Chicago, Astronomy & Astrophysics Lines: 16 People, these "phenomena" are deliberate *tricks* and you are either pulling our legs or being taken in yourself. At Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca there is (or was ~15 years ago) a so-called Haunted Shack where all these illusions could be seen -- gravity not vertical, water running uphill, people's heights changing as they moved about a room. Please, give us none of this "disinterest of the established scientific community" incantation. Be at least as critical of the charlatans and hucksters as you are of the scientists. The exercise will be good for you. After all, there are many other groups of people in the world who are also trying to fool you with a fast patter and a slick image. _____________________________________________________ Matt University crawford@anl-mcs.arpa Crawford of Chicago ihnp4!oddjob!matt
