What It Means To Dream Of Brassieres

Obviously, there are two different ways to interpret a dream of brassieres. For men, dreaming of brassieres is a warning: be on guard against unexpected overtures by friends and associates. For women, dreaming of bras means a welcome rise in social activities is about to take place.

Dear Doc Paranormal:

As an observer of all things strange and paranormal, what in your opinion was the scariest event of 2009? I admit there's a lot to choose from, because it was a pretty rough year.

2009 Winner: Best Video To Travel With Via Astral Plane

In 2009, when traveling via the astral plane to visit my mum, I was never without "Roll With The Punches" by Peverelist. The clip is only five or so minutes long, which is okay in my case, because I live in the flat above her. I know it would be faster to simply walk downstairs and pummel her door, but that would be "paranormal" then, would it?

BTW: If you're planning a lengthy out-of-body experience, as musical accompaniment, I suggest Dopesmoker by Sleep.

Yemen Invaded! By Evil Worms.

From Environmental Graffitti:

Up until now the list of worms that has made men curse with fear has pretty much been limited to tape worms.
Well…add another one to that list: the screw worm.

Like something out of a horror movie, screw worm females go after the bare flesh, laying 250-300 eggs in a host. When you feel that itch, whatever you do, don’t scratch it. The reason why they’re called screw worms is that the maggots will only burrow deeper, causing tissue damage and even death.
Ok, so you might be thinking this environmental blog is exaggerating things a bit, right? Wrong.
Once hatched, the maggots feed off the live flesh and fall down to the ground, where they pupate. The pupae reach adulthood 7 days later. They can then mate and lay over 4,000 eggs. They can also fly 125 miles, bringing their offspring and the plague inland.
Yemen, which has experienced a huge coastal outbreak of the evil screw worm is desperate for international aid. A Ministerial delegation was at the IAEA in Vienna, Austria, to seek emergency assistance to fight the evil worm.
However in Yemen, humans being affected by the pests is not the biggest problem. The vast majority who turn into “living hosts” are usually very young, old or infirm. The main problem is livestock.
“There are about 20,000 cases of livestock affected. Most of these are sheep and goats,” says Mansoor AlQadasi, General Director of the Central Veterinarian Laboratory. With increasing food costs, and mouths to feed, this is a huge problem that threatens the traditional way of life.
It is hoped that like the outbreak in Libya in 1988, the international community will give aid and help eradicate the insects. One possible approach that worked successfully in Libya and South America is effectively to turn the insects against themselves: birth control on a massive scale. The approach entails using radiation to breed hundreds of thousands of sterile male screw worms, and reintroducing them into the wild.
If aid can be generated we might be able to screw over the screw worm, before they screw us.

Was Nigerian Terrorist Innocent Victim of Black Magic Spell?

Nigeria is a modern nation with all the accouterments of Western civilization, from internet access to cell phones and other high-tech gadgets. Yet alongside this sophisticated society exists a shadow world of traditional beliefs. Including black magic or juju.



As London-based essayist Tokunbo Ogunbiyi wrote in the August 7, 2003 issue of Nigeria World, "The Nigerian is of course deeply spiritual. A plethora of local deities are believed to guide and guard every facet of life amongst the various ethnic nationalities. Yoruba have Sango the god of thunder who is believed is able at the request of properly briefed priest to visit in an appropriate fashion, the enemies of a person whose dignity has been injured, no need for any learned trial judge here! Among Ndigbo the guardianship of Chi or the ancestral spirit of a person is well understood...


"It should therefore come as no surprise that although Nigeria is fascinated with western democracy and has a sophisticated educated elite some from the finest academies all over the world, there is occasional recourse to the application of "other means" for enhancing the democratic process as well as other aspects of life. In the well understood belief that where the usual human processes fail, then the gods cannot fail if they are asked to intervene."



It is also a fact of life in this powerful nation that many suspect the elite of using black magic to obtain and keep their riches and power. Witness these two recent posts from a pan African chat room:

#1 "Do you still believe in Juju?.. Juju or black magic used to be very potent in Nigeria especially in the 80s and 90s. This include blood money and spiritual attacks. Many people could sacrifice their wives and children just to make money. these people were killed and their blood converted into money. the money they say keeps coming as long as you continue to perform human sacrifice. many rich people in Nigeria are at times accused of using blood money. Many people always go in for Juju just for protection and sometimes for fame. Another form of Juju is witchcraft which is believed to be the lowest rank in terms of Juju powers. You could kill your enemies with juju or you could make their lives miserable with Juju. with Juju, you do not attack the person physically and hence the law cannot punish you. I learned recently that Juju is on the rise in Nigeria because many people want to become rich and escape poverty. do you still believe in Juju?.. do you believe in supernatural powers at all?"

#2 "Thank you my brother. This thing is becoming serious in Nigeria. Just yesterday someone killed the mother because he suspected that the mother was using his soul for juju. Anything at all that goes wrong in Nigeria today is attributed to Juju and nobody is ready to accept any reasonable explanation. Some people refuse to work and therefore remain poor. Others work hard and become rich. Those people who refuse to work hard will then refer to those who work hard as using them for money ritual."

American authorities currently suspect alleged "crotch bomber" Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab of ties to Islamic terrorist groups. But his father, Umara Abdul Mutallab, former chairman of Nigeria's First Bank, PLC, is a rich and powerful man. Given possibility that Umara's enemies may have used juju undermine his authority by causing his son to do great harm while under a spell, shouldn't the FBI and CIA investigate the black magic connection? Even if it's only remote possibility?

And if the U.S. won't do it, will Nigerian authorities step in?

Nigerian Soothsayer Predicts 3 Plane Crashes in 2010!

Prominent Nigerian soothsayer Primate Ayodele has issued his 201o predictions including the blockbuster prophecy that there will be 3 plane crashes in 2010!

The predictions, reported by Olajiire Ishola in the Saturday, December 26 issue of the Nigerian newspaper, The Sun, were made prior to the recent terrorist attempt by a Nigerian citizen.

Ayodele claims his 2009 predictions were 80% accurate--and that he foresaw Michael Jackson's death 2 days before it happened.

Other 2010 predictions by Primate Ayodele:

*Former British P.M. Tony Blair will face a crisis.
*Another deadly disease will shake the world.
*Nigeria will not get into the World Cup semi-finals.
*Coca-Cola (Nigeria) will introduce a new product.
