Subject: RE: BS: Explaining the Unexplained
Ok Bill D, now that we know you are so logically minded, I'll challenge you to find an explanation to The Mistery of the Hiding Back of the Chair, a TRUE story which happened last winter in my house.

My favorite chair, by my desk at home, was a Cinema-director type (those pliable, made of tubes an cloth). Every day when I woke up (at noon, cause I work at night until 5 o 6 AM), the cloth-made back of the chair had disappeared. The first time this happened I complained to wife and sons and dogs, until I found the damn thing INTO my closet, as if someone had thrown it there, carelessly.

Second time I complained harder, since it was obviously a stupid joke, but everybody, including the dogs, sweared to not having touched that back of the seat, and even less having hidden it into my closet.

I was very upset and intrigued and slept with one eye open watching the door of my closet, for weeks. Regularly the back of the chair gloriously reappeared in my closet.

One day my wife Graciela (100% Galizian) early in the morning came to my desk, minutes before I usually go to bed. She looked at my coat, hanging in the back of my chair, then told me "look, this is what you do", then took my coat by its soulders, grabbing the back of the chair along with the coat, and walked to my closet, then hanged the coat in a hanger. By that time the Evil Back of the Chair had slippered down 10 inches inside the coat. As she opened the closet's door again, the Evil Thing was down there, as if someone would have thrown it there carelessly.

My conclusion: since I CAN'T BE SO STUPID, I'm convinced that skeptic people, especially Galizians, are able to invent weird theories out of the most amazing natural or paranatural things, in their insane will to destroy our way of thinking. Now, do you have a CREDIBLE scientific explanation ??
