What do you think it was? Could it really be a ghost, or is it something more earthly like a bug? Maybe it's a hoax... what's your opinion?


This "sighting" was a bit interesting. However, I think it was something more than a ghost or whatever. I have never heard of anyone seeing a "blue" ghost. :wink:

The news reports today were saying that Michael Vick had voluntarily went to prison early on the charges related to the dog fighting incident. I don't think anyone has ever done that (voluntarily gone to prison early). I wonder if that will go in his favor somehow? Atleast, it will speed his time served, I suppose.

This is very sad in a way.

If he wants to serve his time and get it over with, that certainly won't hurt him. I don't find anything sad about it, though. He did the crime, and a particularly nasty one at that.

Agree on your points regarding Vick, Thoul. :yes:

What I really meant about it being sad was that it is sad that such a respected and looked up to football "hero" has fallen like this that he now finds himself in jail and may have lost his status in the football world and the world in general because of a disasterous mistake he made. Just another reason that we should really choose our "heroes" wisely, I suppose. :(

Oh well, onward and upward, I guess lol, to the current news of the day - which is the big MidEast Peace Summit taking place in the US today with lots of the leaders of the middle east countries here. Maybe Bush & Tony Blair (who is there because of his new job as Mid-East envoy, I think) can help to bring these people together in a peaceful way instead of all the fighting and turmoil usually in their countries. What do you think - will there ever be peace in the mid-east, or anywhere else in the world for that matter?

If i was in charge there'd be peace...OR ELSE!!! *holds up fist* XD I doubt anything can be done. I don't think the US should have anything to do with that side of the world.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Personally, I think the US is a bit nosy when it comes to the affairs and conflicts of other countries. What are we, the world police? :p

I hope for peace, but I never expect it to actually come. The world is too divided and filled with too much conflict for that to ever happen.

As for the US, it's true that the government does like to meddle in the affairs of others and probably more than they should. But look what happens when the US stays to itself - Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and various other tragedies. I'd rather have the US government sticking it's nose in if it can prevent such situations from happening.
