I used to love the television show, "In Search Of". It was narrated by Leonard (Mr. Spock) Nimoy and dealt with such riveting and important issues as Bigfoot, flying saucers, the Loch Ness Monster and so on. Did such creatures exist? Were extraterrestrials visiting our planet? If memory serves, the conclusions presented during each show pertaining to each mystery or subject were always left rather open-ended and painted with rather broad strokes...leaving a big question mark hovering in the air as the end credits rolled. The strangely chilling opening theme and Nimoy's narration alone were justification enough to waste thirty minutes of your life watching the talking head interviews with so-called "experts" in such fields as paranormal psychology and U.F.O s.
Shows like "In Search Of" always made life seem more exciting...as if anything was truly possible. Why, of course there's an Abominable Snowman! Here's the photo of the Pangpoche scalp!
Some things we will never know for sure...they are the mysteries that make life a fascinating adventure into the unknown. I,for one, will never know what it's like to attend Hebrew school or have a vagina. How much money can you really make running a pumpkin patch? Beats the hell out me. How much different would riding a unicorn be from riding just a plain, old horse? What would it be like to swallow a live bat? Where do midgets come from? What are tangerines made out of? All fantastic unanswered questions.
What does wolverine meat taste like? I assume they are edible...but has anyone ever bothered to eat one? Another great mystery! Yes, life is full of wonderment, boys and girls...ask yourself the tough questions...like...given today's technology...could the story of Pinocchio really happen?
Seize the day! Embrace life's mysteries as well as Leonard Nimoy! Touche'! Kudos! Zap! Boffo! Huzzah!
