Oxford Professor Argues Invisible Aliens Are Interbreeding With Humans

  • Dr Chi claims that aliens share our biosphere and are acting to overcome the effects of climate change.
  • Dr Chi outlined his views in a 2012 lecture and has since written a book.
  • In April 2018, Dr Chi approached The Oxford Union to propose a debate on the subject. The proposal was not accepted.
The Oxford Student has learned that Dr Young-hae Chi, Professor at Oxford’s Oriental Institute, believes in a strong correlation between climate change and alien abductions.
In 2012, Dr Chi gave a lecture at the the Ammach Conference, titled ‘Alien Abduction and the Environmental Crisis’ in which he outlined his theory concerning the presence of aliens on earth.

This happens, if you don't maintain your espionage hardware! Uhm, I meant, feed, if you don't feed your ...

Last week, a group of fishermen had an ostensibly delightful encounter with a beluga whale off the coast of the Norwegian village of Inga, according to The Guardian. They say it was actively seeking their boats to try and pull straps and ropes from their sides, and seemed comfortable around humans.

Russia may be training killer beluga whales
and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 isn’t
so silly now, is it?

I don't get it. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I would do the same if I knew someone in Japan.

I agree, I would love to get my hand on some of that chalk.

It's the way they fawn over it that gets me.


- I didn't want to become a chalk dealer,but I did like the idea that I could be the first stick is free, chalk dealer on the block in my department.

-I was probably be selling it regularly to maybe 8-10 colleagues.
I would reach into my cupboard in my office and pull out another box a d we'd do the deal in my office.

-When I'm teaching I get a feeling of energy, confidence, and the chalk absolutely helps.

I lost it 😂

... and imagine the custom officers who desperately try to figure out what's hidden in that box of a white something if ordered per mail!

Thanks for posting this. Mother was worried when I told her the news (which I read here on PF), and was (almost) preventing me from studying on my laptop and phone. I would be glad to tell her the sequel of the story. :wink:

Various drivers here drove (on different occasions) into a river, because their navigation system told them where to cross, but not that it is a ferry and not a bridge.
We had someone whose satnav said something like "after the bend, take the first right". After the bend was a level crossing, and then the right turn he was supposed to make. You can guess where he ended up...

I observed that many drivers had their satnav switched on while they clearly were on their way home during business traffic. (You can see the light in winter when darkness comes early, and the license plates reveal whether they locals or not.)

Have they forgotten their way home? Aren't they annoyed by the voice telling them what they know anyway? I didn't get it.
