    The 27 Club is an informal list consisting mostly of popular musicians, often expanded by artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27. Although the claim of a "statistical spike" for the death of musicians at that age has been refuted by scientific research, it remains a cultural phenomenon, with many celebrities who die at 27 noted for their high-risk lifestyles. The 27 Club has fascinated music fans for decades, charting the history of talented artists who sadly passed away at the age of 27. Although there were several high-profile deaths aged 27 from 1969 to 1971, it wasn't until Kurt Cobain's passing in 1994 that the notion of the '27 Club' gained notoriety. But who are the most famous 'members' of this tragic group? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2EcmWmeoho

      January 1976 .. On a warm summer's night in the street I grew up in a young 8 yr old girl named Eloise Worledge was abducted from her bedroom window and never seen again. She would now be 56 yrs old. I was 10 at the time . It remains one of the most baffling cold cases in Australia. Parents in the suburbs surrounding pretty much locked us kids up for a while ,, i recall police searching through our backyard ..Eloise went to our primary school where it's now been revealed at least 4 paedophile teachers came and went, yet those still surviving have not been drawn on this case ... All very creepy stuff! Her father originally was implicated but naturally dismissed ..Children in the local area were not sleeping well after that ,the ripple effects are with some forever ..I still to this day do not sleep with my bedroom window open.

          The Patanela mystery It's Australia's most baffling maritime mystery. A ship thought to be virtually indestructible vanishing without a trace just 10 nautical miles off the coast of Sydney. There was no distress call, no debris was ever found and no oil slick. The Patanela, a twin-masted, steel-hulled schooner on its way to North Queensland with four people on board. Not a trace of them has ever been found.

          Frederick Valentich was an Australian pilot who disappeared while on a 125-nautical-mile (232 km) training flight in a Cessna 182L light aircraft, over Bass Strait. On the evening of Saturday 21 October 1978, twenty-year-old Valentich informed Melbourne air traffic control that he was being accompanied by an aircraft about 1,000 feet (300 m) above him and that his engine had begun running roughly, before finally reporting: "It's not an aircraft." There were belated reports of a UFO sighting in Australia on the night of the disappearance.

          Thanks for expounding these 2 mysteries, I remember lifebuoy marked “Patanela, Fremantle” plucked from the waters off Terrigal NSW Central Coast the following year and the message in a bottle found in 2007, almost 20 years after the boat disappeared. I also enjoyed reading the 'Five Men Vanished: The Bermagui Mystery' regarding the disappearance of geologist Lamont Young and his party in 1880 near Bermagui NSW south coast during the rough and tumble gold rush days. Their boat is found in mysterious circumstances it becomes clear that they have not all disappeared voluntarily. No trace of the men was ever found and their fate remains a mystery to this day.

          20 years later, a ghostly 'message in a bottle' was found from one of the crew on a beach in the Great Australian Bight by a beachcomber. The 'message in a bottle' is from Patanela crewman John Blissett. In faded blue handwriting inside a Bacardi bottle, it was found on a secluded beach near Eucla on the southern coast of Western Australia. It was written by John Blissett, 23, of Taree, NSW, as he and three others sailed Patanela from Fremantle across the great Australian Bight on October 26, 1988. The note in a bottle sheds no light on what happened. Rather, it offers a sailing holiday to the lucky finder. “Hi there - out here in the lonely Southern Ocean and thought we would give away a free holiday in the Whitsunday Islands in north Queensland, Australia.” John wrote. “Our ship is travelling from Fremantle, Western Aust, to Queensland to work as a charter vessel. ”The note invites the finder to call one of a pair of phone numbers to claim the prize.

        Unfortunately it would be my cousin Lori Slesinki and the missing, but presumed dead case on her. Although they got the scumbag on 25- life, he refuses to tell us where she is. So that mystery of just not knowing and not being able to lay her to rest has definitely been horrible and probably will continue being a mystery. :(

          Oh wow Kristina I'm so so sorry , I read up on the whole case which I won't put up here as I don't want to re traumatise you. It was the CBS crime report.. just awful for your entire family . He deserves whatever he gets in jail. Let's hope he never does make it out. And they said he killed his own parents at 12 yrs old? That's astonishing he's not in for life? ,. May your beautiful cousin forever rest in peace 💞🌹🕯

        The disappearance of Lord Lucan. He was a British peer and an Anglo-Irish aristocrat. On 7 November 1974, Sandra Rivett, the nanny of Lucan's children, was murdered in the Lucan family home. A wounded Lady Lucan had also been attacked by her husband and he had admitted to her that he had killed Rivett. After staying with friends, on 8 November, Lucan drove off. The car was found abandoned, its interior stained with blood and its boot containing a piece of bandaged lead pipe similar to one found at the crime scene. Despite police issuing a warrant for his arrest, Lucan was never found. At the inquest into Rivett's death, held in June 1975, the jury returned a verdict naming Lucan as her killer. Lucan was declared legally dead in 1999, and a death certificate issued in 2016 allowed his titles to be inherited by his son George. Lucan's involvement in Rivett's murder and his fate remains a subject of debate, various theories, and continuing research.

On December 5, 1945, the five bombers disappeared while on a training flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Mariner, which was later sent to search for the missing planes, also vanished.

                  Amelia Earhart disappearance She was an American aviation pioneer. On July 2, 1937, Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and she set many other records. She was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel and wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences.

