I knew it would be a bad idea to screw around with that Atlantean pyramid in nearby Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This is going to get a crypto ping, because it is very similar to the story of Springheel Jack.

Today it's UFOs and Bigfoot, but in 18th century England, everyone's favorite mystery was Springheel Jack. Allegedly, he was a tall, powerful man with superhuman jumping abilities (it was once said he jumped over an eight foot-tall fence and escaped when cornered by the autorities) and burning red eyes (and according to some, the ability to breathe fire). He was known to violently attack women and would try to rip off their clothes with "his long, sharp claws."

The Springheel Jack legend is largely forgotten, but believe it or not, sightings have continued to this day. Could there be a connection...?

Well, makes for a good story, anyway.

There’s a photo of a flying horse floating around the ‘net too. The image is floating I mean, not the horse. Well, the horse too, actually.

Or the Mad Gasser of Mattoon! ;’)

Since this was a sighting of something flying — Superman — perhaps NASA should be told about it.

I’ll call the Cape.

Actually I was thinking that somebody chose the other colored capsule when Morpheus offered....Or perhaps the Matrix is just undergoing some renovations....
