident with a whole expedition dead, and some other accounts where either the supernatural or legit science can explain what happened but since we don't know, one explanation is not closer to the truth than the other. Admittedly, while Occam's Razor is more convenient it is NOT more right, which is the joy of speculation. What a site! Can't wait to see updates. I LOVE THIS SITE!
