The world / universe is freaky, scary and awesome enough without having to make further stuff up.
Take a look at some images from the Hubble space telescope and gasp at the scale and destructive/productive powers at work there...taking place billions of years ago.
Look at a photo of a Humboldt squid and marvel at how it managed to grow to nearly six feet long in one year...or an adult eel caught in a river or canal and consider that it may well have swum up to 1 million miles in it's lifetime...Or a video of two Leopard Slugs mating.
Ghost photos - even if they were genuine - would still be decidedly boring by comparison, imo.

Well, that was kinda fascinating and romantical. But eeeeew.... I just got done eating. And seeing those close-ups of slugs didn't help my stomach out very much.

Why... why.... why did you have to say that... Do you have any idea how many years it took me to suppress that same memory from when I was 11... lol. That took a lot of drinking and killing brain cells, and now I gotta start ALL OVER AGAIN lol.

*Sigh*


Thankssss lol

That reminds me of a story with my middle son when he was about 8 years old. He woke up from a bad dream and heard something in his closet. I was taking a nice long bubble bath when he knocked on the door and told me he was scared. I said, "Well honey I am in the bath. You can open the door and sit right there until I get out if your scared." (remember he was only 8..)

I get total silence in the hall for 10 seconds and then he says, "Neah, whatever is in my closet can't be as scary as seeing you get out of the tub. I'll take my chances with the monsters!" and the little butt went back to bed

True... but have you ever seen these grandparents on youtube?!

Grandparents act like monkeys on Webcam! - YouTube

These old people are so funny! It is not set up either. Their daughter bought them a computer and they were trying to figure out how to email pictures and stuff.

(its rated PG so don't worry about naked old people or anything)

Its really cute..and funny!
