Listing pompous and pretentious quotations from the media. At various times different columnists have been regular entrants, with varied reactions. At one point in the 1970s, Pamela Vandyke Price, a Sunday Times wine columnist, wrote to the magazine complaining that "every time I describe a wine as anything other than red or white, dry or wet, I wind up in Pseud's Corner". Around 1970, editor of the Radio Times Geoffrey Cannon regularly appeared because of his habit of using "hippie" argot out of context in an attempt to appear "with it" and trendy. Simon Barnes, a sports writer on The Times, has been regularly quoted in the column for many years. The column now often includes a sub-section called Pseuds Corporate, which prints unnecessarily prolix extracts from corporate press releases and statements.
The Argument from Personal Incredulity is an extremely weak argument, as Darwin himself noted. In some cases it is based upon simple ignorance. For instance, one of the facts that the Bishop finds it difficult to understand is the white colour of polar bears. As for camouflage, this is not always easily explicable on neo-Darwinian premises. If polar bears are dominant in the Arctic, then there would seem to have been no need for them to evolve a white-coloured form of camouflage.
This should be translated: I personally, off the top of my head sitting in my study, never having visited the Arctic, never having seen a polar bear in the wild, and having been educated in classical literature and theology, have not so far managed to think of a reason why polar bears might benefit from being white.
In late 2005, an anonymous individual claiming to be a retired U.S. government official began releasing excerpts of supposedly highly classified documents related to a series of exchanges between humans and extraterrestrials extending as far back as the late 1940s. Details leaked thus far include many journal notes from some of the twelve travelers to the other world. The extraterrestrials are from the planet Serpo located in the Zeta Reticuli system.
In 1965, the United States government carefully selected 12 military personnel; ten men and two women. They were trained, vetted and carefully removed from the military system. The 12 were skilled in various specialities. Near the northern part of the Nevada Test Site, the aliens landed and the 12 Americans left. One entity was left on Earth. The original plan was for our 12 people to stay 10 years and then return to Earth. But something went wrong. The 12 remained until 1978, when they were returned to the same location in Nevada. Seven men and one woman returned. Two died on the alien's home planet. Four others decided to remain, according to the returnees. Of the eight that returned, all have died. The last survivor died in 2002.
The anonymous individual has also released numerous details concerning the extraterrestrials (also known as Ebe's) who have visited Earth:
"Ebe #1 was the crash survivor from the craft found in Corona, NM in July, 1947.
Ebe #2 was the first exchange of an Eben scientist and was the second visitor left on Earth. I don't know the exact time period of his stay.
Ebe #3 was a female scientist.
J-ROD was a cloned Eben, created by the Ebens, who came as another type of visitor. J-ROD is a very complicated matter and the entire story will never be made public. The exact type of entity J-ROD was shall remain classified as "Above Top Secret." Let your exclusive UFO Thread List membership know that this subject matter is closed and no future questions regarding this topic will be addressed. Why s/he or it was named J-ROD is classified. People have speculated about that, and officially it means something, but that information shall remain shielded from the public domain.
President Bill Clinton wanted to continue the exchange program, but others in his administration thought it would be a mistake and overruled him. It was terminated in 1994 with Ebe #5."
Interest has also been raised by the resemblance of the exchange project to the final scenes of the 1977 film, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" by Steven Spielberg. These excerpts have been published on the Project Serpo website

Cleaning the house will solve that. And you ought to do it more than once every 18 months.
I did! Or they did - Maria, Culot and all.
It's about time they had a return visit.. :)
Why? What were you waiting for?
