Sea Serpents


On September 18, Katie phoned me from the paper to report that the skeleton of a "sea monster" had washed up on the beach at Parker's Cove (see area map; mistakenly labelled as "Hillsburn" on the map due to MapQuest database error).

As I had a car repair appointment in Parker's Cove anyway, I immediately set off. The words "sea monster" immediately aroused the suspicion that this was going to turn out to be a Basking Shark carcass, but it might also have been a Right Whale which would have been very tragic. In fact, one glance confirmed that it was a Basking Shark in a very advanced stage of decomposition.

Now is the time, if you have a strong stomach, to view a photo of the carcass. You will immediately note from the man in the background that this was a large animal (about 8 meters in length). Before going further, we should also note that such carcasses are responsible for all the mediaeval drawings of sea monsters, and hence for all the subsequent myths about plesiosaurs, cadmosaurus, the Loch Ness monster and so on.

While I was examining the carcass, I was interviewed by a reporter from the Halifax Chronicle Herald, and a team from ATV television news. I told them what it was and why. That night, the Herald printed a photo and an accurate article, quoting me and confirming my identification by checking with biologists at Acadia university and Fisheries Canada. Good journalism! The television station chose to show an interview with a local yokel who was baffled by the discovery ("I sure ain't never seen nothin like this before") and claimed that it was "a mystery". Hmmmm.

Well guess what? Within a few hours of the discovery, a local crackpot turned up and identified the carcass as "a 4000 year old prehistoric sea monster", which had been swimming around 12 hours before". It received a name, "Parky", and a society of "Parky" enthusiasts formed. Within 48 hours of the discovery, a whole body of biological "facts" had been created (such as "Parky could stay underwater for more than 12 hours because of his specialised lungs") including an artist's conception of what it looked like in life (bearing a remarkable resemblance to Barney the Dinosaur). The Granville Times -Volume 5, October 2002



"The furore surrounding the Parkers Cove beast, Parkie, a phenomenon which always seems to follow the sightings of these ‘monsters’, resulted in Canadian universities and scientists being accused of not showing any interest in this potentially earth-shattering find—most universities simply dismissed this find as a basking shark without any further analysis. However, Professor Herman and his colleague Dr Don Stewart from Acadia University, Nova Scotia, volunteered to carry out DNA analysis on a tissue sample from Parkie.".....

A preliminary report on this carcass was posted on the web,2 but it did not properly address all the issues and contained many errors. We therefore decided to do a thorough study of Parkie, especially since this carcass showed an uncanny resemblance to the creature known as the Zuiyo-maru carcass (ZMC) which was hauled up by a Japanese fishing boat (the Zuiyo-maru) off the New Zealand coastline in 1977 http://creation.com/parkie-a-new-pseudo-plesiosaur-washed-up-on-the-nova-scotia-coast

Book of Dragons by Dr. Ernest Drake


Publisher's Note on inside cover:


wiki on Dragonology:_The_Complete_Book_of_Dragons:

The book is presented as faux nonfiction and is written in a pseudo-scholarly style, with nineteenth century author, dragonologist "Dr. Ernest Drake" purporting to have written the material. The subject matters is dragons; where to find them, information about different species, how to work with them and several tactile "samples" of dragon material, including their wings, scales and skin. Also included in the book is a sealed envelope enclosing "dragon-calling spells," dragon riddles, a letter from "Dr. Drake," a number of illustrations, mostly in color, detailing dragons and their anatomy, and a foldout map showing dragon locations throughout the world.

Dark Crystal's Skesis & The Missing Link

The Dark Crystal makes a return in 2011, with the Power of the Dark Crystal. This is also great timing, considering they just found the "missing link"

Image
Fossil Ida: extraordinary find is 'missing link' in human evolution.

"Perfectly preserved fossil Ida, unveiled in New York today, provides unprecedented insight into our ancestry"
IDA WAS just 58cm (23inches) long and nine-months-old when she died 47 million years ago, but scientists are confident the cat-like creature is the common ancestor of all primates. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2009/0521/1224247034331.html
If u grew up in the 80's like I did, then u know what a Skesis is. The Dark Crystal is a cult classic, so when the story came out above one cant help but think the fossil above & the Skesis/Mystic looks similar.


Thra has three suns; the Great Sun, the Rose Sun, and the Dying Sun. Many creatures and races inhabit the planet, but the dominant race is the urSkeks, ...

One thousand years before the beginning of the movie, during the Great Conjunction of the three suns, the urSkeks cracked the Crystal of Truth, and split into two races; the hunchbacked, gentle beings known as urRu or "Mystics" and the vulture-like tyrants known as Skeksis.

