Updated the show page to include the VICE documentary video:

"In this documentary, VICE meets up with Joe Nickell, a longtime paranormal investigator who's been called the real-life Agent Scully. We travel with him to Roswell, New Mexico, on the anniversary of the famous 1947 UFO crash to talk to believers, skeptics, and UFO witnesses alike to see if the truth is really out there."

Well, usually a show with skeptics is the same old harangue we already know but this actually sounds interesting. I'm a sucker for Roswell stuff.  ;)

Is it tonight?

The politics of zero is a great subject- I'll be sure to listen!
(Full disclosure, I am pro zero)

The Aztec number system was additiveâ€"the symbols were added together to produce the desired number. The number 0 was not prevalent in this number system. The Aztecs had a conceptual idea of what zero was, but there is no proof that they had a symbol representing it. A symbol for the number 0 played an interesting role in the Aztec culture. As stated earlier, when the Aztecs took over another civilization, they took pieces of its culture as well. In the Olmec civilization, which preceded the Aztecs, the shell represented 0. In the Aztec civilization, the shell represents the number 20. It seems that when the Aztecs took over the Olmec culture, they took the shell to represent the number 20 rather than 0. Following from that example, it would make sense to assume that other symbols were taken from conquered civilizations; however, there is not enough evidence to support it.

Steve Jobs, instead of wanting to be employee number 1 at Apple chose instead to be employee 0. The man was a true visionary.  ;)

I think you mean the OSS. OSI is the Air Force security investigation arm. The USAF was created in the same act as the CIA in 1947. Navy has NCIS. USAF has the OSI.

I would say another few days and it will have run its course.  I am going to have to dig up my old avatar.

WOTR

It was a good show (perhaps you have to have no idea who Nickell is to enjoy it?)  But I need to run.  Enjoyed your consignment store story. That seems about right for most "unexplained" events.


Dr. MD MD

Nah! Baseline conditions, Amy.  ;)

Cooper is straight up CIA.  8)

I'm not getting a real Mulder vibe here. This guy's really more a Scully.  ;)
