That's AWESOME!! Funniest image I've had in a long time.

As far as the OP, I, too, am voting for the booga booga. I will always vote on the side of booga booga.

I would be careful of mummies SF...as seen in the old movies..no matter how fast you run and how slowly they amble along..

They always catch you!! :mrgreen:

Hey we are going down the four students spending a night in a creepy house road...

''hey there are big claws and growls coming out of the basement trap door..let's go have a look!''

''What's that man doing on the ceiling?''..''There is a cave there with dismembered human body parts on poles..let's go see''

And the damn car never starts!!..:lamo

or they never have a cell phone signal. :lol: I swear, sometimes I'm surprised that any teenagers are left alive in horror films.

They don't usually make it...do you like horror films?

I prefer the ones that have a story..not just a psychopath running round with a chainsaw..I quite like gothic..

My two favorites are ''Haunted'' and the ''Turn of the screw'...

 

[Dittohead not!]

Mystery solved! Manchester Museum's spinning ancient Egyptian statue isn't cursed - Home News - UK - The Independent

And now ITV's Mystery Map programme claims to have solved the conundrum, backing Prof Cox's explanation. Their expert Steve Gosling put three-axis vibration sensors under the cabinet, and found a peak vibration level - coinciding with movement from passers-by and traffic from the very busy Oxford Road nearby.

He said: "The vibration is a combination of multiple sources so there's buses outside on the busy road, there's footfall activity. And it's all of those things combined.

"This statue has a convex base. There's a lump at the bottom which makes it more susceptible to vibrations than the others which have a flat base.

"This is conclusive."
