Title: Charles Fort

"All attempted organizations and systems and consistencies, some approximating far higher than others, but all only intermediate to Order and Disorder, fail eventually because of their relations with outside forces."

Has anybody else read anything by this guy? He's fucking insane.

It seems he wrote most of his material in the 1920's, and he seems to be the epitome of a lovecraftian character. He was obsessed with unexplained phenomenon, and he did research on scientific journals of the time for over twenty years.

I just bought the Complete Books of Charles Fort today, but most of his material is public domain. Book of the Damned is available on http://www.sacred-texts.com/fort/damned/damn01.htm

The word Fortean comes from his name and the Fortean times is the monthly magazine charting new strange stuff and new and bizzare scientific explanations of subnormal events. It's all very scientific as the theory is to scientifically study the anomalies of science.

I'd been looking for these fellows. You don't mind if I take them back, do you? I still have a few firecrackers left.

Charles Fort is the best. He says
"A secret of power-Do you want power over something? Be more nearly real than it."
also "Raw meat should not be fed to babies"
Wonderful
