Cryptozoology and Cosmology

[jarandhel]

*giggles softly* I have to post these, just to blow everyone's minds. :)

First, specifically for those who have made mention of mythical creatures being seen more often recently, there is apparently a centaur terrorizing women in Nigeria: http://www.disinfo.com/site/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=147&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

This story is apparently independently verified at http://allafrica.com/stories/200305210238.html however it is on a page which requires a subscription to view.

Second, for Aine and anyone else interested in the Holographic Universe model, there's a recent article in Scientific America supporting that theory due to evidence from the study of the properties of black holes:

Interesting...most interesting.

Supposedly one of the river dragons of China (which they are describing as being Nessie-esque) is making an appearance, too...Associated Press actually carried that fairly widely, and supposedly a team is there investigating...more on that as it happens.

Personally, I think that the river dragon is slightly more intelligent than the scientists. I wish 'em luck, especially if River Dragon doesn't *want* to be investigated :)

...and oddly, I was talking with Kaijima recently, he had some interesting things he's found out re how there are apparently some advances in what people would normally term as "magickal" phenomena, specifically stuff like teleportation and the like (only of non-moving things, though, not sentients)...I'm gonna bug him to send me the links on this so I can post 'em up :)
