Life Is Like Monopoly

Fake banknotes,
Bought hotel,
Went to jail.

So funny Jack, just read Carolyn's comment about aliens!! I was quite interested in books like "The Philadelphia Experiment" or "The Bermuda Triangle"! I well belive that the US Govt still holds a number of evidences. We here have to be careful with false 50 Euro notes coming from Poland. You'll be glad to hold on the good old British Pound so!

Jack, were Barney and Betty Hill the elderly New England couple who claimed to have been abducted by aliens? If so, YES. I am very familiar with this case. I read a lot of books on UFOs and alien abductions. Embryonic Time Travelers was inspired by a book written by an abductee. She claimed they were humans from the future trying to replenish the gene pool. Love, Carolyn
