That's one of the things they used to advertise it for.

Ooh. . cigarette science--or what they call science, I should say.

Hollow Earth theories posit that the planet Earth has a hollow interior and, possibly, a habitable inner surface. At one time, adventure literature made this idea popular, and it was a feature of many fantasy and science fiction works as well as some conspiracy theories.

Scientology is a body of teachings and techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard over thirty years beginning in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.

In parapsychology, spirituality and New Age belief, an aura is a subtle field of luminous multicolored radiation surrounding a person or object as a cocoon or halo. An aura may be held to represent or be composed of soul vibrations or chakras, and may reflect the moods or thoughts of the person it surrounds.

The earth is hollow??!!

My all-time favorite name for a "Star Trek" episode:

"For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"

The episode itself was pretty good, too.

Where do you find all this stuff, Sarge?

[High Lord Tolkien]

Think about where he works.
Who knows what oddities he knows or hears about!!!
And he only tells us the clean stuff.

If you can find it read the book Etidorhpa. Interesting story about the hollow earth and things we aren't advanced enough to know about.

You, my friend Sheol, appear to qualify as a lurker.

How come you're not in the Lurker Thread?

In Hebrew, ²² Sheol (שאול, Sh'ol) is the "abode of the dead", the "underworld", "the common grave of humankind" or "pit".[1] In the Hebrew Bible, it is a place where both the bad and the good, slave and king, pious and wicked must go at the point of death.[2] Sheol is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead, as recounted in Ecclesiastes and Job.

Sheol is sometimes compared to Hades, the gloomy, twilight afterlife of Greek mythology. The word "hades" was in fact substituted for "sheol" when the Hebrew scriptures were translated into Greek (see Septuagint). The New Testament (written in Greek) also uses "hades" to refer to the abode of the dead.

By the second century BC, Jews who accepted the Oral Torah had come to believe that those in sheol awaited the resurrection either in comfort (in the bosom of Abraham) or in torment. This belief is reflected in Jesus' story of Lazarus and Dives. At that time Jews who rejected the Oral Torah believed that Sheol meant simply the grave.

Anglicans, who do not share a concept of "hades" with the Eastern Orthodox, have traditionally translated "sheol" (and "hades") as "hell" (for example in the King James Version). However, to avoid confusion of what are separate concepts in the Bible, modern English versions of the Bible tend either to transliterate the word sheol or to use an alternative term such as the "grave" (e.g. the NIV). Roman Catholics generally translate "sheol" as "death."

Wow, all this attention.

I don't get to post as much as I like but I try. Just trying to get used to all of this new fangled technology that has just gotten to Wyoming. Have you all used this electricity yet? Wow. Just traded in the old icebox last week for some evil "refridgerator" contraption.

Are you kidding? From what I understand the high school I went to still has a coal burning furnace and asbestos insulation on the ceilings. "We don't need them new fangled gadets 'round here, this richt here suits us down to the ground" - At least that's what I'm told. But then again, our principal was well known for patrolling the only hallway with a big plug of RedMan chewing tobacco in his mouth, and some days drove to school on his tractor. (I'm not making that up)
