Discussion Series #1
 
You are given the power to see the solution to an unsolved historical mystery. However, you can only choose one mystery.

What mystery would you uncover?

Me? I'd want to know if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and if not, who were the other shooters.

ngdawg 07-19-2008 06:29 PM

I would want to know unequivocably if Jesus was real and what was the basis for the obviously exagerated stories regarding his life.

That wily bastard... How does he do it? It's a miracle!

We don't know for a fact if the stories were exaggerated. I don't think it's obvious.

inBOIL 07-19-2008 09:23 PM

I'd like to know what Proto Indo-European sounded like.

Martian 07-19-2008 09:28 PM

The one that's always bugged me Oak Island. What the hell is that place?

So I'd want to know that. Yeah.

Charlatan 07-19-2008 10:22 PM

I'd like to know if what host suggests about the Powers That Be is true or not.

Frosstbyte 07-20-2008 12:25 AM

Are rule clarifications ok? If so, does the mystery have to relate to the human historical period or can we find out what happened to the dinosaurs or how life started or something of that nature?

sadistikdreams 07-20-2008 01:01 AM

I'd like to know who Jack the Ripper was.

I know it sure wasn't Bilbo.

PonyPotato 07-20-2008 03:57 AM

Atlantis.

ratbastid 07-20-2008 04:16 AM

What happened to The Lost Colony.

little_tippler 07-20-2008 04:40 AM

I like your merleniau.

I'd like to know how they built the pyramids too.

QuasiMondo 07-20-2008 04:42 AM

I'd find out where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

just kidding.

But it would be nice to know what happened to Amelia Earhart.

ShaniFaye 07-20-2008 04:45 AM

If Lizzy Borden really killed her father and step mother

I didn't know there was a question about that. But I only really know the story from the rhyme.

I'd also go see if Ms. O'Leary's cow really started the Chicago fire.

Grasshopper Green 07-20-2008 05:17 AM

Only one?

I want to know what really happened at Roswell.

mixedmedia 07-20-2008 05:22 AM

I would like to know what happened to Michael Rockefeller.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rockefeller

QuasiMondo 07-20-2008 05:27 AM

Actually scratch that. I wanna know what was on that 18-minute gap.

fresnelly 07-20-2008 05:54 AM

Another vote for Oak Island.

What's sad about that story is that whatever was buried or constructed there, it's likely been ruined or destroyed by years of ham fisted recovery efforts.

You just saved me from writing the same thing.

And Kennedy

And Atlantis

And Roswell

I'd say that we could uncover any mystery that's out there with this power, but yeah, only one.

That's the first thing that came to my mind too.

I'm still thinking, I don't want to make sure I choose the right event.

My top 3 right now are:

Lost colony
Area 51
Amelia Earhart

Did you ever see the Alfred Hitchcock episode about this story? It was in the first season. It was very good and answered it for me. ;)

Didn't you see the tv movie with Elizabeth Montgomery? lol (pretty good one, but from the 70's so I don't know where it could be found)

highthief 07-20-2008 01:37 PM

I'd like to know who King Arthur really was.

MexicanOnABike 07-20-2008 01:38 PM

Atlantis. for sure. lets see how advanced they were!

shesus 07-20-2008 02:04 PM

Another mystery I thought of today is:

What is the mystery behind the Masons?

Where I grew up, there is a huge mansion on a hill. You can only see it in the winter when the leaves are off the tree. It's a Masonic Temple. It is gated now, but used to have a secret entrance. What the hell do they do up there?

And the rhyme is wrong (and you have to remember she was found innocent of the crime)

Gosh am I the only person here that actually follows all the case evidence on this lol

I for one think she did it, but I'd love to know all the specifics

Psycho Dad 07-20-2008 02:38 PM

Can't have a thread like this without wondering about D. B. Cooper. So yeah... that's what I want to know the whole poop on.

Good one. :) That is a strange case.

Willravel 07-20-2008 02:45 PM

I would like, very much, to see the moment that abiogenesis takes place. That moment that inorganic matter becomes organic matter. I'd want irrefutable proof that it occurred, whether here on Earth or elsewhere. I know it happened, and I think I know how, but to know for sure would be a hell of a treat.

ring 07-20-2008 02:58 PM

I am fairly convinced Giant Hamburger is God,
but it would be nice to know for certain.

levite 07-20-2008 03:48 PM

Since people have been good enough to mention Kennedy, Roswell, Area 51, and Atlantis, I'm going to have to go with: how did Rasputin really die? Did he drown after surviving being poisoned, shot, and stabbed? Or did he survive the drowning also, and die at an altogether different place and time?

FuriousAvatar 07-20-2008 04:42 PM

Willravel, I had thought to ask the same, but you beat me to it.

So, I'd love to know-how exactly did the Americas become originally populated by humans, and who exactly was it that crossed over?

BadNick 07-20-2008 05:11 PM

As long as you guys share what you find out about all your chosen mysteries above, that would let me find out if OJ really murdered Nicole.

Atreides88 07-20-2008 05:53 PM

I would love to watch the Big Bang. I'd love to know what was around before it, and watch the whole thing unfurl before me.

ItWasMe 07-20-2008 05:54 PM

Hmmm...I already figured out how the M&M's keep ending up in the toilet, so...

I'll go with the BigFoot mystery. Is there one, what is it, does it stink, will it eat me, can I housetrain one?

How on earth (get it?) could you survive outside the singularity in order to witness it?

Well he's obviously not going to survive INSIDE the singularity, silly!
