The Dyatlov Pass Incident:
The big fact that gets lost in the re-telling of this story is that the bodies weren't found until weeks later. It's not like somebody turned their back, then five minutes later all their friends were dead and half naked.

That makes the missing tongue a lot easier to explain. As disturbing as it may be, the first thing a scavenging animal is going to go for is probably the soft tissue of an open mouth, especially if it still smelled like the burrito the hiker just ate. Laying out in the sun surrounded by white snow for days also accounts for the weird tan.

The trauma and the destroyed tent points to an avalanche. Their state of undress can be explained by paradoxical undressing, a known behavior of hypothermia victims when their brains start to freeze and malfunction. In other words, it's the kind of behavior you'd expect from a group of injured avalanche victims wandering around in the middle of the night in the freezing cold.

What about the radioactivity? Or stranger details that turn up in some accounts, like orange lights in the sky? Well, there's the fact that none of that stuff turns up in the original documents from the incident, and appears to have been added later by people who just can't resist making things spookier than they are.

It's those later accounts that have stuck in the public memory, because so many of the original reports were destroyed (this was the Cold War-era Soviet Union, which treated casserole recipes as state secrets).

So none of the details on their own prove anything other than a tragic hiking accident. The conspiracy-loving public widely reject this, too busy lighting their torches and getting their pitchforks to go hunt down an, "unknown compelling force."

Dyatlov was 100% extra terrestrials. There is no other logical explanation.

found myself watching some b.s. alien show on the history channel just now, and anyone can go ahead and tell me what the money pit is all about.

i knew about it from this thread a long time ago, but seeing it on tv makes me really ready to pay to know what the hell it's all about.

if you haven't read about it, do so.

then let me know.

No, I think we all read about it already, when it was already posted itt a long time ago. Just b/c someone re-posted the Dyatlov Pass wiki doesn't make it OK to now knowingly re-post about whatever you want.

Yes, someone peed in my Cheerios today.

suck my dick. how about THEM cheerios?

i know it ain't cool to knowingly repost in here.

my excuse is that i had 2p2 open, oot at that, and they started randomly talking about the money pit on a show i was 25% paying attention to.

so basically, if there are any ancient aliens that browse oot they could help.

...Mayo alleged that "Satan has on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan has placed deliberate obstacles in his path and has caused plaintiff's downfall"...

Just Satan being Satan IMO.

First time I heard this was Haralabos Voulgaris on WPT when interviewed about his playing style he said something along the lines of "I'm like dihydrogen monoxide. I want to appear harmless at the table but I can be lethal and I have many ways to kill you" or something (paraphrased.. this was like 7 years ago).

Reading about the hoaxes was funny. Reminds me of the Man Show when the guys went around getting signatures from women to end women's suffrage. 1 out of 10 women yelled at them and the other 9 gladly signed.

makes me proud to not be American

YES

I am pretty sure there was a big thread about this in OOT like 4-5 years ago. Was absolutely unbelievable.

I think their mindset is along the lines of "alright I'm never going to change my very risky lifestyle, lets get infected so I dont have to worry about it anymore"

UFO's in FBI's Vault

The truth is out there. And by "truth," we mean a controversial (and official) 1950s FBI memo that alleges aliens did in fact land in New Mexico which has just been republished on the agency's website.

Not surprisingly, the news sparked a furious amount of activity on the web. Online lookups for "ufo fbi files" soared, as did related searches on "ufo pictures" and "ufo fbi coverup." But don't get too excited--this isn't the first time this controversial memo has circulated, and its claims are far from verified.

I've seen it at the smithsonian a couple times. it's pretty cool I guess but I guess I just don't care that much about diamonds

basically nazi soldiers were allowed to do whatever they wanted to russian civilians (murder/rape/torture/etc). obv communists suck, but it seems near impossible for all this to happen and not have massive amounts of post war atrocities against germany.
