Ghosts |
It first occurred to me that it was utterly stupid
to assert there were no ghosts when I first
saw Mr. Rogers on TV just after he died.

It's called "a rerun."

Did you videotape it? Is there a means with which you could share this
with otherwise skeptical peers?

There are people who are skeptical that Mr. Roger's reruns are showing on TV?
How odd. :-?
As for me, even some classical definitions of "ghost" have them as mindless,
non-conscious "imagery" of sorts imprinted onto space. A recorded video image
is precisely that, so yes, I could see calling it a "ghost".

No, I didn't tape it, but I'm sure you could find something
within this google result: http://pbskids.org/rogers/
Shall I hunt down a few other dead people?
Technology sure has made ghosts more, um.
substantial!

I think you'll find that Mr. Rogers has recently been involved in the
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (along with Spock, The Rock, Doc
Oc and Hulk Hogan).

Wander one way or the other,but please explain
and give something in the common sphere
either way.
My example of a ghost was Mr. Rogers on TV.

Someone once told me that ghosts are a sort of memory. I would extend
that definition to people.

I'm not sure if I'm more memory or dream. I suspect
I'm more of a ghost than a fantasy. Habits, and all
that...

The other day, I turned my head to the left and noticed the word
'sphere' on the zip of a bag, it's the bag's brand name.
