  1. Whatever the blobs were in Oakville, I wouldn't want them touching me... The story of the postman covering a hundred miles on his route sounds like the sort of thing service-workers would have done then; that the government denied him his pay sounds realistic, too. The giant skeletons reputedly found in Nevada makes for interesting reading, especially since an identical legend was heard of thousands of miles south. Does anyone still have the skeletons? What happened to them?
