Chupacabra VS. Muhnochwa!
2002-08-20 01:40:34
Chupacabra may have been the unexplained demonic alien creature for the 90s, but I was starting to think the whole thing had gotten a little old. The recent appearance of the Muhnochwa or "face-scratching creature" in Uttar Pradesh, India, is like a breath of fresh air on the stagnant cryptozoological scene.
Unlike the "monkey man" hysteria that briefly sweep India a year or so ago, Muhnochwa seems to be much more than just a bizarre rash of unexplained sighting. So far it has claimed the lives of seven people buy scratching and burning them in the middle of the night. One other was killed and 12 others injured when the police tried to quell a Muhnochwa-induced riot.
Unlike authorities in the US and Central America, who tend to disregard reports such as Muhnochwa and Chupacabra, Indian authorities have been a bit more open minded. Police Deputy Inspector General K. N. D. Dwivedi, for example, put forth the theory that 'the assailant was a genetically engineered insect introduced by ?anti-national elements? from outside India to cause mayhem.' Authorities from the national intelligence bureau dismissed his theory as ridiculous, but then filed a report confirming that the villages were experiencing an extra-terrestrial invasion by a bunch of flashing lights "like a photocopier in the sky"
Personally, I'd like to see a celebrity Chupacabra VS. Muhnochwa cage match, the winner gets to fight a Coelacanth. .

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)
