Telepathic Football Threatens Chilean Teens
VILLA SAN RAFAEL, Chile (Wireless Flash) -- Forget Bigfoot or the Mothman. The newest paranormal creature is a four-legged football.
Believe it or not, a creature matching that exact description has been sighted threatening teenagers in Villa San Rafael, Chile.
Researchers at the Calama UFO Center in Chile claim the mysterious menace has wings, a face like a large bulldog and is "shaped like a rugby football with legs."
Paranormal researcher Dr. Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo isn't sure if the creature is one of those goat-sucking chupacabras, but admits both animals telepathically communicate with humans.
The winged football is just one of hundreds of strange creatures that have been terrorizing Chile since 1999 and Dr. Sanchez-Ocejo suspects the mysterious beings are entering Chile through a dimensional doorway.

Hi ~ I'm not sure what a rookery is...sounds like something that goes on in Las Vegas:)
To: GoodyBrown
A rookery is where a bunch of birds mate and nest as a group.

Hi ~ Frenchglen is still much as it was 20 and maybe more years ago. But the Frenchglen Hotel was 'bread and breakfasted' a bit ago. Civil war broke out over that:)
To: GoodyBrown
I think the hotel had a historical marker on it when I went through there...Fields and Denio down the road are interesting places too......

A rookery is where rooks nest, one usually sees thirty or forty large nests high up in tall trees. You do not have Rooks in America but you have crows which are related.
They are very common in England.

We have a big blue heron nesting site close to me. It's called a blue heron rookery...I know about the rooks in Britain and the rook rifles they use to have there...
Maybe it's just the Yanks screwing up the Queens english, lol

Have a good booze up 'night and see ya at the curry takeaway, or 'da pub after the dogtrack ;-) You make a fine job of talking like a cockney habs and I congratulate you on your learning . I wish I had your talent for the vernacular. But moving in the Society of my peers I never did get the chance to acquire that skill. :)
