Here's a crackel barrel post from Lazarus... Message 21097544 where he says....Did you just happen to notice the numbers in there range from 20 million to 85 million? Of course he's responding to my post where in the 2nd paragraph I wrote.... A person with three neural pathways would have figured that anything in the 40-45 million range is well within the margin of error. Someone with 6 neural pathways would have jumped to the 85 million number as substantially different and would have gone to the detail to see that the number was generated over a 4 year period rather than a snapshot picture. The twenty million number requires 7 neural pathways to figure out that they were only counting workers, i.e., not individuals that may be part of a family. Laz is a real wiz. And there's no doubt that his fairy bandits thought he was so brilliant for writing... Did you just happen to notice the numbers in there range from 20 million to 85 million? jttmab P.S. "Fairy" as in the fairies of Irish lore. irelandseye.com

This description of the Irish fairy, the Dullahan reminds me of jla... The Dullahan Variants: dullaghan, far dorocha, Crom Dubh The dullahan is one of the most spectacular creatures in the Irish fairy realm and one which is particularly active in the more remote parts of counties Sligo and Down. Around midnight on certain Irish festivals or feast days, this wild and black-robed horseman may be observed riding a dark and snorting steed across the countryside. W. J. Fitzpatrick, a storyteller from the Mourne Mountains in County Down, recounts: "I seen the dullahan myself, stopping on the brow of the hill between Bryansford and Moneyscalp late one evening, just as the sun was setting. It was completely headless but it held up its own head in its hand and I heard it call out a name. I put my hand across my ears in case the name was my own, so I couldn't hear what it said. When I looked again, it was gone. But shortly afterwards, there was a bad car accident on that very hill and a young man was killed. It had been his name that the dullahan was calling". irelandseye.com It's not the Dullahan that reminds me of jla, but rather the Dullahan's steed....snorting across the countryside. jttmab

You may have you ever wondered where conservatives come from...perhaps this is the answer... The Changelings It appears that fairy women all over Ireland find birth a difficult experience. Many fairy children die before birth and those that do survive are often stunted or deformed creatures. The adult fairies, who are aesthetic beings, are repelled by these infants and have no wish to keep them. They will try to swap them with healthy children who they steal from the mortal world. The wizened, ill tempered creature left in place of the human child is generally known as a changeling and possesses the power to work evil in a household. Any child who is not baptised or who is overly admired is especially at risk of being exchanged. It is their temperament, however, which most marks the changeling. Babies are generally joyful and pleasant, but the fairy substitute is never happy, except when some calamity befalls the household. For the most part, it howls and screeches throughout the waking hours and the sound and frequency of its yells often transcend the bounds of mortal endurance. A changeling can be one of three types: actual fairy children; senile fairies who are disguised as children or, inanimate objects, such as pieces of wood which take on the appearance of a child through fairy magic. This latter type is known as a stock. [or longnshort] Puckered and wizened features coupled with yellow, parchment-like skin are all generic changeling attributes. This fairy will also exhibit very dark eyes, which betray a wisdom far older than its apparent years. Changelings display other characteristics, usually physical deformities, among which a crooked back or lame hand are common. About two weeks after their arrival in the human household, changelings will also exhibit a full set of teeth, legs as thin as chicken bones, and hands which are curved and crooked as birds' talons and covered with a light, downy hair. [Doesn't Paul Wolfowitz with dyed hair come to mind?] No luck will come to a family in which there is a changeling because the creature drains away all the good fortune which would normally attend the household. Thus, those who are cursed with it tend to be very poor and struggle desperately to maintain the ravenous monster in their midst...
