Story Spotlight

I was browsing through the line-ups of some upcoming skeptical conferences today, and noticed how they regularly get a few 'notables' at their meetings who support the cause (for example, magicians Penn & Teller and their support of the James Randi Educational Foundation). Which got me thinking: who are the well-known people out there with a predilection for the weird stuff? Who do you think would enjoy reading The Daily Grail? Let's crowd-source this and see who we can come up with - add anybody you can think of in the comments, and if a worthy contender I'll add them to the list below (generally have to show prolonged interest in a topic, rather than just mentioning it off-hand). I'll start with a few and y'all can bombard me with new additions:

  • Dan Aykroyd (Actor/Comedian) - UFOs, The Paranormal
  • William Gibson (Author) - Forteana
  • Danny Carey (Musician) - Occult
  • Rhys Darby (Actor/Comedian) - Cryptozoology
  • Edgar Mitchell (Apollo Astronaut) - UFOs, Noetic Science
  • Arj Barker (Comedian) - UFOs
  • Alan Moore (Writer) - Occult

Who else you got?

Quote of the Day:

You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.
