5.1 The
Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
Strike up the band! Paint those banners and get prepared
to march up and down the Mall for WHAT?
The authors of this site believe that humans are bad for the Earth and
should be systematically eliminated. While the reasons and the idea have
may have merit, the solution seems a little absurd to my eyes. Human population
must be reduced one way or another but all population, I don't know everyone?
...seems kinda.... final doesn't it?!
5.2 Who
Would Buy That?
This comes under the heading of "wow, someone sure
has too much time on their hands!" Here are
on-line auction oddities from around the Internet on somone's weblog.
Today's goody is a Barby doll dressed up as a nun compleate with wooden
cross and rosery. Past strange things include a digital camera thathad
been run over by a truck.
5.3 Crop
Circle Research.com, Scientific Research into unexplained Phenomena.
"Crop circles are one of the most profound and
mysterious phenomena of the modern age." What,
not Quantum Physics? The authors of this page seem to think that all crop
circles represent some sort of strange communication with Aliens or other
such exotic entities unless proven otherwise. Pretty scientific hm? Is
it just me? If I travailed millions of miles to some other inhabited planet,
would I run around tromping some poor farmer's wheat field to communicate?
Hell no! Good thing those aliens have more imagination than I have!
5.4 The Nibiruan
Council, Serving the Worlds of the Galactic Federation
Aw sheese! Here's another one! This seems to be some sort
of religion organization in
the shape
of a really bad science fiction plot. I guess if you have a story that
is unpublishable - making a religion out of it is the next best thing.
Come to think of it, you can make LOTS more money in the religion biz....now
where have I heard that before?
5.5 Losers.org,
Losers on the Internet.
OK,
so this isn't metaphysical. It's cool nevertheless! I want to get on!
Somone submit me!
5.6 META
TECH
This
is a sort of clearing house for pro- conspiracy nuts who just happen to
be able to write.
5.7 Prep 2003
Yes kids! Planet X, you know! That place Duck Dodgers
in the 25th 1/2 century traveled to...... Mark
Hazlewood begs to differ in his book BLINDSIDED Planet X Passes In 2003
EARTHCHANGES! Full of harrowing accounts of massive earthquakes, fires,
tidal wave and how YOU can survive this coming calamity. The usual stuff.
Better hurry though! With 90% of the population gone and the entire planet's
finical and governmental infrastructure in the trash heap, he really needs
you to buy his book TODAY so he can enjoy the royalties. You can simply
toss the book in your trash heap after 2003, I doubt that this will be
a collector item...then again!
5.8 Snopes.com
Urban Legends Reference Pages
Wow, what a cool idea. Urban legends from all over the
place, researched and explaned. Want to  know
if the tale of the "hooded claw" is for real? How about all
of those emails you received today that read "Forward this to all
your freinds...THIS IS NOT A JOKE!" Snopes.com gets to the bottom
of these things in an accurate and no nonsense way. Makes for some fun
reading!
5.9 ANCIENT
AMERICAN; Archeology of the Americas before Columbus
This is mostly just a magazine home page which displays
samples from Ancient America  magazine.
Rather ordinary sounding, until you look at the content. Apparently anyone
with ravings about Atlantis or pre Colombian Christianity in the New World
can publish their "facts" here regardless of the so called "fashionable
beliefs" in archaeology. Like say that you actually have to back
up your assertions and that sort of thing. If you have an interest in
conventional archaeology, the kind where people dig up remains of dead
communities and try to piece together who they were then you will probably
get a good laugh from this. If you believe that GREAT SECRETS of lost
and exotic civilizations have been hidden by the evil archeological community
then this will be an informative and topical publication.
5.10 SAUCER
SMEAR; OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE SAUCER & UNEXPLAINED CELESTIAL
EVENTS RESEARCH SOCIETY
OK, this is a funny one. The "Smear" has been
around under various names since 1954. The editor,
Jim Moseley offers a no holds barred account on the state of UFOology.
Gossipy, full of riy humor. Summed up by Author John Keel -"You are...
a boil on the ass of ufology". Heck with an endorsement like that,
he can't be all bad!
