CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
If we're to trust Google Maps, this place is either "Desert Oraoracle" or "Desersert Oracle," depending upon how you approach. Note that there are two mail slots on the door, presumably one for each parallel universe. Here's the link, not that you wouldn't believe us. [Update: they saw my post and fixed the glitch!]
The mystery deepens! You've seen our strange research into the eerily glowing trees that spread through old yearbooks. We finally encountered a yearbook that acknowledges the bizarre phenomenon: "Light takes the trees ... But who can tell us how?" From Salve Regina's 1969 yearbook.
We do believe this is the first table of contents we've encountered that sneaks a peek at the rest of the book! Perhaps it's double-checking its accuracy. From Flute and Violin, and Other Kentucky Tales and Romances by James Lane Allen, 1899.
In 1992, the Wall Street Journal had the audacity to proclaim that it didn't mean to give any ideas to people living on the Potomac. As Vic Reeves would say, that’s quite a boast! From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1993.
The stress of being on television can make a person blink a staggering 176 times a minute. But as proven here, one blinks only on television, not off of it. It's a weird phenomenon. From Washington College's 1974 yearbook.
