Vacation with Karisma

Along the semi-secluded, white sand beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya lay a handful of luxurious vacation resorts owned by Karisma. In Greek, the word means "divine favor" and you will surely agree that Karisma's beautiful hotels are of the Divine!

The riviera maya vacations resorts cater to all manner of travelers, from adults-only to family-friendly hotels, with features the entire family can enjoy to swim-up bars. Karisma's Riviera Maya packages include the revolutionary Gourmet-inclusive menus; there are no buffet tables here!

Why struggle through what many experts are saying is going to be the coldest winter in 25+ years when you could be traipsing through tropical jungles and frolicking on the white sand beaches of the Riviera Maya?

Bigfoot Asserts First Amendment Rights

A self-proclaimed, unlicensed, New Hampshire-based "performance artist" who was ejected from a state park for dressing as Bigfoot has complained to state authorities that his First Amendment (free speech) rights were violated.

According to the letter, one Jonathan Doyle says he and several others - some of whom were also in Bigfoot costumes - were ejected from a state park in Jaffrey even though they were on lesser-used trails and were not bothering other visitors. The New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union Foundation is working with Doyle on the matter. Officials say the letter, which was sent to the state parks department, has been forwarded to the state attorney general's office.

Aliens to Eat "Fatties"

Cadbury Gym's holiday advertising campaign has some people upset. The Bristol, England-based gym unveiled posters showing "little, green men" with accompanying text reading, "Advance health warning! When the aliens come, they will eat the fatties first."

The Cadbury Gym is one of the largest, independent fitness centers in the UK. It is attached to the 72-bedroom Cadbury House Hotel, a part of the Hilton-Doubletree chain, but is under different management. It won the European Club of the Year award in 2007. But the advertising campaign has drawn fire from the community and experts.

The manager defends the whole thing as "tongue-in-cheek," and says the purpose of the campaign was to draw-in new members who may have put-on weight over the holidays.

Watch Ghost Adventures Season 1 on Your Computer Now

Netflix has Ghost Adventures Season One available for instant streaming or rental. If you do not have a Netflix account, you get a 15-day free trial (it may be 30, but I think it's 15) and can begin watching and renting movies the moment you sign-up, so you have nothing to lose; if you do not want the services (which are awesome, BTW - and no, this is not a paid post) just cancel within the 15 days and the $10 charge will be refunded.

If you have broadband, it is totally worth the ridiculously low price of $10/month. I mean, it's worth it either way, since you can also have whatever you want to watch sent to your house even if you are using dial-up, but those with high-speed get a really sweet deal.

Recent Rash of Triangular UFO

There seems to have been a resurgence in UFO sightings of the triangular nature. These sightings reached their pinnacle in the 1980s and 90s and were later revealed to be (in an overwhelming majority of cases) a new military aircraft known as the "Stealth Fighter." Of course, not all of the sightings are confirmed to have been military aircraft, as the US military would neither confirm nor deny testing in all areas in which sightings were reported.

According to MUFON, triangular UFO have been sighted in Texas, California, and over Lake Eerie - in the past week, alone! A soundless, triangular UFO was seen in Pennsylvania on the 28^th. Most recently, a passenger in a window seat on Delta Flight 106 saw a triangular UFO over the North Atlantic Ocean. And these are only a handful.

Comparison Shop and Save

Many insurance companies offer several types of coverage - not just plans, but actual coverage - house, life, auto insurance, and more. Whenever the company has to pay-out on one of these plans - say there is a big flood, for example - the rates are often raised across the boards. This means that, if one of your policies is with a company that had to pay-out large settlements that year, your rates could go up even though you do not have the same type of coverage.

Insurance is an industry like any other and needs to turn a profit, so this is understandable, however a little shopping before you commit to a plan could save you thousands in the long run. Do your research and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you decide on a plan.

Weekly World News @ Google Books

I do not care for the monopoly known as Google. I have been quite vocal about this fact and the reasons are clear and clearly recorded, so I won't go into that here. Still, a whole lot of money has its rewards (even if thousands of laws and people's lives have to be broken to get that money), and this is one of those stories:

Google Books now has a slew of Weekly World News covers from the tabloid's heyday. Read it and weep.

Blood. (From your eyes!)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! I know it's late, but things are hectic.

I want to remind you that I'll be away all next week, and possibly longer. I'm having surgery which will hopefully alleviate my pain issues, if not solve them entirely. I may even feel well enough to post next week, but I'm not counting on it and I won't even if I do because I don't want to push it. If I have to be out longer, I'll try to drop-by and give you an ETA for my return, but just to be safe, I'm going to schedule a handful of posts to drop next week. Sadly, it won't be many, but it should keep you in paranormal reading until I return.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
