You gotta love these folks: As US coast-to-coast crimewaves go, it is not in the league of Bonnie and Clyde. It lacks both violence and avarice and is further hindered by an overabundance of pre-publicity. Undeterred, a couple of students from Cornwall are intent on making American criminal history by spending their summer breaking as many US laws as possible. Starting in the liberal state of California, they hope to evade the attention of local police officers when they ride a bike in a swimming pool and curse on a crazy-golf course. In the far more conservative - and landlocked - state of Utah, they will risk the penitentiary when they hire a boat and attempt to go whale-hunting. I hope they do a blog!

Americans responded to the lure of the paranormal in droves, making “The Sixth Sense” and “The Blair Witch Project” box office hits and proving, once again, that our fascination with things that go bump in the night often makes our wallets go bump in our pockets. And, as logic would have it, interest in true-to-life, documented hauntings has grown considerably over the last few years. One such haunting that has come to light in recent years is the so-called “Bell Witch,” a sinister entity that tormented a family on Tennessee’s frontier between the years of 1817 and 1821.

James Finn is not a person who makes predictions as a rule, however, he feels strongly about the 21st of March 2006 being the possible starting date of the next "superwave" event. In each case the "event" is preceded by the arrival of the "Star People" who will "rescue" many of the planet's inhabitants.

He says "My position on this "date" is that I would rather be wrong and say something about it, than be right and say nothing about it, because I wasn't sure.
