Was I the only person who didn't know...

[Sight Unseen]

Wow, it's like I'm always the last person to hear about things. Like I really didn't know this until just now. I'm not sure if I'm considered an old member or a new one, I joined AF in January, and ToS as soon as I heard about it in March, but that may be part of the problem. I really need to find time to be more active here.

Newspapers can do that? That's just sad.

[Human No More]

Unfortunately they can... All they care about is money really

Doesn't matter to them if they cause someone problems, especially if it's someone they consider 'weird', they already move onto the next thing without thinking about the consequences

I didn't know about this but I think it's disgusting that the media can do that to people. Everyone knows what the media is like but it still doesn't make it right. I should be more active on the forums too but I started a new job and don't get much chance to browse the web anymore

[Fosus]

Oh, that is just terrible. I had heard about CNN publishing all about Eltu, but never knew the whole story until now...

BTW, A picture from Human No More's visit to the Tree of Souls in London made it onto the front page of google news for a few days. I dont have the link anymore to the original story though.

I missed that!

Was it this one?
CultureLab: 'Tree of Souls' found growing in central London


Even got a few haters in the comments there, one of the reasons I was happy to be interviewed was due to my respect for New Scientist and I thought more people would be accepting and understanding

his alien visitation will seed more trees - real, Earthly ones - if humans can manage to commune with the Tree of Souls. Although crash barriers were preventing anyone from trying to plug an interactive ponytail into its glowing tendrils when I visited on Saturday evening, pilgrims with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices were told that they could link to a local website hosted within the trunk. All who did so would have a tree planted in their name, thanks to Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, which is selling the Avatar DVD, and The Woodland Trust, a British tree-promoting organisation.


That is so cool. But so useless. But the coolness over-rides it.

[Human No More]

Yeah, it definitely was cool... Looked fairly like the Tree, except didn't have enough tendrils (and they glowed different colours) but I still really liked it

Haters gonna hate
