There is a poem called "The Puzzlement of 28 IF" about the "Paul is dead" rumour of 1969.

Linda implied that Paul may have swapped places with a time twin. The "official rumour" is that Paul died in a car crash and was replaced by a look-a-like called William Campbell.

She also mentioned four clues:

Clue: On the Abbey Road album, there is a Volkswagen with the licence plate 28 IF.
Rumour: Paul would have been 28 IF he were alive.
Criticism: The licence plate actually says 281F, and Paul would have been 27, not 28.

Clue: In the booklet accompanying the Magical Mystery Tour album, three of the Beatles wear red carnations, while Paul wears a black one.
Rumour: The black carnation symbolises that Paul is dead.
Official story: The Beatles insist they simply ran out of red carnations, and used a black one. This seems unlikely, as a black carnation would have been especially procured. The Beatles had millions of dollars, loads of staff and were based in the middle of London - and yet they couldn't get ONE red carnation??? In the film for Magical Mystery Tour, in the sequence for "Your Mother Should Know", the other Beatles wear white carnations while Paul's is black.

Clue: At the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever", John says "I buried Paul".
Rumour: Paul had to be secretly buried, and John organised it.
Criticism: John actually says "Cranberry sauce". Could this still be a clue? Cranberry sauce is traditionally served for the American Thanksgiving; could John be "giving thanks" that Paul is actually alive?

Clue: In "I'm So Tired", a backwards message says "Paul is dead man, miss him, miss him". In "Revolution #9", a backwards message says "Turn me on, dead man".
Rumour: These messages are telling fans that Paul is dead.
Criticism: The backwards messages are just gibberish, and people are hearing what they want to hear.

Alas and alack, alas and alack, what have we here?
Kiss a red carnation black - with one blue tear
Double, double, time-track trouble
pick a strawberry four-leaf clover
play it backwards, play it over

Don't cry little lass, don't cry
he's still alive - he didn't die
he's writing songs for three blind mice
and the farmer's wife

did you ever hear such a tale in your life?

Step aside girl, let him pass
walkin' barefoot in the grass
and Hey! Hey! Hey! Isn't it groovy, like
Christmas Day?
He's still around in London town
with the farmer's wife and three blind mice

Play it backwards, listen twice, three blind mice
then thank a song of sixpence if you're bright enough to see
bright enough to see ...

and Paul

Oh Paul, dear Paul, the gentle one
(see how they run, see how they run?)
sing your Noel song still sweetly

But do take care now, won't you Luv?
when they shove up close to hear you
please take caution and beware
of those flash bulbs poppin' near you

for 'tis written on an ancient scroll
that the eyes are the windows of the soul

This is really fascinating.

Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is, I was looking at this picture of Tecumseh, and I couldn't believe it! He looks just like George Harrison. Check it out. Harrison also dressed like a Native American, and owned a guitar which he decorated with Native American symbols. Could he have been Tecumseh, then felt guilty about it? Harrison met with President Ford, who also fell victim to the choking curse.

Shortly after I found out, though, I began having choking sensations... mealtimes, too... Thankfully, not anymore....

Thanks for pulling this up. Linda gives more detail in her Star Notes (available soon).

The rumor I have heard about the Presidential assassinations is the every President elected in a year ending in "0" will die in office. Only Reagan, elected in 1980, escaped. George W. was elected in 2000. And I also heard that when he was in the fraternal organization known as the "Skulls", his nickname was "Temporary".
I wish I had more info on that.

"I've Seen All Good People" is a song performed by the band Yes and written by Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. It is included on 1971's The Yes Album. The first part of the song, "Your Move", was released as a single. The first part of the song, "Your Move", uses various allusions to the game of chess — such as the phrases "move me onto any black square", "make the white queen run so fast", and "the goal is for us all to capture all we want".

