Some things, simply cannot be explained.\u00a0\u00a0 I was walking down the road this evening, and a Pine Needle pinged me on the left cheek.\u00a0 The left cheek on my face.<\/p>\n

Many of the “unexplainable occurrences” in life are obvious.\u00a0 Like the incredible and intricate designs which are found in nature.\u00a0 There are so many plants, for example, which are brilliant in their own right.\u00a0 This continues on from the smallest little ant, to the largest mountain range.\u00a0 Heck from the core of the earth to the depths of outer space.<\/p>\n

Then there are the mysteries which just kind of freak you out\u2026 hair-stands-up-on-your-neck freak you out.\u00a0 Like the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.\u00a0 The big stinking-beyond-reason haunted hotel\u2026 with all the creepy guest rooms, ballrooms,\u00a0 hallways and more.\u00a0 Children running throughout the halls, the sounds of banging, clanging, voices and overall mischief.\u00a0 Yeppers.\u00a0\u00a0 It is the haunted hotel depicted in The Shining.<\/p>\n

There are other mysteries, like the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle\u2026\u00a0 or perhaps \u201cThe Fall of the Minoans\u201d some three and a half millenniums ago\u2026. on the island of Crete.<\/p>\n

How about the Antikythera Mechanism?\u00a0\u00a0 It is an ancient and very intricate machine found in a shipwreck near Greece that dates back to about 100 BC.<\/p>\n

The Antikythera mechanism is SO cool.\u00a0 It contains gears and structures that were not found in devices again for like\u2026.. another\u2026.. 1000 years.\u00a0 And that is when the Chinese finally started constructing gear-type gadgets.\u00a0 But the Antikythera\u2019s purpose cannot be explained.\u00a0 It was WAY out of place for its time.<\/p>\n

And then\u2026. today\u2026 on a most serious note\u2026. I read that the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is right on back to square one.\u00a0 Which yields another mystery.<\/p>\n

According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, \u201cthe search in the vicinity of the acoustic detections can now be considered complete and, in its professional judgment, the area can now be discounted as the final resting place of MH370.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently\u2026. the four acoustic pings that were driving the ENTIRE search\u2026..did not actually come from the plane at all.\u00a0\u00a0 Yeppers\u00a0 again.\u00a0 The Big Whigs now believe that the sounds probably emanated from some other man-made source.\u00a0\u00a0 No plane went down there.<\/p>\n

Now I feel terribly sorry for all the families of those missing from this flight.\u00a0 They have no closure.\u00a0 And it sounds like they may never have an answer.\u00a0 I have lots of questions about this whole deal.\u00a0 And logic isn\u2019t providing replies to any of them.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we need to refer to the U.S. Government sealed documents concerning\u00a0 Roswell\u2026 and Area 51.\u00a0 Which might help clear up the Bermuda Triangle, the Fall of the Minoans, the Antikythera Mechanism\u2026. and more.<\/p>\n

Yet. With all of this, there are still many other things which will never, EVER be explained.\u00a0 Like … young girls’ attraction to Justin Beiber, or Joan River’s face.\u00a0 Or how Baywatch stayed on TV as long as it did.\u00a0 Some things… you are better off…. never Ping-ing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?\u201d\u00a0 – \u00a0Charles de Lint<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
