hmmm.

I can't help suspecting that story as it comes from a dealer in meteorite fragments. And he doesn't tell us exactly WHY the metal objects are "anomalies". Strange.

According to astronomers, the Hubble Telescope has captured a picture of three galaxies in the Lynx constellation locked in a gravitational battle. Amazing... but true!

I read today that Lennard Pearce, who played Grandad in Only Fools met and shook hands with Adolf Hitler! Amazing...but true.
Anyone got more nuggets to share? All I ask is they be Amazing...but true.

(162) JOHN PEEL IN DALLAS (JFK) - YouTube

Radio 1 DJ John Peel (and Jack Ruby for that matter) was famously in the Houston press briefing when Lee Harvey Oswald was announced as the prime suspect in the assassination of JFK.

That - by the way - is not the amazing bit.

The amazing...bit was that he was there reporting for the Liverpool Echo. If he'd not had his head turned by radio and TV, he could have been working with Tony Devereux on the Maybrick scrapbook or even taking down Mike Barrett's confession in 1994 (if the latter hadn't gone to the Daily Post instead). Sliding doors and what have you.

Amazing...bit, true.

Jack The Hat Mcvitie was actually murdered by Krays for taunting the twins that his biscuits are The Great All Rounder with Wheat at the Heart.

Amazing.. but not true.


The thing that is amazing but true is that the Liverpool echo has always been at the forefront promoting equality between the sexes.

Hi Ike,

I'm pretty sure there's an even more amazing... and true! link between Maybrick's former home and the assassination of JFK.

IIRC, former tenants of Battlecrease House were in the US and on the bus with Lee Harvey Oswald on his journey into the history books.

Love,

Absolutely amazing and true photo of the Earth, showing its dazzling surface (lit up by electric lights at night) in juxtaposition with the dazzling stars in space.

Erwin Rommel was considered by many to be a military genius. But that doesn't mean we ever had a statue of him in Germany. Probably because he fought for a depraved ideology and no current or previous Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany would have ever dreamt of defending him in public or otherwise.

Amazing... but true!
