Mysteries of our age: I can think of at least three off the top of

[hedgehog]

my head. They're all pretty serious:

Who Killed JFK?

What happened to Jimmy Hoffa?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Can you add your favorite?

[Mythsaje]

1. D.B. Cooper? n/t

[timeforpeace]

2. Appeal of disco.

[rwheeler31]

3. Why are cartoons so ugly?

[LaydeeBug]

4. dare I say it?

9-11. We have not fully investigated 9-11, and while I'm not all looney about it, a dignified investigation with full subpoena power ought be encouraged,

[hedgehog]

6. I think certain events that day were never examined.

Apparently, Dick Cheney was giving orders from the bunker. And why did George spend the day hopping from hiding place to hiding place. Sure sounds like LIHOP, but when it happened, it was way bigger then they expected, so they panicked. (As in, Al-Quada took out both Twin Tower and the Pentagon and almost got another plane to DC, maybe they have an assassination squad out there!)

[tavalon]

43. At the risk of sending this to the dungeon,

I agree.

[Mind_your_head]

5. Who planned, perpetrated, implemented the events of Sept. 11, 2001

and WHY? For what purpose?

Why have those people never been identified and "brought to justice" for that massacre.

[troubledamerican]

48. Why didn't Democrats care about the Anthrax Attacks for 7+ yrs? AND who really did it?

[Mind_your_head]

52. GREAT QUESTION. So many un-answered questions....

if the answer was "honest & true" it would have been answered already by now, wouldn't it?

So OBVIOUSLY, the answer to your question is NOT "honest & true". Deceit is in the 'air', at EVERY turn.

[Sancho]

7. Who (what) sent this radio signal?

"wow"

[Atticus]

8. Who was Jeff Gannon's "client" at the White House? nt

[WCGreen]

9. Why Brittney made it big and Christina Arugula didn't...

[jennygirl]

34. I Think it May be that Britney is More of a Performer

She "sings" (barely can) but she can dance(quite well) at the same time also to compensate for her weak vocal range. However, Christina has the complete opposite problem she can match any soul or R & B singer to the T, but she cannot dance. She just stands there and sings.

[rosesaylavee]

10. Here are mine:

Who killed JFK?

Who killed RFK?

Who killed MLK?

How was the 2000 election stolen?

Who was involved with 911 and why?

And how were they able to make Cheney look so alive these past 8 years?

[hedgehog]

12. How about, just how influential is the Skull and Bones Society?

[rosesaylavee]

13. And the Family and the Carlisle Group...

[hedgehog]

21. How about, why has no one ever looked very hard for who

arranged the murder of MLK? I never could figure out how James Earl Ray got himself out of the country so fast. Foreign travel just wasn't as casual back then as it is now. Someone arranged for him to leave the country.

[Jane Austin]

28. Check into this book by Thoma Hartmann and Lamar Waldron.

"Legacy of Secrecy/The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination" (Counterpoint, 848 pages, $33), by Lamar Waldron with Thom Hartmann: A new, heavily researched book on John F. Kennedy's murder and its investigation sees links with a bagful of sensational stories, from President Johnson's fear of a nuclear attack by the Soviets to the killing of Martin Luther King Jr.

11. Who got the $500 billion, Chairman Bernanke?

[virgogal]

14. Who robbed the Gardner Museum and where are the paintings?

[sam sarrha]

15. like why hasn't the GOP been recognized as a dangerous Psychotic Narcissistic cult by now

[hfojvt]

16. Why do you think Hoffa is such a big mystery?

He was killed by the mob. The murderer was never caught, but I would bet there are thousands of unsolved murders every year. Real life is not as easy as NCIS.

edit: I am also still wondering who put the bomp in the bomp bomp bomp?

[Horse with no Name]

17. Yep. His body is enshrined in concrete somewhere

Not a huge mystery, that one.

[hedgehog]

20. Well, it's agreed that the Mob killed him, and some people can

probably make a fair guess as to who was directly involved, but where he was buried? who knows?

