Man has a lot to learn. Pacifism doesn't work, because tyrants don't fear it; it is the tyrants' friend. Only the 'sharpened plow-share' will deter the tyrant.

Re my article: the one that you refer to was actually in Paranormal Magazine rather than Fortean Times, but no probs: re the Welsh dragon, no, the naturalist has not revisited the site as far as I am aware. Although I remain in contact with him, he has never referred to it again, but as I know the locality I may well pursue this myself next year when the weather and lighting conditions are more amenable. Like you, I prefer 'horse-man' to 'centaur' when describing the alleged man-headed equine entities - you are perfectly correct in pointing out that true centaurs combine the body and limbs of a horse with the head AND torso of a human, not just the head. Thanks again for your kind words and interest, and I hope that you enjoy my poetry book. All the best, KarlDr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-1678265435489079002009-11-05T00:56:03.619+00:002009-11-05T00:56:03.619+00:00BTW, I meant "Paranormal" Magazine, not ...BTW, I meant "Paranormal" Magazine, not Fortean Times. <br />Sorry. :)cryptidsrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184539509191478028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-60910385063824475802009-11-03T21:52:39.112+00:002009-11-03T21:52:39.112+00:00Great poem and great book, Karl!!! Looking forward...Great poem and great book, Karl!!! Looking forward to it. <br /><br />I have a question for you, BTW. And I'm glad I can ask it, believe you me...<br />I just went through the latest Fortean Times and I must say I'd like to congratulate you on your latest offering to it---regarding the most unusual sightings in the UK. That was very informative, Sir!<br /><br />I'd like to know, though---<br />The sighting in Feb 2001 in Wales of the Dragon???<br />(My favorite one, BTW)<br />Has the naturalist ever gone back to the mine/rock quarry for another look at the beastie??? Has the naturalist ever given any more information about that?<br />I know I would have liked to have had SEVERAL looks!!!<br /><br />And another thing---<br />The Horse with the "Human Head" seen by the correpondent's husband in 1994???<br />I think you or somebody else called it a "Centaur."<br />Hate to be a Stick-in-the-mud but is that really an accurate assesment of the creature???<br /><br />Centaurs have traditionally been portrayed as having human arms and torsos. This one (from the description given) did not have either. Wouldn't it be better to say this "thing" was a "Horse Creature," or "Horse Monster???"<br />Like I said, I look forward to the book. Thanks a lot, Shuker!!!cryptidsrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184539509191478028noreply@blogger.com
