There is a fear that has always been with the human race. No, it’s not terrorism or even war, it’s….

snakes. Humans have always feared them. Now it’s been discovered that the ability to spot snakes may actually be in our genes. We’re afraid of sharks too, and it’s hard to feel feel sorry for them but we can certainly feel sorry for their prey and global warming has warmed up the waters around Antarctica to the extent that sharks have returned to those waters?after 40 million years.

For instance, student Dixie Thoman wrote a poem about menstruation with the syllables arranged in a mathematical order known as the Fibonacci sequence. If crop circles are (as some people think) being created by ETs, then that’s often how they communicate with us.