[Horse with no Name]

22. My guess is Giants Stadium

Been reading a lot about one of my huge heroes when I was a kid lately since the death of Cronkite (Don Bolles).
You just don't fuck with them.:(

[hfojvt]

31. and what difference does it make?

unlike the Kennedy or King assassinations, the group behind it did not really change the course of history. It's a mystery, but what makes it more important than the missing woman in the Kansas City area or the missing TV reporter from Mason City, Iowa or any other open story from "48 Hours Mystery"?

[hedgehog]

47. The association of the Teamsters Union with organized crime

was part of the downfall of the unions. In a lot of people's minds. if that union was run by and for crooks, they all were.

[Lex]

18. What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

[Mind_your_head]

19. Very few Rec's........

Buried w/in the thinly veiled :sarcasm: are very good, valid questions.

Rec it up, folks! (imho)

............

On edit: I don't have to "self-delete" b/c someone(s) made this thread <0. It must be 'so cool' to be "you" (whomever you are).

[Control-Z]

38. There.

I just sent it to the greatest page. (At least for a moment.)

[Mind_your_head]

51. Thank you ......eom

[baldguy]

23. Who made profits short-selling airline stocks before 9-11?

Who sent the anthrax?
What did Bush know & when did he know it?

[IDemo]

24. Here's a mystery of our times:

[hyphenate]

25. Is it swamp gas, or alien life forms?

How the hell did GWB graduate from kindergarten, never mind high school or college?

Why haven't we invented something useful to stop mosquitoes from biting the living crap out of us? (I've been their prime rib for several weeks now, already!)

Paper or plastic?

To be, or not to be?

Call or fold?

[MannyGoldstein]

27. Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?

Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?

[timeforpeace]

29. Why the dearth of armageddon-type impacts from space rocks and comets?

Jupiter has all the fun.

[Mariana]

32. Jupiter has all that gravity.

It grabs most of them before they ever get this far.

Unfair, I know, but that's how it is.

[Confusious]

30. When will I get a date?

I've been a little busy.

[Control-Z]

33. Crop Circles

I want to know who the artist(s) is (are), and how the crop circle designs are executed. The most recent I've seen have been stunning!

[leftstreet]

35. Wallabies, high on opium

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31539546

'High as a kite’ wallabies blamed for crop circles

Australian marsupials wreak havoc after munching on opium poppies

SYDNEY, Australia - Wallabies snacking in Tasmania's legally grown opium poppy fields are getting "high as a kite" and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, a state official said.

Tasmania Attorney-General Lara Giddings told a budget hearing Wednesday that she had recently read about the kangaroo-like marsupials' antics in a brief on the state's large poppy industry. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," The Mercury newspaper quoted Giddings as telling the hearing. "Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."

:rofl:

[Control-Z]

37. LOL.

Just ask a Duer.
:rofl:

[proteus_lives]

36. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Where on earth can she be?

[XemaSab]

39. Seriously? What is the FULL involvement of the CIA abroad?

I am surprised it's still an extant agency.

[SleeplessInAlabama]

40. Why do fools fall in love? n/t

[SmileyRose]

41. Will OJ ever find the real killer?

[DaveinJapan]

42. Here's mine (any speculation would be great, too!)...

What makes all the Presidents' hair turn grey so quickly?

And I definitely don't buy "stressful job" as an answer, they can chill pretty much whenever they want to (look at Bush!) and live in the lap of luxury. Plus there are plenty of CEO's in "high stress" jobs that keep their color just fine (certainly not GONE within 4-8 years!).

[HamdenRice]

44. Was Sirhan Sirhan a Manchurean candidate?

It seems to me that JFK's assassination is pretty well unraveled. RFK's is down the rabbit hole bizarre.

[AwakeAtLast]

45. Area 51

Still under the radar for the most part. :shrug:

[dysfunctional press]

46. where is ken lay?

[GaYellowDawg]

49. What happened to my keys?

Where's my wallet?

Who turned the lights off?!?

[lpbk2713]

50. Here

[nadinbrzezinski]

53. The Family, Dominionism and how that is connected to the

power structure

Whew that is a mouthfull
