About
This is an abecedary of things I think people should be skeptical about. I made a rule for myself that I couldn’t write anything- whatever I’m trying to say has to be expressed using images only. However, if you click on or mouse over an image you can see the title I’ve given it, which will give you an idea of what I think. Many of the images are links to Wikipedia, youtube, or whatnot. All of the posts have links embedded somewhere within, so click away.
I started this blog with one thing in mind: to get my Men In Black photo on the internet. Now my goal is to post images as arguments. Skepticism is intellectually satisfying, and forces you to think critically. Alien visitors, MIBs, & cryptids are fun to think about, but take everything with a grain of salt, because there’s probably no such thing.
Hi there – do you have an email/phone number so I could contact you? I am a television producer looking for new talent to attach to a show. check out our website at http://www.twofourbroadcast.co.uk
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you
No, but thanks for asking.
Man, you dissed Rupert.
Anyway, I can see why your blog is popular. Telling stories through images is a tricky thing, and you’ve definitely got the knack.
Did I dis Rupert? My guess is that Rupert deserved it, but that is just a guess.
Anyway, I’m glad you like the blog. Clearly you are a woman of taste and discernment, and I think you should visit often.
About Rupert. I figured he was someone fishing or scamming, but I checked his links, looked his name up, etc. Rupert Dobson is a respected BAFTA-winning broadcaster for the BBC. I just didn’t have the nerve to say, “Yes, I’m your man. I want to go on Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old?” What could possibly go wrong?
I wanted to add this bit, because my earlier comment about Rupert deserving flack is wrong. It is a weird way of looking for new talent, though.
Tell him you changed your mind.
My favorite bizzare occurance is the Dyatlov Pass incident. Do you have anything on that? It’s “brrrr” worthy.
That’s the people that died while snow camping, right? If I go through the alphabet again, I promise to add that when I reach the letter D.
Dude – it’s a pretty standard way of finding talent nowadays, believe it or not. It was actually casting for a show where we were looking for a host, in your field – no probs if not interested! And all is forgiven as you used the phrase ‘well respected’ which I haven’t heard in a long time!!
Well hey, Rupert. Welcome back! I’m glad all is forgiven. You probably didn’t know it, but the ghost of Rupert Dobson is sometimes looking over my shoulder, making me think: am I being snarky? Why be snarky? So again, welcome back, and keep the talent rolling.
Where was the Man in Black photo taken?
I’m glad you asked. That’s Area 51, in Nevada. Or as my wife put it, “The road that leads to the area outside the area outside Area 51.”
I was wondering if I could use your photo of the Nasca monkey in a publication. Could you email and let me know if that would be permissible? It’s a great photo and is exactly what I am looking for.
Sorry for the delay in replying, been on vacation. I don’t have the right to give permission, I found the image on the internet. I don’t have any advice on how to find the owner of this image, but you might try Getty Images for a suitable version available for purchase.
yes you a samritan and you, the goolie man in one, its the normal is something, but you must move for something
