There are strange things going on in this world my friends. One thing that just came to my attention was a law that was just passed in China banning strippers from performing at funerals. I couldn't figure this one out, so I looked into it a little deeper and found that having strippers perform at funerals, in at least one area of China, was not that uncommon. The people in that area felt that it attracted more people to the funeral and that the more you had, the more honored the dead person was. Hey maybe they weren't there to see him!

Orbs are things that sometimes show themselves on pictures taken of graveyards, or so called haunted places. Some people feel that these are balls of energy while others think that they are caused by some complexity in a digital camera system or reflections off of pieces of dust and pollen. Indeed, the types of places that they usually show up in are usually dusty or pollen laden. There is a new twist on orbs, one person claims to have had some interaction with an orb. This is the first time to my knowledge that anyone has suggested that orbs cooperate with humans in any manner. Looking into this, I realized that there was something else that has been reported that looks just like an orb and that is what was commonly known in World War II as a Foo Fighter. Could our friend have encountered this type of ufo and mistaken it for an orb?

The fight goes on. Pluto was just classified as a non planet. This debate has been going on for years. No one really knows what makes a planet a planet or not a planet. They realize that if some solar body is not a star and sometimes has a moon orbiting it, it may be a planet, except when it is not. Does your head hurt yet, mine does? Anyway the fight is on again, this time to make Pluto a planet again. Hurry up kids and finish your astronomy test before the question that you answered about Pluto being a planet becomes wrong again.

This may be hard to believe, but there are a few people out there who are selling, what they claim to be, ufo debris. Come and get it hot off a ufo, debris. Yeah sure. This sort of reminds me of a friend that I have that told me he was going to a doctor that said to him that all the vitamins and supplements you buy are garbage, but the ones he sells for 4X and 5X the usual price are great. How could anyone document the fact that they had a piece of a crashed ufo or had pieces that had fallen off? I can see it now, hey fella, how come this piece of debris says made in Japan on the back? Wait a second, wrong piece, take a different one.

London is hosting a gala event. It is the Dance of the Dammed. It will be held at the Vampires Ball in the Clink Prison Museum on 9 September 2006 and anyone can get a ticket for only 18 pounds. It will have live music from The Voices Of Masada and Adastreia. I can't understand why anyone would want to miss this, can you?

Some people claim to have seen ghosts or spirits but in 2004 there was a sighting that was different. A courthouse in Ukiah, which is located in California was the site for a ghostly haunting. This was not your ordinary haunting however. Janitors in the building had seen ghosts there for quite some time, but no one ever believed them. All this changed when, on one haunted night, the newly installed motion detectors picked up the ghostly movements and sent out an alarm. What had the sensors pick up exactly? It was a heavy mist that was floating through the building. Could it have been the spirits of the deceased prisoners who were sentenced in this courthouse? An execution, the only one ever in this courthouse, had occurred on the roof, maybe this was their spirit come back from the dead?

Cows can be dangerous, as the crew of one Japanese Trawler found out. Here they were minding their own business, fishing in the Sea of Japan when, out of nowhere, a cow fell out of the sky with such force that the fishing trawler broke in two and sunk. Authorities didn't believe this story and threw the crew in jail, where they remained for several weeks until the Russian government admitted that the crew of a Russian cargo plane had stolen a cow and taken off with it. It seems that the cow was very upset and got so riled that they became afraid for their plane and threw the cow out of the cargo hold when they were at 30,000 feet.

There is a company out there selling guns. Why is this so unusual? Well, I guess that one reason is that the guns are not harmful to humans. These are guns designed to kill flies and mosquitoes. One of the ads touts, "Become a hunter in your own home". If you intend to buy one of these "firearms" I suggest that you brush up on your target practice, those tiny fruit flies are really hard to hit.

A girl decided to fly from Malta to Bulgaria. She fell asleep on the plane, as many of us do and when she woke up she was still in Malta, or was she? It seems that the plane flew to Bulgaria and no one bothered to wake her and later returned to Malta with the sleeping girl still on board. Hey, you just have to wonder with all these security measures in place how something like this could happen. I though it very strange when my friend fell asleep on the Long Island Railroad and traveled from Long Island to New York City right past his stop, got on a train going back and fell asleep again, and again traveled past his stop to his home in Long Island. Well third time lucky, he travel back to his stop and arrived at work some three and one half hours late. Not one conductor woke him to check his ticket.

There are strange things happening out there folks and these were only a few strange events. One could publish a book with this stuff.
