"To be or not to be..."

o The Black Shirt -- Recent Internet journalism described the train trip of a young woman in India whose infant was found on the train tracks after she used the rest room. Subsequently, a story was also disseminated about a young man found dead on trolley tracks in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, with screen-printed black jersey shirts lying nearby.

Here in Kingswood condominium complex in Stuart, FL, residents/inhabitants have apparently been included in the "mysteries" with the drop of a black t-shirt on the ground behind recycling containers near SE Ocean Boulevard. The jersey shirt has been lying there a number of weeks now, with creases browning a bit in the crumpled garment after TV-warning-status thunder-storms.

o All X-names Belong in the South -- The recent political moves of FL military-service-representative Wexler include an application of 'articles of impeachment' to the Vice-Presidency of Richard Cheney, no doubt an 'impeach or be impeached' ploy since it has come to light that the 'Collier' name as mapped among FL counties might be expediently replaced with a tropic-zone 'X-name' as a possible action perhaps operational during past decades now.

Collier Brothers published an atlas in the early 1900s which shows sinkholes-managed-as ponds labeled using the word "lake" when printing up Golden Gate Park in northern California.

o Doll-Baby Scares -- Within past months a story was printed up in a local newspaper describing a deformed toddler who was fitted with titanium ribs. Recently, a story and video were disseminated about a bus-ride where a child was stomped to death near the driver as passengers were disembarking, shrieking and crying "no, no".

References perhaps worth looking into include past articles in The Skeptical Inquirer magazine at website csicop.org, such as the September/October 2002 article titled 'Why was 'The X-Files' so appealing?' by Erich Goode; or the January/February 1997 article titled ''The X-Files' Meet the Skeptics' and other(s).
