What do you guys think of this? I find it strange how they say quote: As part of the experiments, more of the experimental time portals will be activated today around the city. We are working with Astrologists to tune them
Activate a Time Portal? What, do they have a Magic Wand? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, just realistic. Also I find their questions a bit excessive, and redundant. Shouldn't the background of the test subjects be anonymous? Coming from a scientific background, if you choose/select your subjects based on any characteristics, you are introducing bias into an experiment. Click Here for Ad IP: Logged |

Also, they should be working with Astrologers, not Astrologists. IP: Logged |

hate to say it but unless i knew the people i would not go near this. they could be a cover for something else, or just seriously inept at what they are trying to do...i dunno though it is very curious-making isn't it? not sure i like the ? about if you could go to any one time AND NOT COME BACK...?? and i agree astrologists is a weird misnomer - and makes me even more suspicious that they are not who they say they are at all...

Nephthys,I think it is a cover-up for something else. It might be some kind of "market research" to see how many people have activated their pineal gland (third eye) and what better place to go than Craiglist where there are high numbers of visitors? IP: Logged |

It might be a test to see how naive and gullible folks can be....or worse, a brain washing experiment. Either way...seems to be a possible marketing ploy/study to find ways to market and sell crap to folks.IP: Logged |

Ok, yeah, thanks everyone, everything about it seems so illegitimate. Please don't think I was interested at all!!! ha ha ha NO WAY. I check that board for Biology jobs every day and saw it. I also find it absurd that they ask how you feel about the President? Scarey. Way overboard. IP: Logged |

I am a pretty private person online, as far as forums like this and social networking, so why on earth would I answer so many private, personal questions like that, for an organization that doesn't even give their name.........and just has an ad on Craigslist? I hope many people don't fall for it. IP: Logged |

quote: whats the mars hoax thing?
quote: The Mutating Mars Hoax August 25, 2010: It spreads, it mutates, it refuses to die.For the seventh year in a row, the Mars Hoax is infecting email boxes around the world. Passed from one reader to another, the message states that on August 27th Mars will approach Earth and swell to the size of a full Moon. "NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN," the email declares--always in caps. News flash: It's not true. Here are the facts. On August 27, 2010, Mars will be 314 million km from Earth, about as far away as it can get. Mars will shine in the western sky after sunset like a tiny red star of ordinary brightness. If you didn't know it was there, you probably wouldn't notice. The only way to see Mars as large as the full Moon is to board a spaceship The origins of the Hoax can be traced back to 2003 when Mars really did swell to unusual proportions. On August 27th of that year, Mars came within 56 million km of Earth—the nearest it has been in 60,000 years. People marveled at the orange brilliance of Mars in the night sky and crowded around telescopes for clear views of the planet's towering volcanoes, ruddy plains and glistening polar ice caps. At the height of the display, Mars was about 75 times smaller than the full Moon. That's when "the virus" was born. Someone, somewhere, reasoned as follows: If Mars is 75 times smaller than the Moon, then magnifying it 75 times should make it equal to the Moon. Early versions of the Hoax encouraged readers to get out their telescopes and insert a 75x eyepiece: "At a modest 75 times magnification," the message stated, "Mars will look as big as the full Moon to the naked eye." Soon, the Hoax was vectoring around the internet, making copies of itself and mutating. Advanced versions of the virus, sleeker and less wordy than its ancestors, omitted the magnification and simply stated, "Mars will look as big as the full Moon to the naked eye!" Before long, the year was omitted, too. August 27, 2003, became August 27, and the Hoax became immortal. Indeed, years of stories contradicting the Hoax have failed to stamp it out. This is the fourth vaccination by Science@NASA alone. Tolerant readers point out that the Mars Hoax is not really a hoax, because it is not an intentional trick. The original composer probably believed everything he or she wrote in the message. If so, even the name of the Mars Hoax is wrong! Here's what you should do on August 27th. Go outside at sunset and face west. The bright light you see shining through the twilight is lovely Venus. Grab a pair of binoculars and scan the sky around Venus. A few degrees to the right, you'll come across a little orange star-like object. That is Mars. Now go back inside and delete that email.
quote: Beware the Mars Hoax Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter--but not as close as some people think.July 7, 2005: Just when you thought it was safe to read your email.... There's a rumor about Mars going around the internet. Here are some snippets from a widely-circulated email message: "The Red Planet is about to be spectacular." "Earth is catching up with Mars [for] the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history." "On August 27th … Mars will look as large as the full moon." And finally, "NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN." Only the first sentence is true. The Red Planet is about to be spectacular. The rest is a hoax. Here are the facts: Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter this year on October 30th at 0319 Universal Time. Distance: 69 million kilometers. To the unaided eye, Mars will look like a bright red star, a pinprick of light, certainly not as wide as the full Moon. Disappointed? Don't be. If Mars did come close enough to rival the Moon, its gravity would alter Earth's orbit and raise terrible tides.
Sixty-nine million km is good. At that distance, Mars shines brighter than anything else in the sky except the Sun, the Moon and Venus. The visual magnitude of Mars on Oct. 30, 2005, will be -2.3. Even inattentive sky watchers will notice it, rising at sundown and soaring overhead at midnight. You might remember another encounter with Mars, about two years ago, on August 27, 2003. That was the closest in recorded history, by a whisker, and millions of people watched as the distance between Mars and Earth shrunk to 56 million km. This October's encounter, at 69 million km, is similar. To casual observers, Mars will seem about as bright and beautiful in 2005 as it was in 2003. Although closest approach is still months away, Mars is already conspicuous in the early morning. Before the sun comes up, it's the brightest object in the eastern sky, really eye-catching. If you have a telescope, even a small one, point it at Mars. You can see the bright icy South Polar Cap and strange dark markings on the planet's surface.
