David Rudiak's last couple of sentences says a whole lot:

>I for one don't mind reasonable explanations that do a
>good job of explaining most of the details (the mark of a good
>theory). What we so-called "true believers" can't stand are the
>utterly idiotic "explanations" put forward by people seeming to
>lack all common sense and/or intellectual integrity.

Amen David. There are, unfortunately, a whole lot of people who
are going to be eating "pelican," ostrich and crow _when_ the
theories are finally supported by physical evidence. So, keep
looking.  Maybe one such bird will build a nest on a more
enlightened person's head (than Mr. Easton's), lay an egg, and
when the bird hatches, maybe that person on whose head the nest
is precariously perched, will hear a noise, a chirp, and get
curious enough to lift up his arms to his head and recognize
that something has been nesting in his hair...and keeps coming
back each spring!

However, history has shown that it is more likely that the
person in whose hair the nest is made, will simply remove the
nest and forget about it, allowing it to happen all over again
the following spring.  How many years has it been...50, 100,
1000, 1450 BC? Perhaps if Mr. Easton starts defeathering all
those birds making nests in his hair, maybe he will avoid the
tar and feathering that will inevitably result should he wait
till more people recognize his predicament. How many others out
there are unaware that you've got nests of one kind or another
built right on top of your heads!  Just because you can't see
those nests in your own hair, you can recognize them in others,
can't you?

I was only 12 when the "swamp gas" theory emerged. Dad informed
us at the dinner table that that was the latest explanation. I
laughed so hard I spit out my asparagus salad. Tears streamed
down my face. We lived in the Midwest where corn grows high, and
swamps were something the dinosaurs used to roam. I envisioned
my bedroom a "swamp" conjuring up ridiculous images of green
slime covered, smelly clothes that had laid so long on the floor
of my bedroom that they gave off fetid smelling gas. Then
further imagining my "visitors" holding their wee little noses
as they emerged, walking into my "swamp" bedroom, handing me a
bar of Dial soap. I ended up rolling on the floor in a fit of
laughter.

It was at that point in time that I realized that people will go
to _any_ lengths to refute that which they don't understand,
even if they see it, experience it, or feel it. We "true
believers" get our funny bones tickled regularly.  Hope this
true story tickled yours.  Hugs, Sue, another experiencer