In that moment the Crystal became the Dark Crystal.

The Skeksis then drove the urRu from the castle where the cracked crystal resided and instituted a reign of terror over their world.

Their wrath was particularly directed toward the elf-like Gelflings, due to a prophecy that promised the restoration of the crystal and the end of the Skeksis' power.

Dean Yoni & Sam Linga



I watched My Bloody Valentine this weekend... it syncs very nicely to the lips. (the yoni stones) Never in my life did i see so many in one sitting, over laced with Hearts!! Which is not surprising.

http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/my_bloody_valentine_3d_m.jpg

In Supernatural, Dean is the ladies man- where Sam was the shy one. The boys have evolved quite a bit in their screen characters over the last 4 seasons. They went from chasing urban ledgends, cleansing the un-pure. To sending demons to Hell. Dean & Sam aligned themselves with the Angels, to stop the seals from being unlocked and hell breaking lose on earth. The last episode of season 4 was called "Lucifer Rising".

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3216/3025331743_630860ba48.jpg

Then the duo jump over to the Hollywood silver screen with characters that follow the same plot.
Caution: Spoilers below
http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/923/923403/supernatural_season4-guys_1224883540.jpg

Both Friday 13 & My Bloody Valentine sync up very nicely with their Supernatural characters (Also see: Supernatural Friday 13th )


Dean -Jensen Ackles as Yoni , the lips, the heart/duality


Sam-Jared Padalecki as Linga/phallus/oblisk with his sword, slashing the water demon Jason Voorhees. Also see Supernatural Friday 13th & Sophia Lady in The Lake

Sam & Dean went from small time urban hunters, to big time demon slayers trying to stop the Apocalypse. In the 4th season the boys are introduced to the Angels. (Dan Brown ANgels & DemoN) exploring the concepts of Heaven and Hell- Dean did spend some time there himself in the season 3. See The Reaper for more Supernatural!

http://movishow.i.ph/photo/d/91-1/super.jpg

In the finale, Sam breaks the last of the 66 seals, by slaying a demon in St.Mary's church, which was built on top of the pit Lucifer was cast into. It was the spilling of Lilith's blood that opened the gateway to allow Lucifer to rise. Sam has changed into a demon himself, by drinking his girlfriends demon blood, while Dean has pledge full alliance to the Angels.

It's fitting that we find both the male Linga-Sam and female yoni-Dean of the stargate to come together to open a portal to hell in Supernatural. Season 5 should be interesting.

Right: Linga and Yoni


Another one that has grabbed my attention is Drag Me to Hell, that is directed by "Sam" Raimi & co written with Ivan Raimi (are these 2 brothers ??) -with a character list : Rham, Ganush, Jack & Stu should make for a highly sync movie.




Ivan Raimi also has Evil Dead IV coming in 2010 or 2011 !



Bruce Campbell just played Sam AXE in Burn Notice

Ever notice how many 'Sam' s travel to the other side along with Alice, Dorthy, Olivia, Anna and their variant names ??


"Sir Walter Scott in his Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft ascribed gnomes, kobolds and goblins, along with Scottish bogles, to all correspond with a caricature of the Sami people."

Road to Hal, The Atlantic Gateway

The Trans Canada from BC To Nova Scotia HALifax


The twinning stretch of Trans-Canada compared to building railroad

http://adventures.worldnomads.com/lpmaps/Canada_trans-canada.jpg
why is Halifax missing?

The Atlantic provinces are known as the "Atlantic Gateway"- it consists of New Brunswick, PEI, NS and Newfoundland.
NB to NS -Deadliest Highway TansCan#2- Nearly Fix This final section -- which alone has taken three years to build -- is the current route between Grand Falls and Long Creek, the scene of so many crashes that the accident rate is twice that of the national average. Between 1997 and 2001, 807 accidents took place on the road. Twenty-seven of them were fatalities, in which 34 people died. http://www2.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=4cebe4a2-7ef4-4bf8-91f6-32656ac3c505

A truck driver has been fined nearly $400 for smashing into a toll booth in northern Nova Scotia last month.

It was this same highway that left 1,500 vehicles stranded at the during a winter storm, not once but twice this winter, sparking a class action law suit. All leading to Halifax

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Highway 101 was once known as Nova Scotia's deadliest highway. Recently, that moniker has gone to Highway 103 along the south shore, where 10 people died last year.

According to the provincial Department of Transportation, 29 people have been killed in crashes on Highway 103 since 2006, compared to 14 on Highway 101.

