All right....

So, I guess i'm gonna start putting some stuff up in this here computers digital guts. Well in all truth it would be the internets digital guts, but you get the picture (hopefully not).

I guess to start out I'll just post a few of the more interesting things I've found recently.



1.Number stations

This is some creepy ass, post apocalypse, possibly cold war (if not current) era spy type shit.

If anyone is familiar with lost they'll recognize the basic idea at least right away. For those who don't know,let me explain.

The whole "thing" with number stations is this. They are signals that are picked up on short wave radio. They consist of voices reading off numbers, words, and letters. Some in english, some in german, russian, so on and so forth. It's been speculated that they were used for spys to recieve encoded messages for their next mission (as seen in Red Dawn "the door is against the wall" "john has a long moustache").

To me there is just such a creepy destitude and loneliness to them. I don't know exactly why I feel that way. Maybe it's the sound of the static in the back ground, maybe it's the idea of someone having to rely on these for what to do next in their "mission". It also reminds me of the movie "Prince of Darkness".For those of you who haven't seen it (why the fuck not?), throughout the movie all the characters share a dream. The dream consists of a figure in a doorway, backlit, moving their arms as if to embrace them, while the phrase "we are transmitting this from the year 1-9-9..." plays each time. DJ Shadow sampled it for Entroducing (which is something else that you should all listen to if you haven't yet). My recomendation is not to listen to any of these at two in the morning as I did the first time...



2.The 2006 O'Hare International airport sighting

(if this doesn't work for some reason, just copy and paste it)


This one shocked me that I didn't hear any more about it. Long story short, UFO seen over O'hare airport. Tons of people see it, pictures are taken, airport claims its a weather phenomenon. Theres a video somewhere of a newscaster for the area talking about it before, and in-between taping. The thing that gets to me is, you can tell he never even believed in any of this shit till now. His mannerisms are just so much like a child who has been introduced to a new concept, and he finds himself completely enthralled by it. Interesting stuff...



3.The Bloop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop



Another weird one. Apparently the "bloop" is an ultra low frequency, underwater sound detected by the U.S National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 1997. It apparently matches the audio profile of a living creature, there is no known creature large enough to produce this sound. Larger than a blue whale is what we're talking about.

Here's where it gets kinda creepy. The location of it is said to be where R'lyeh is located. What's that you might ask? Why it's just the location of the sunken city of the same name in Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu". The squid headed elder god of the outer dark lives! And he's coming to drive us mad with hellish visions and non-Euclidean shapes that spit upon our known world....



Just a few things to keep you entertained.....