It can be attributed to LEWIS CARROLL'S "Through The Looking Glass". In looking glass land if you want to be "satisfied" and "on your way" you must walk backwards on life's chessboard to move ahead.

That is "don't surround yourself with yourself" is a chess analogy. This is opposite of what we were taught: fight with might and force to get ahead.

Just before the three minute mark of the song, at the final part of "Your Move", the chorus of JOHN LENNON'S "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" can be heard in the background.

*The song is included in the 2000 movie Almost Famous and is also on the soundtrack album.

"Instant Karma!" is a song written by John Lennon, and released on Apple Records in February 1970 in both the UK and US. It was released as a single and credited in the UK to "Lennon/Ono with the Plastic Ono Band".

"Instant Karma!" was written with a similar chord structure to "THREE BLIND MICE" and "Some Other Guy", and using the same chord progression as the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love".

It ranks as one of the fastest-released songs in pop music history, recorded at London's Abbey Road Studios the same day it was written, and arriving in stores only ten days later. Ten takes were recorded in total. Lennon remarked to the press that he "wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we're putting it out for dinner." The record was produced by Spector, after Beatle George Harrison brought him to the recording session while Harrison and Spector were working on Harrison's All Things Must Pass. "Instant Karma!" was first of many Beatles-related recordings that Spector would work on that year. The main musicians at the recording, Harrison, Klaus Voormann, and Alan White, were dubbed as a different variety of the Plastic Ono Band.

There are also other interpretations of the song as an explicit reference to drugs, since the Beatles were experiencing acid in those years. Paul McCartney himself said about the song:

"Because those were psychedelic times it had to become a magical mystery tour, a little bit more surreal than the real ones to give us a license to do it. But it employs all the circus and fairground barkers, 'Roll up! Roll up!', which was also a reference to rolling up a joint. We were ALWAYS sticking those little things in that we knew our friends would get; veiled references to drugs and to trips. 'Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away,' so that's a kind of drug, 'it's dying to take you away' so that's a Tibetan Book of the Dead reference.

Dung Beetles Use the Milky Way for Orientation
18 February 2013

Summary

When the moon is absent from the night sky, stars remain as celestial visual cues. Nonetheless, only birds , seals , and humans are known to use stars for orientation. African ball-rolling dung beetles exploit the sun, the moon, and the celestial polarization pattern to move along straight paths, away from the intense competition at the dung pile. Even on clear moonless nights, many beetles still manage to orientate along straight paths. This led us to hypothesize that dung beetles exploit the starry sky for orientation, a feat that has, to our knowledge, never been demonstrated in an insect.

Here, we show that dung beetles transport their dung balls along straight paths under a starlit sky but lose this ability under overcast conditions. In a planetarium, the beetles orientate equally well when rolling under a full starlit sky as when only the Milky Way is present. The use of this bidirectional celestial cue for orientation has been proposed for vertebrates, spiders, and insects, but never proven.

This finding represents the first convincing demonstration for the use of the starry sky for orientation in insects and provides the first documented use of the Milky Way for orientation in the animal kingdom.

Highlights

► African dung beetles orient to the starry sky to move along straight paths ► The beetles do not orientate to the individual stars, but to the Milky Way

Several species of the dung beetle, most notably the species Scarabaeus sacer (often referred to as the sacred scarab), enjoyed a sacred status among the ancient Egyptians.

The scarab was linked to Khepri, the god of the rising sun.

The ancient Egyptians believed that Khepri renewed the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon, then carried it through the other world after sunset, only to renew it, again, the next day. Some New Kingdom royal tombs exhibit a threefold image of the sun god, with the beetle as symbol of the morning sun. The astronomical ceiling in the tomb of Ramses VI portrays the nightly "death" and "rebirth" of the sun as being swallowed by Nut, goddess of the sky, and re-emerging from her womb as Khepri.

The image of the scarab, conveying ideas of transformation, renewal, and resurrection, is ubiquitous in ancient Egyptian religious and funerary art.
