skinz Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hear, hear. I've always thought Arthur Conan Doyle was over-rated. The Sherlock Holmes stories are garbage. Films were crap too. Now "Jason and the Argonauts"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsafan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Mad as a bicycle. I think this is the maddest part. Haha...! Local residents said they immediately wondered how many people the 220 pound squid could feed if cut into sashimi. Unfortunately the ammonium content of the squid is said to make it rather unpleasant to eat. Oh yum yum yum. Poor squid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Skyfish (rods, etc) are supranatural if we can use that word too. ---------- Post added 01-03-2014 at 00:13 ---------- Hear, hear. I've always thought Arthur Conan Doyle was over-rated. The Sherlock Holmes stories are garbage. I re-wrote one of his books going under the nom de plume of Sir Alco Coal and Oil, so that it makes more sense ... it's called 'The Budgie of the Bolehills'. Top read if ever there was one ... very exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz3 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hear, hear. I've always thought Arthur Conan Doyle was over-rated. The Sherlock Holmes stories are garbage. He was heavily into spiritualism as well, contacting folk from the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDINNERS Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 These are no more than fairy tales, all of them. So no. Same as the Bible, but people believe this:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Given that the famous primary examples of fabulous entities (Loch Ness Monster and the Cottingley 'Fairies in the Garden' pictures) reported in the first half of the 20thC, are now known to have been declared by their originators, or their ancestors, as forgeries, can we trust other legends to be true? The Cottingley Fairies are a series of five photographs taken in 1917 by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins living in Cottingley, near Bradford, depicting the pair interacting with fairies. But one of them declared, late in the 20thc, that she and her cousin had painted the fairy images on card and stuck them to cotton or thin branches. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was deceived. Surgeon Dr Wilson claimed to have taken the now-famous ''Nessie'' picture of a monster's head rearing out of the loch in 1934, but it is now revealed to be a mounted model of a beast on a toy submarine. So can we really believe in such famous British supernatural legends as "Spring heeled Jack" etc? Don't be silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Skyfish (rods, etc) are supranatural if we can use that word too. It was an interesting phenomena we they were first discovered but was pretty soon found to simply be an effect of camera shutter speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Define 'nature'. Nature or natural (in the physical sense) -that which is detectable within our senses, conforms to the natural laws. Supernatural is above and beyond nature so any creature (animate or inanimate) can't, by definition, exist in the natural realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic, a land creature can't exist underwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 By that logic, a land creature can't exist underwater It will exist until it drowns, then it will exist in a state of being dead through drowning, then it will decompose, all conforming to natural laws. Perhaps you mean a creature that is adapted for dry land cannot survive under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
