Might want to recheck your article links - a bunch don't seem to work - for me at least.

I wonder who amongst the Daily Grail crew has already or is going to be the first to buy a Fabber/Maker/Krell machine/Replicator/3-d printer?

and then what do you think will be the first thing you try to build?

I really don't think many people buy the line of BS on this show, however I admit it is my guilty pleasure it is entertaining, but unlikely in many cases. That is not to say I don't believe aliens "could have" interfered in humanity's upbringing in some way, perhaps belief is really enough...

...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

I think that's the main idea for the show. And for the discerning viewer, to find the 0.1% of valuable stuff amid the 99.9% of unsubstantiated speculation —because that 0.1% is worth the effort ;)

Unnecessary question of the day: Do they come to the door to borrow sugar?

Salt, NO! ;)

This time out, at least, a GENUINE art expert was enlisted to bring a gloss of authority to this latest theory.  Last time out, in the 2005 Scotsman article that brought the Rosslyn Motet to the world stage, a bogus expert was enlisted.

Here is an excerpt: ”James Cunningham, author of The Medieval Diatonic Scale, has seen Mr Mitchell’s manuscripts from the chapel. He said: “I believe this is an excellent interpretation of the symbolism of the stone arches in Rosslyn Chapel. It is a stroke of genius to have discovered the cadences which inspired the music.’”

Mr. Cunningham has yet to be found, after seven years of looking …

It does not bode well for the credibility of Scottish art experts, however, when Richard Demarco claims to have “examined this portrait many times but never realised what was written on that bit of paper,” while you and I can find out more with a simple Google search — information that has been known to the art world for an astonishing 107 years.

In Demarco's defense, though, he was probably ambushed.