                    Apparently, they kept sending radio messages after crash landing. Searchers who combed through U.S. Navy and Coast Guard reports, newspaper articles, and individual accounts found evidence of 135 radio messages that Earhart allegedly sent long after the plane stopped flying. The plane wreckage has never been discovered.

                  Sorry - nothing comes to mind at the moment. It seemed to be a wide topic for writers in my early years but most of the "mysteries" all seem to add up to someone killing 1 or more people and then we may or may not find out who and why.

                      The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex, hand-written in an unknown script. The manuscript is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912. The manuscript consists of around 240 pages, but there is evidence that pages are missing. The text is written from left to right, and some pages are foldable sheets of varying sizes. Most of the pages have fantastical illustrations and diagrams, some crudely coloured, with sections of the manuscript showing people, fictitious plants, astrological symbols, etc. The manuscript has never been demonstrably deciphered, and none of the proposed hypotheses have been independently verified. The mystery of its meaning and origin has excited speculation and provoked study.

                      A gravity or magnetic hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or that a car left out of gear will roll uphill. Many of these sites have no specific name and are often called just "Gravity Hill", "Magnetic Hill", "Magic Road" or something similar. I’ve seen a list of 21 magnetic hills from around the world, but it’s not complete. We have 6 in Australia alone.

                      The chicken or the egg? The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as the question, "which came first: the chicken or the egg?" The dilemma stems from the observation that all chickens hatch from eggs and all chicken eggs are laid by chickens. Although the question is typically used metaphorically, evolutionary biology provides literal answers, made possible by the Darwinian principle that species evolve over time, and thus that chickens had ancestors that were not chickens. If the question refers to eggs in general, the egg came first.

                      Mary Celeste was a Canadian-built, American-registered merchant brigantine that was discovered adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azorean islands on December 4, 1872. The Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia found her in a disheveled but seaworthy condition under partial sail and with her lifeboat missing. The last entry in her log was dated ten days earlier. She had left New York City for Genoa on November 7 and was still amply provisioned when found. Her cargo of alcohol was intact, and the captain's and crew's personal belongings were undisturbed. None of those who had been on board were ever seen or heard from again.

                          10 Small Steps: Executing the Nazi / Fascist Playbook 1) Play to people’s strongest fears, insecurities, and points of anger to win the election. 2) Normalize yourself through your press and public statements. 3) Appoint a trusted associate who is close to the vortex of power, but also outside of the traditional power structure. 4) Fascists typically re-make the party that brought them into power in their own image, re-fashioning it to fit in their own deeply unconventional and personal coalition of support. 5) Fascists almost always begin their tenure in office focused on infrastructure projects. 6) Fascists begin to develop and refine their cult of identity in anticipation of re-election. 7) The big test for a fascist’s staying power is their first re-election. 8) Once re-elected, fascist leaders then begin more rapidly tightening their grip on the institutions of power and removing said institutions’ ability to check the leader. 9) Marginalize the voting power of groups aligned against you with rapid force. 10) Declare yourself father of the people.

The lie within a lie, is based on the George Costanza words of such profound wisdom that not even Freud or Plato could compete. “It’s Not A Lie If You Believe It.” The result is that many Republicans now question the election results.

                          the plant has acres of ponds, it handles around 630 million liters per day. there are various stages of treatment, but a lot of them are nature and time-based, technically i was never privy to the science side of the treatment but the aim is to separate and treat,i know they have 2 massive ponds that have cod in them , the bird life there is unreal and these fish are dragged out by an assortment of birds hawks and pelicans mainly, but the fish would be easy 30 plus kilos they are huge, but the end scenario is at the end of the cycle the sewerage solids are left in piles and it dries like a smelly mud but farmers come and get it by truckloads for free to use as fertilizer it has been treated and passed as fertilizer I was told and the treated water is piped to farms though out the local farming community for I think about 1 or 2 cents a litre they constantly have scientists from the uni testing water for everything including drugs and was told the police can tell where drug use is increasing because the ponds that fill up are separated into 8 areas and that know where that water came from ,there are a lot of other stories i can tell you those came from people working in the plants,for instance there are billions of these things called midgies,where they separate the solids to negate them they introduced the orb spider and that plant has thousands upon thousands of spiders munching on them, the guys operating the machines have belts equipped with brushes and flyspray

                          Big Ern McCracken said it all in the movie Kingpin, when asked what he was going to do with his winnings - “I don’t know. All I know is, I finally got enough money…that I can buy my way out of anything. I can do anything I want when I get my money later. And I won! Finally, Big Ern is above the law! It’s a great feeling”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR8D_Vty9F0&t=100s

                          The American Dream 'only' applies to White People in the USA. The American Nightmare 'only' applies to Minorities in the USA.

                        How pyramids were built?

                          They probably started at the bottom and worked their way up. A man and his wife are touring Egypt. While looking at the pyramids, a local merchant calls them over. He offers the man 100 camels in exchange for his wife. The man takes a few minutes, but ultimately refuses the offer and the two go on their way. A bit later the man's wife asks him, "What took you so long to say no?". The man replies, "I was trying to think of a way to bring 100 camel’s back home!"

                        So, what happened to the lost gold of the Confederacy? In 1865 America at the end of the Civil War, the Confederate government crumbled, and its leaders fled through Georgia, pursued by federal authorities. The gold in their treasury came with them. The people were caught … without the gold. The gold was never found. The gold became a lost legend. To this day, nobody has ever owned up to having found it.
