I’ve watched a few episodes of brad meltzer’s decoded and while the format of the show is pretty stupid the stories they highlight are pretty cool (or pretty stupid considering the statue of liberty episode)
tonight they profiled D.B. Cooper the dude that yanked a ton of money from the FBI and got away with it. some think he turned himself into Kenny Christensen others think he died in the forest after jumping out of the plane but either way it’s unsolved. fun story
anybody else have any conspiracies or unsolved cases they like or are interested in?
Late,

I’ve got this totally rad box set of Unsolved Mysteries DVDs. DB Cooper was in there too! Here’s another one for you to chew on: This one time, in this place, some people totally saw some aliens. Or did they…?
Australia’s Port Arthur massacre is a very interesting one to get into. There’s a book, ‘Deadly Deception at Port Arthur’. The supposed gunman had an IQ of about 50 and had barely held a gun in his life.
With his rate of fire and ratio of kill shots to shots fired, the thesis of the book is that he achieved something which would only be possible by one of the worlds top military marksmen. Its been several years since i read about this one, but its defiantly one of the most compelling conspiracy theories, worth a look.
Also, the two moon theory is one that I like (make sure you’re sitting down for this one). Look in the sky, there’s the moon. Any time of the day or night, look up, its that motherfucking moon. Now… when the hell does the other side of the earth get to see it?!
Also, have you ever looked at a diagram of how tides work? Very telling… High tide occurs TO THE SAME DEGREE on each opposite side of the earth. Following the bogus single moon theory, tides should work as more of an egg shape around the earth, with the pointy bit pointing towards the single moon. If I had Microsoft Paint I could probably illustrate this a bit better, but I’m on a mac laptop with nothing on it so, sadly, you’ll need to use your imaginations.
The creepiest, most intriguing case I’ve ever read about is the Taman Shud Case. Man ends up dead on a beach. No one knows the cause of death, who he is, his birth and travel records are nil, the only thing that is identifiable is a piece of paper torn from a rare edition of a Persian poetry book with a cryptic code written on it. Uncommon physiognomy possessed by 1-2% of Caucasian population, linking him to another case. It is found out that 3 years earlier some dude ends up dead with the same book beside him. Only lead to previous case kills herself 13 days later. It gets better.
Here’s one I don’t get, why do fat ppl make fun of other fat ppl? The fat ppl who are talking shit act as if they were skinny. I knew this guy who was well over 300 lbs talking shit about my gf at the time bc she was fat. Well he also didn’t like her attitude but he still threw in the fact that she was fat. He weighed far more than she did. I know another guy who’s talked shit about fat ppl and he fucking looks like Cartman! Kinda acts like him too. I mean yes sometimes fat ppl are funny. I admit that I’ve laughed my ass off watching The Biggest Loser. I can’t really talk too much bc I once weighed 230 lbs but I still don’t understand why fat ppl make fun of their own kind as if they themselves were skinny
Also, you’re one to talk shit about fat people if you eat fast food.
One thing that annoys me is people who feel they are above fat people just because they were born with a fast metabolism.
Yeah I’ve seen all your beer guts. Well guess what, you’d be more fat if it wasn’t for genetics! So don’t be proud of yourselves you scum.
Hmm, way to bring in totally unrelated issues, Hoss. First off, I didn’t say I never eat fast food (I do) I just didn’t understand why the McRib keeps making a return when no one likes it or eats it. But I think your outrage just solved my mystery for me.
Your manatees must be ordering those McRibs by the truckload. Why else would you get so butthurt just because I mentioned that a sandwich sucked.
ALL my beer guts? Just how many do I have? I never claimed to be above fat people, just, uhhh, thinner. It’s funny that you try so hard to be edgy and against the grain, Voidhead. Rallying about how everyone else’s tastes are vanilla and whatnot and how proud of being special and unique or revolutionary you are.
But then you get all emo that we don’t all share your aesthetics.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is true. But, it is also true that most to the beholders in our culture be holdin’ that giant gelatinous creatures of goo and putting poop on your face is NOT attractive. I didn’t write the book on this, Bro. Blame society.
Maybe you can channel your frustration into another avante-garde industrial emo song.
