"If my public junior high school hadn't wanted to whet my interest in strange stuff they shouldn't have sent our entire 7th grade class to a lecture at a college by Eric Von Daniken author of In Search of Ancient Astronauts. Lots of slides about Mayan pyramids and inexplicable stone geometries visible from the air in endless fields. They also shouldn't have sat us in a big room and made us wear fat headphones that put out series of spooky tones that we were supposed to guess about marking down if we thought the next one in the series would be higher or lower. The test went on forever and when"
