The Daily Grail Turns 14
Posted by Greg at 02:46, 03 Sep 2012
Over the weekend, The Daily Grail website turned 14. Which, in internet website years, is about 420 years old. So if ever you think we're looking a bit haggard, keep in mind that we've been doing this a looooong time. Back in the 1990s, site updates were done a bit different - every post, every archived month and so on, was done *manually*, via FTP and the like.
A big thanks to all those who have contributed to the site over the years, from the most-excellent admins to the every-day commenters. Massive props as well to the invisible David, who does all sorts of computery things out the back to keep the site running smoothly, which none of us ever notice. But mostly, my loving thanks to my wife Tonita, and children Isis, Phoenix and Maya, who suffer daily for my 'hobby' through a lack of money and a missing husband/dad.
If the site is useful to you, please consider donating a few dollars a year as a 'voluntary subscription', via the PayPal block below (also permanently on the right of the page). If all regular readers dropped the price of a coffee on the site - in return for 52 weeks of solid information and news - it would enable us to improve the site even further.
Your support is appreciated!
And in case you've missed any of it, here's a sampling of just some of the content we've posted in only the last three weeks:
- Not Feeling the Future: New Bem Replication Fails to Find Evidence of Psi
- Swedish Team Hunts for Ghost Rocket UFOs
- This Man Was a Psychic Spy for the U.S. Government

The same place my hair does, I guess! I remember stumbling upon the Grail searching for Graham Hancock related news. Those were the golden days for alternative archaeology!
1998. Wow. Here's to another 14 years... er, maybe not, I'll be 53. I think I'll just focus on the next 14 months instead. ;-)

Congratulations, Greg. You've performed a great service with this website--probably the best of its kind. Hope it continues for (at least) another 14 years.

Bansai! Bansai!! Bansai!!!
Being a cash and carry guy without access to electronic money, I haven't been able to personally donate to TDG; but, over the years, I've been able to get you between 10 and 20 new members from Japan and other places where I have contacts and, along with their donations, I have been able to donate through some of them. My donations through them haven't been big; but, I've been able to donate about JPY5,000 per year! In any case, new members is one thing that I can get you!
Long Live The Daily Grail!!!
What do you think?

If only we could find one with the form of James Randi :P
(I kid, I kid)
Being a Grailer has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Here's hoping TDG continues being a lighting beacon for the Excluded Middle in the Fortean blogosphere.
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...
It's all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!