An online petition calls on the provincial and federal governments to twin Highway 103 between exits 5 and 13, and upgrade the road to Exit 19 by 2010. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2009/03/06/highway-101-funding.html
101 loops around Yarmouth back up to halifax via 103
The 101 and 103 both are littered with crosses that mark many victims of fatal crashes.
The 101 is also known as the Harvest Highway.
The province's agricultural heartland, the Annapolis Valley, is honoured, as Highway 101 will now be known as the “Harvest Highway.”

Highway 101 twinning project designed to reduce the number of motor vehicle-related fatalities may now do just the opposite, according to some. A newly-twinned section of Highway 101 between Falmouth and Avonport has already met with some criticism.

At their Dec. 9 session, members of West Hants municipal council declared the recently christened “Harvest Highway” an “accident waiting to happen” -- one day after its official opening.

Councillors said the opening was a rush job that could only end in an even greater death toll. http://www.novanewsnow.com/article-282577-Harvest-Highway-on-a-collision-course.html

Peace and love to all those lost on the Trans Canada going to Hal

103 Aslo runs though the Christmas tree capital of Canada, its interesting to note that about 1/2 km down the road from the sign that welcomes you to "Lunenburg Xmas tree Capital" sits a fur tree decorated with shoes of many travelers. See Santa Claus the Great Imposter

Looks like the Atlantic Gateway is going to have a big "banging" summer ahead!

It has only been in the past few years that Halifax has gain popularity with the music scene. AC/DC to perform on Aug. 6 - @ Magnetic Hill- Moncton NB

Magnetic Hill has been a top attraction in NB since 1933, just off the TC 2 Highway

Stories about a strange road where the wagon would run up on the horses heels when going uphill go back to the 1880's. In 1933 stories of cars rolling uphill without power peaked the curiosity of three newspaper reporters from the Saint John Telegraph Journal. In August of 1933 they traveled to Moncton and spent hours trying every hill they came to in hopes of unraveling the mystery. After 5 hours of no success they stopped to stretch their legs on the way home and you guessed it. . . the car started to roll uphill. Slowly at first and then with gathering momentum the car climbed uphill without power. They spent a couple of hours retrying the hill and using all the equipment they had brought to discover the secret. They noticed the water on the side of the road also running uphill. That ruled out magnetic properties. They decided it must be an optical illusion, but how and why they didn't know. - http://www.magnetichill.com/english.htm

Magnetic_Hill_(Canada) is an example of a gravity hill, a type of optical illusion created by rising and descending terrain. It also falls right in side the capstone pyramid of ley lines below:

Other acts this summer include some highly synced bands/singers at the Commons, which is right across from Halifax Citadel

"Halifax is hosting some huge acts this summer, including the two Halifax Rock concerts featuring Paul McCartney & KISS. But that’s not all. Mayor Peter Kelly called Halifax Regional Municipality “Atlantic Canada’s concert capital” yesterday, potentially refuelling a friendly rivalry between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. There’s also the Virgin Festival featuring The Tragically Hip and The Offspring - July 4" http://www.metronews.ca/halifax/local/article/232183--halifax-is-atlantic-canada-s-concert-capital-kelly

There is also a little island off Halifax called Devils Island - It is claimed that hoof prints have been melted into the island's rocky coast, that trail down into the ocean. Urban legend states that divers had followed them as far as they could, but could see no end in site. Today it continues to be a "haunted hot spot".

Controversy in the past over this claim stems from the fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere, and therefore the halfway mark lies approximately 16 km North of the 45th paralle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewiacke,_Nova_Scotia

Swissair Crash flight 111 off Peggy's Cove, Halifax Nova Scotia
On 2 September 1998 the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant between the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died.[1] It was the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 ever.

Sinking of Titanic in 1912 Four days into her journey across the Atlantic @ 11:40 P.M. on the night of April 14, she struck an iceberg and went down Apr.15.


Halifax, Nova Scotia, located on the eastern coast of Canada, has one of the most moving and intimate connections with the Titanic disaster, playing a key role during the tragedy's aftermath and becoming the final resting place of many of her unclaimed victims. Three Halifax ships were involved in the grim task of recovering victims - many of whom were laid to rest in three of our city's cemeteries. http://titanic.gov.ns.ca/


After Titanic- Halifax

"Titanic" could refer to a doomed ship or planet (are we all sailing on the Titanic?) and strangely (since it is apparently the name of the Siberian projectile), went down in the North Atlantic on it's way to New York. According to some rumors, it was also carrying a cursed Egyptian mummy in it's cargo hold. " http://www.enterprisemission.com/bismark.htm
