Not all those who wander are lost. - J.R.R. Tolkein

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is a society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more. - Lord Byron

Yeah, and to be really secure, we need to take away the people's rights for freedom of speech, press, the right to bear arms, freedom of privacy, and let's see, oh, the allowance to take anyone who disagrees worldwide into a small area who will strip them of their rights and torture them.

And what now with the "Water Crisis", or "Global Warming", or the constant changing "enemy" across the seas?

We can't trust the government to help us ban together, when they mean to keep us apart. We need to do it ourselves at the very least by word of mouth.

Two airplanes hit the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, 10, and an area in the Pentagon, where we know the research for Enron was being done? Building 10 was FBI's primary research headquarters, along with a section of the Pentagon conveniently placed at the cruise missile (er..plane crash) site. Wait, I'm sorry, debris flew across a large expanse and destroyed building 10, but wasn't there a fire? I'm confused.

And the airplanes were flown by terrorists, yeah. And those terrorists (many found alive and well years later) gave their lives for their religion and country to hurt us. So we should destroy as many of them as we can. We have to change their government because they won't let us have all rights to their resources, no wait. Uhh, they're bad. Yeah, that's it.

I thought I was the only one who saw these things happening. Isn't that the true issue, though?

Does everyone feel like, in the end, they are all alone? There is a growing selfishness on the planet. Being "American" used to be about fighting for freedoms from taxes and religion. Quite a few changes happened since, including the freedom to buy the biggest car possible, eat the largest, fattiest hamburger, and smoke and drink as much as we want. Yeah!!

The era we live in is self-satisfying, and any time we are pushed to think about anything but ourselves is a scheme to allow the rich to get richer, and poor poorer.

The "Energy Crisis" was something we all had to consider, and Enron Corp. made good and sure they lied to get so much money out of residents that it led to foreclosures because for no reason at all Enron decided to close down power generators to create demand. The FBI began researching this, and what happened?

I've always thought that if we had proof of ghosts existing, it would cause absolute chaos. But the same thing goes if we learned that there is absolutely no way for ghosts to exist. And, on a larger scale, I think the more we learn and discover about our universe, the closer we are getting to the end of the world. I feel like the more knowledge we gain, the worse it is for all of us. People like having the mystery in life, it gives us something to live for. I guess I believe that ignorance really is bliss.

As I'm eating a marshmallow just now, I'm wondering why a corn syrup puff is called that... Corn doesn't grow in the marsh, so fieldmallow would at least make geographical sense.

Hmm... I like this newsletter. Intresting topic. In my country, few month ago the price of chickens meat is getting higher and higher and many people protest about it. They decided to boycott againts it but later, I keep seeing people buying MORE chickens meat. To me it's weird, isn't it?
Anyway, that problem already solved but the price of flour is getting higher now. Sigh...

I really enjoyed your newsletter about oddities. I think about them a lot while writing. One I had recently was "You see many movies about people being turned into zombies by a chemical. What if that chemical was supposed to be a cure for cancer?"
Thank you for the newletter. It was great!

Fun to read your "oddities". I've sometimes wondered how each of us is still "me" when we wake up. What if I'm not me anymore when I wake up tomorrow? What if I forget how to type, or don't know my phone number?

Thanks for the newsletter on oddities. Actually, I've been researching for a story I'm planning to write on the apocolypse - so I've been reflecting on some pretty odd things myself. How can people, even believers, survive the catastrophies of Revelation? Plagues, the sun, moon and stars disappearing, the antichrist - good Lord! Then there's the rapture. What of that? It boggles my mind that one day, all believers will just be gone - no more! Goodness, all this end-time prophesy is mind boggling. Some say it's near. I just hope it doesn't come in my day. Gracious, even the end of the world is odd, mind-boggling, and confusing!

Great newsletter, I have thought about a lot of these sort of things, along with the old questions of 'if you unscrew you naval does your bum fall off' I suggest a good dose of qi (http://www.qi.com/) to any one into the odd.

As this is the first week receiving the various newsletters( I'm a new member),I think this is by far the most thought provoking one I've read yet. Who knows it may provide me with some story ideas. I hope that you and the other NL editors keep up the good work. Thanks

The universe is a mysterious place if you stop and think about it. But who does that? Thoughtful, curious people are rare treasures, like space rocks, and should be collected and studied.
