Sorry, I saw this and just started laughing. It's not that I don't take his ideas seriously, it's just that you said Criswell and space in the same sentence, and all I could think about is Criswell the psychic. Criswell is the name of the psychic who appears at the beginning of _Plan Nine from Outer Space_, talking about how we are all time travellers and the future is important because we will all live the rest of our lives in the future. Here are a few of his predictions from his 1968 book: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/andy_crickett/prophecy.htm >28 NOV to 21 DEC 1980 - "A sudden release of gas from a large chamber" >causes cannabalism in Pittsburgh, USA. "Over one thousand flesh-mad and >blood-crazed men will wander the streets, suddenly attacking unsuspecting >victims". >9 JUNE 1989 - Denver, Colorado is attacked by "a strange and terrible >pressure from outer space, which will cause all solids to turn into a >jelly-like mass". and my favorite one is: >1999 - 200 space colonies contain the only survivors of humanity when, on >18 AUG, all Earth's oxygen is sucked away by a mysterious force. Earth, as >a result, loses its gravity and floats off into space! I know Dr. David Criswell is not the same guy, but I was up late playing Total Annihilation last night and I'm a little loopy today... :-) Reggie Bautista _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
