I have been told there were CNN photos of the WTC dust cloud that showed an image of Satan. However, I cannot seem to find any evidence about it online. I have already seen all the numbers sites but, this one seemed unlikely. ---

The folks at Snopes must be working overtime these days. I’ve got to check in there more often. And haven’t we seen one or two threads on this recently? ---

**SqrlCub** - I’ll give you the tip of my hat, but if you want me to bow, you would have to had predicted the tragedy in the first place. Thanks for the hugs ! ---

Lockfist, don’t be too hard on Sqrlclub. I checked last Tuesday’s horoscopes in several papers, and none of them warned of what was to happen. I don’t think even the Weekly World News’s psychics called this in their annual new year’s predictions edition. Where were all the bloody psychics when we could have used them? ---

I didn’t think that it looked anything like Brian. But then again you would have to ask Drain, or others who have met him in person. ---

Well, in the public interest, **OpalCat** searched all the images of the WTC fires that were available, in order to provide _ **all** _ the messages that have been conveyed to us through the agents of smoke. She has identified them on her [Pictures in the Smoke](http://fathom.org/opalcat/smoke-shapes.html) page. ---

I remember the tabloids claiming that w/ waco. It’s getting old, find a new rumor to spread. ---

All those photos are all well and good (I especially enjoyed **Opal** ’s “Pictures in the Smoke” [sounds like a folk-rock album]) – but have you seen the outstanding art work the Weekly World News plasters on its covers when they do a Satan in the Smoke cover? That’s some quality work. Personally I can’t wait to see it. Here’s [an example.](http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/bizarre/bizarre.cfm?instanceid=10689) It’s a small rendition of the artwork, but you get the picture – so to speak. [hijack] - I’ve wanted to let others know about the latest WWN headline I saw and this seems like a good a place as any - **“Bill Catches Hillary With Space Alien”** – sub-title: **“‘I thought she was gay!’ sez stunned ex-Pres.”** And of course the whole thing came complete with a picture of Hillary wrapped in a classic Alien’s arms. It’s priceless. sorry. [/hijack]
