This Monday, March 31st, marks the 160th anniversary of the Hydesville rappings brought forth by the Fox sisters. How are you going to celebrate (take advantage) of this date?

Maybe we should table this discussion? Rap it up?

I listen to the toe popping rap of Debbie Harry.
(She had the first #1 Rap song in 1980 with Rapture, 2nd if you count Lorne Greens' Ringo which hit #1 in 1964.) |

"What's your drug?" she asked. "Hope" he said, "The most addicting one of all."

National Tap Day is in May, for those with twitchy feet.

Is there a National Toe-cracking Day?
Maybe that should be on March 31st as well? |

I've asked Raymond Hill to say hello to Katie and Maggie for me.

I thought I had a message from Katie this morning, then I realized it was just my Rice Krispies.

Careful Tony. That could have been a message from a cereal killer.

Todd, I'd pay for "Professor Robbins' Curious Calendar of Dubious Dates" if you ever publish one.
But I'd much rather see Insectavora and Kiva as examples of photo subjects to go with the fantastic facts. No offense to you or your dashing good looks. (My wife made me type the last line.) Chris |

Rotten.com used to have a section called "This Day in Rotten History". I don't know if they still do. Dubious dates were a specialty.

Seeing as how it's on a Monday this year - shouldn't there be a moment of silence, or lack thereof, at Monday Night Magic?

I would do something special for the day, but I have found that Spiritualism is not all it is cracked up to be.

And the sisters came to bad ends...pauper's graves and such. Sad really. Not really fitting for the founders of a movement.
I would have loved to have seen their toe-cracking in play. I have often pondered while skeptically viewing "Ghost Hunters" if mere gastronomical sounds silently emitting from the Ghost Hunters" themselves is mistaken for digital sound recordings of ghosts later in the show. Oh how I want to see a ghost. Todd is going to show us some next year I hope. |

I had the distinctive pleasure of going through the House of Seven Gables, with several of the most well-known ghost hunters.
Two of them, in each room, had private conversation about "Did you see that?", and "There wasn't any way we could have known that, right?" Each emanation they saw, had been mentioned about two rooms previously, either by our tourguide, or on a plaque. Inside my head, there was howling laughter. Outside, a calm demeanor. It hasn't been easy, but I have learned a little about being diplomatic.
