    When there is something that EVERY known culture has as part of their written history there is probably some merit in it. I am not one to simply dismiss things because they don't fit into what we currently understand about our universe. As someone pointed out in a previous post, physics can change. We are still discovering new species on THIS planet. If there really is a multi-verse as theorists believe, they all came into existence from the same BigBang and are therefore connected at some point. Beings that can move between those, whether they are what we call demons, angels, aliens, etc, could very well be able to possess humans. We are 55%-65% water after all. Our thoughts and emotions are electrical and chemical.

    How the movies portray it. Nighttime has always been the time for many myths and legends.

    It is also because of our innate fear of things we cannot see. Darkness/nighttime feeds into that. It's a primal reaction.

    Actually we're more air than anything else - the empty space (air) between any 2 molecules is 10 times the molecular width. Makes you really feel for airheads. :lolol:

    And that is wrong/misunderstood. It's a popular myth, especially in fiction. But still a myth.

    We (well, most of us anyway) use all the brain power we have. There's not some untapped reservoir. What the original statement meant was that a lot of our brain tissue is support structure, and not used for neural activity. And sometimes, we're only using a percentage of certain areas at once (because the task at hand doesn't need it all). Then, you also had psychologists in the 1800s- early 1900s declaring that many people never reach the full potential of what their brain can do - either from lack of use, education, curiosity, etc.

    All of that got mish-mashed into "We only use 10% of our brains" over time.

    Science fact (at least I thought) that NJ is safe from earthquakes. Well that is fiction since we frigging just had a 4.5. North of me but wife sitting in computer chair thought she was having some sort of stroke since the chair moved a bit. Philly reported feeling it.

    Hope springs eternal for better mental output as we as a species evolve (if that's even true)? :rolleyes:

    4.5? LMFAO. As Curly said to Billy Crystal's character in City Slickers: "I sh*t bigger than you (that)". ;)
    Seriously though, biggest quake recorded in the lower 48 was in 1812 in New Madrid MO, estimated to be an 8.8. It supposedly (I wasn't there but JEH remembers it like it was yesterday) reversed the flow of the Mississippi River and rang church bells from Maine to New Orleans. That really would have caught your Wife's attention and destroyed her Latte.
