Thanks to whoever bought me this kickass avatar!

e: well, that snipe loving sucked, so let me point you to an archived version of one of my favorite bits of internet wackadooery: The Beatles Never Existed.

"There is an ever-increasing amount of evidence and information that this "superstar" rock group was produced by recurring techniques known as Human Simulacra as well as Clones, Organic Robotoids and Synthetic Humans."

since I'm correcting a snipe, I'm not going to make an effort post, but I have always loved the fact that there's just something about the Beatles that trips a very weird breaker in a certain sort of brain

It's well known that Paul was killed in a car crash and replaced with an impersonator who had been known previously as Billy Shears.

My dad recorded an old program from the radio about the whole Paul is Dead thing at some point. It was really fascinating. I still have the tape somewhere, but I don't have anything to play it on anymore :(

This fun little page goes from "Paul somehow wouldn't 'get w/ the program,' wouldn't quit, & was eliminated" to "On October 9, 1979 Carter robotoid No. 18 was scheduled to hold a news conference" before you know it.

Clones, Synthetics, Organic Robotoids and Doubles

C3a.

How the memory of a person is transferred for the organic robotoids

In order to successfully make human organic robotoids --in a sense to make bionic robots-- the ability to simulate the personality of the person being copied was necessary.

The only viable solution was to learn how the brain coded memory and duplicate that process. The brain is entering into its memory about 10 million bits of information a second. The incredible storage capability of the human brain which weighs on the average 3.25 lbs in human males and 2.9 lbs in human females is incredible.

It reminded me a lot about Indigo Children, but the origins are way more hilarious. Origin spoiler It was from a Daria fanfiction that someone on above top secret thought was real

:lmao: I cannot believe this is an actual true sentence.

Blake Smith of Monstertalk, which is a great Cryptid pod, and Jeb Card, archaeologist, do a side project pod called In Research Of, which is an episode by episode review and discuss show about in Search of. Its really good and I recommend it.

I'm looking forward to dipping in and trying out some episodes. They're only five away from Animal ESP!

Can confirm that Department of Truth is a good comic for conspiracy heads. It's a slowish burn, which is frustrating, but someone coming at it fresh and with a chunk of issues to read will like it.

Trouble is that extra-textual question: is this a limited series with a finite end in mind, or...?

Bigfoot and yeti love the snow.

I seem to remember a Spider-Man short on The Electric Company about a million years ago in which he caught a yeti that was loose in town by lining up a series of ice cream cones on the sidewalk. Because the yeti was used to walking on snow, he dutifully stomped on the trail of cones right into the trap.

So that is canon :proof:
