I am not normally the superstitious type but this is beginning to get to me with one earth crust event after another. Of course, having recently watched History Channel's Nostradamus something or other again adds to it. I keep telling myself these things all happen off and on, and they do, but it does remind a person once again of how little control humans have over whether they happen.

Aha! Pareidolia again! Two ghosts holding hands flying right to left, a high heeled shoe,a Siberian genie, the first recorded sighting of Santa's sleigh even...