5.11 Church
of the Subgenius
Damm! How did I forget this one! The Church of the Subgenuis
has been around for quite some time. How can I describe it? "If you
are looking for an inherently bogus religion that will condone superior
degeneracy and tell you that you are "above" everyone else --
" say... well only part of it. The Church of the Subgenius is a sort
of concocted cocktail of rather odd pseudo religion and 1950s era marketing.
SO - do not fear the "STARK FIST of REMOVAL",
"SLACK OFF" and be a "MASTER OF THE STOOGLEY ARTS"
and always , believe in BOB! - cowabunga dude!
5.12 Photographic
Phenomena
This is a fairly lame site which makes the following proposal.
If you take photos, and send them through
all sorts of strange filters you get, strange filter effects right? NO!
You get PROOF of ghostly and otherworldly forces! Sinister energy fields
and Orbs (tm) which may be hovering over your head RIGHT NOW!!! (Sheeze!)
5.13 World Action
Jest your run of the mill - mondo repository of weirdo
paranoid claptrap. HEY give this guy a break
willya!? The microwaves are just KILLING him!
5.14 Ordo TemOrdo
Templi Orientis U.S. Grand Lodge
Am I the only one to get creeped out by this sort of stuff?
Ordo Templi Orientis aint the Templars'!
Their words; "an Outer Thalamic (sic) Order which is dedicated to
the high purpose of securing the Liberty of the Individual and his or
her advancement in Light, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, and Power
through Beauty, Courage, and Wit, on the Foundation of Universal Brotherhood.
Um, OK what does that all mean? This group purports to follow some writings
of Aleister Crowley which simply state, "do what ever the hell you
want!" Very interesting documents and a host of other stuff on this
site......I still get creeped out by this.
5.15 SUBINTSOC.NET
The Subversive Intellectual Society.
I'm still trying to figure these guys out . SUBINTSOC
seems to be a sort of left- wing sounding  board.
They claim to have been around since 1987 in the "day" of ARPANET."
Sort of lurking around on their blazing 900 baud modems I guess... something
like that. Oh what the hell! COGITO ERGO REBELLO!
5.16 SHAVERTRON
Now HERE is a fun site! Shavertron is all about Shaver
Mystery related stuff. If you have never heard
of Richard Shaver (and you like that sort of thing) you are in for a treat.
Seems that in the 1950s Amazing Story's editor Ray Palmer started publishing
the ravings of one Richard Shaver as "true" stories. All about
weird subterranean civilizations and sinister demons. The "Shaver
Mysteries" were a hit and revitalized the fortunes of Palmer and
struggling Amazing Stories. Shavertron is a web page deriving from a Fan
magazine of the same name.
5.17 The
Global Consciousness Project
This is a very odd thing. Some time ago, people who get
paid to notice such things discovered  that
computers seemed to be affected by the people around them in very subtle
ways (and I don't mean by hammering the keyboard or smashing the monitor
with a baseball bat.) If a computer is set to toss random (or pseudo random)
numbers around for long enough the people in the vicinity can influence
the outcome. The changes are apparently very tiny but statistically noticeable.
Well, some folks got together and started the Global Consciousness.
PCs from all over the world are running a program which sets a series
of random numbers and sends the results back to a central server. The
results are rather interesting. Most notable is that the systems registered
a spike just before the terrorist attacks on September 11 and for several
day after. Now THAT'S freaky!
5.18 Unarius
Academy of Science
Well, not really as it turns out. Urarius seems to be
another UFO cult, one which popped up in the 1950 and this raises an important
question. Why did all of these freaky UFO cults start in the 1950s anyway?
5.19 Christians
for Cannabis
Just to prove that anything can be justified using the
Bible. Christians for Cannabis is using Christian scripture to justify
recreational drug use. Now the Odd Emperor is sort of a Libertarian at
heart and although I don't advocate narcotic use for any reason (my drugs
of choice are caffeine and sometimes alcohol), I don't claim to have some
holy insight as to what other people should place into their bodies. But,
come-on! The Bible doesn't advocate the recreational use of narcotics,
does it?
5.20 Unusual
Research
I kinda like this page... no really. Ya some of the item
here are a little freaky and yes they have some sort of music file blatting
away on the index page but the layout is tastfull...so is the music for
that matter. There is some cool stuff here too. Like fractal music and
bigfoot crap. Me like such freaky stuff.
