Quote:This much is known. On 5 November 1872, the merchant ship Mary Celeste took on a cargo of 1,701 barrels of alcohol in New York City for Meissner Ackermann & Co. The alcohol was to be transported to Genoa, Italy, for use in strengthening Italian wines. The ship was seaworthy with an experienced captain and capable crew.

The Mary Celeste sailed out of Staten Island, New York. One month later it was discovered, under sail and in good shape, off the coast of southern Portugal – completely deserted. All ten people aboard had vanished without any sign of violence or struggle, and were never heard from again. What happened to them, and how the ship managed to sail merrily along for almost ten days without any crew, are enduring mysteries.

The captain of the Mary Celeste was Benjamin S. Briggs, who came from a seafaring family and had commanded other ships and made many successful voyages. He was known as a fair, pleasant man who was always appreciated by his crews. He was also a deeply religious man and a teetotaler.

On this fateful trip, the captain was accompanied by his wife Sarah (who had made several other voyages with him) and their two-year-old daughter Sophia. Because of school, the couple left their seven-year-old son Arthur behind in Marion, Massachusetts, with the captain’s mother. The other seven people on board were the crew: two Americans, one Dane, and four Germans, all with solid reputations who spoke good English.

Quote:In this excerpt from the 1984 Music Box interview, the genius Zappa talks about the likely use of race-specific bioweapons and why he believes nuclear weapons will never be used.

"I also believe that all the warfare of the future will be conducted with these biological agents because now gene splicing is a thing that can be done. It is feasible to consider the preparation of certain diseases that will kill only specific races, nationalities, or people with certain interests because you can tailor the disease to attack certain things in certain categories."

"It's foolish to consider the possibility of nuclear war because, from a business standpoint, it's impractical. It stops all business … what will be in the warheads will not be things that destroy real estate. It's much more practical to think of missiles going someplace and putting out chemicals or microbes that enable one party to subjugate the other party by controlling its labor force while leaving the buildings intact."

Quote:As a side note, I read a few of sources that stated this was the longest recorded police sniper killing in U.S. history at about 480 yards. And also, it is the earliest recorded use of night vision scopes by police snipers.

Quote:"Kreskin" www.kreskin.com "predicted" the Largest UFO sighting in a century ... he repeated this on the Art Bell show and backed it up with a $50,000 donation to charity if he was wrong. He narrowed it down to Thursday 6/6. That evening nothing happened and he subsequently went into damage control mode. This audio is of Art and "The less than amazing" Kreskin mixing it up. Kreskin sounds every bit the fool. Turns out it was all deception and Art bans him from the show.
