Is there life after bodily death?
The story of the "death" of the 20th-century philosopher, Alfred Jules (A. J.) Ayer, is becoming legendary. When the renowned atheist choked on a piece of salmon in 1988 in a British hospital, he went into cardiac arrest and technically died for four minutes.

A chupie meme
Roughly fifteen or so years ago, we were getting reports of a creature with red glowing eyes, a spiky ridge thing on its back, bipedal, and sucking the blood completely out of rabbits, chickens and other animals.
