For years i've been trying to attract brownies, which are well know to be friendly, helpful, and domestic. I now realize that the activities of the antisocial and destructive gnomes has been driving the brownies away. I need to call GnomeBusters. - dr pepper Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:34:00 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1097 Gnome sweet gnome! ;D - Ian Mason Sat, 20 Dec 2008 08:43:30 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1094 "There's no business like gnome business like no business I knooooow......." - Cuddy Joe Sat, 20 Dec 2008 06:08:23 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1089 It's a good thing I don't worry about the voting around here.

[/quote]Actually, it sounds like gibberish even played correctly[/quote] Granted, Robert Plant is no poet. Ian Anderson once suggested that the two of them get together and produce an album, with Robert writing the music and Ian writing the lyrics. Robert did not take that well. However, he did reach some sort of "higher mental plane" with his "Stairway to Heaven". Do you not understand the lyrics? - BillyJoe Fri, 19 Dec 2008 09:08:19 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1073 [quote]So easy to see when gnome is the object, yet so difficult to see when you substitute 'God' in the story.

Play Kermit the frog 'its not easy being green' backwards and listen to him espouse the virtues of scientology ! - Scazman Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:43:42 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1059 Great article! Well thought out. Kudos. Favorite quote - "They even have t-shirts." - Careyp74 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:53:39 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1058 [i]"...Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" played backwards....sounds like gibberish."[/i] Actually, it sounds like gibberish even played correctly--but it's really [i]good[/i] gibberish. ;) - TDjazz Fri, 19 Dec 2008 00:40:03 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1055 [quote]Allison Smith is clearly a gnomeophobe. [/quote] But there is absolutely no reason for Allison to be afraid of these little fellas. - BillyJoe Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:52:40 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1054 [quote]You ask to hear the recording again, and he plays it back to you, this time with you listening specifically for a sound that is close to “I am Gnome.” And, after he plays it again, you can sort of hear it that way[/quote] Somewhere on the internet, there is a recording of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" played backwards. It sounds like gibberish. It is then re-played with a translation for you to read whilst listening to it again. Now, suddenly, it no longer sounds like gibberish! - BillyJoe Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:37:43 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1051 At last! An explanation for why I can't do maths and never could. And completely unchallengable because it's a religious belief, almost as good as "faith can move mountains so I don't have to learn geography". :D - Ian Mason Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:31:02 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1045 "Allison Smith is clearly a gnomeophobe" :D (cracked me up). Maybe the audience does want (or hope) to be decieved but I dont think they want to played for the fool. It just turns out that way. - Able Thu, 18 Dec 2008 17:28:50 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html#comment-1037 Sadly, this frame of logic will be lost on a good lot of the Woo crowd, stating clearly that "Oh, that's just silliness. See, we here at "(insert ghost hunting group name here)" are serious about this." It doesn't disturb me that there are people that are fans of the show, being a fan of something is relatively okay... What disturbs me is that there are people spending real dollars and real hours trying to do this sort of stuff at home. I really do wish that things like Mythbusters had this sort of following. While Jamie and Adam could learn a few things about the scientific method and control/variable usage in some rare instances, they do a pretty good job at tearing down modern and ancient myths in an entertaining way... Perhaps it's because the audience wants to be decieved? They desire to be played for the fool? - Tristan Noel Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:14:25 +0100
