'Marshmallow' Skull

Thu, 16 May 2013 20:05:10 -0800

While camping, my friend and his daughter had left chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers on a table in their locked camper to make s'mores later that day.

During their hunt that morning, they discovered this strange skull. It gave them both the willies and he took a photo of it with his smart phone and noticed it had a rather strange looking glow around the skull in the picture they just took.

When they returned back to camp, they discovered that the marshmallows had disappeared and nothing else was missing, although the camper was still locked, and the chocolate and graham crackers were exactly where the had left them. They searched the camper and were unable to find the marshmallows. Thus, the name of this strange find, 'marshmallow skull'

I was just out walking on March 6, 2013, in Montebello, California. I thought this "Rockstar" street signal was an interesting departure from the norm. I have listened to your show for over 20 years and it continues to impress me. Keep up the great work.

Oklahoma's Blue Whale

While driving along Route 66, I stopped at the Blue Whale in Oklahoma. When we got home and looked at the photos, we noticed something in the Whales mouth! It is just the porthole and the ground beyond ... but sure gave us pause!

The Tame Fly

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:37:54 -0800

My fiancé and I were shopping in a mall in suburban Dallas, when this housefly flew to me and landed on my finger. At first I thought it was injured, but it crawled effortlessly, and after 15 minutes of walking with me through the mall, flew away. I’ve never experienced this and can’t come up with an explanation only to say for sure it was not injured! Has anyone ever encountered a tame fly?
