Who We Are
WPARanormal Inc, a Michigan non-profit, clergy led, Paranormal
Investigation Team, based in Southwest, Michigan, was founded by Rev.
Dr. Robert Du Shane, and Robert Penny, as “Kalamazoo Ghost Hunters Club” in 1993. Though
legally incorperated as a church, we will not preach to you, or make
attempts to change your religious views. What we do is conduct investigations
in the tri-state area, with most efforts focused on Southwest Michigan. Our goal is to document paranormal activities, with the hope of one day knowing for sure what happens when we pass. We are non-profit and never charge for our services. Donations and the members themselves support us. We
use the latest scientific equipment to aid us in our investigations,
and unlike most teams we will help you with any type of haunting,
including poltergeists and demons.

Mars Hoax Returns
Posted by WPAR_Rob on Tuesday, June 09 @ 20:09:13 UTC (10 reads)
If no one has asked you about it yet, they probably will. A bogus
e-mail chain letter, sometimes titled "Mars Spectacular," has been
circulating around the Internet, as it did for the last few years. It claims that on
August 27th the planet Mars will dazzle the world, appearing brighter
than ever in history and "as large as the full Moon to the naked eye."
A
bogus e-mail chain letter is misleading people into thinking that Mars
will look as big as the full Moon to the naked eye in late August 2006.

Scientists discover a nearly Earth-sized planet

HATFIELD,
England – In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in
Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close
to the right size. The other is in the right place. European
researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever,
called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
"The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone,'" said Michel Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland.
An American expert called the discovery of the tiny planet "extraordinary."
Rare rhino calves found in Indonesian jungle

JAKARTA (AFP) – Four calves of the world's rarest species of rhino have been found in remote jungle on Indonesia's Java island, giving hope to efforts to save them from extinction, an official said Tuesday.
"Four Javan rhinos of six to seven months age were seen by scientists on the beach near the jungle during a recent field survey," Agus Primabudi, the head of the Ujung Kulon National Park in West Java, told AFP.
Alerted to the presence of humans, the baby rhinos fled into the park to where two adult rhinos aged roughly 35 to 36, believed to be their parents, were staying, Primabudi said.
Primabudi said that the birth of the four calves has given new hope that the Javan rhinos can breed in the wild at levels high enough to keep the local population alive into the future.
"The most important thing we can do is to protect their habitat so that they can breed easily," he said.
The Javan rhino, which is distinguished by its small size, single horn and loose skin folds, is likely the most endangered large mammal on the planet, according to WWF.
e=mc2: no longer a therory

It's taken more than a century, but Einstein's celebrated formula e=mc2 has finally been corroborated, thanks to a heroic computational effort by French, German and Hungarian physicists.
A brainpower consortium led by Laurent Lellouch of France's Centre for Theoretical Physics, using some of the world's mightiest supercomputers, have set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms.
According to the conventional model of particle physics, protons and neutrons comprise smaller particles known as quarks, which in turn are bound by gluons.
The odd thing is this: the mass of gluons is zero and the mass of quarks is only five percent. Where, therefore, is the missing 95 percent?
The answer, according to the study published in the US journal Science on Thursday, comes from the energy from the movements and interactions of quarks and gluons.
In other words, energy and mass are equivalent, as Einstein proposed in his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905.
The e=mc2 formula shows that mass can be converted into energy, and energy can be converted into mass.
Tiny, long-lost primate rediscovered in Indonesia
Posted by WPAR_Rob on Wednesday, November 19 @ 08:38:04 UTC (425 reads)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – On a misty mountaintop on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, scientists for the first time in more than eight decades have observed a living pygmy tarsier, one of the planet's smallest and rarest primates.
Over a two-month period, the scientists used nets to trap three furry, mouse-sized pygmy tarsiers -- two males and one female -- on Mt. Rore Katimbo in Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi, the researchers said on Tuesday.
They spotted a fourth one that got away.
The tarsiers, which some scientists believed were extinct, may not have been overly thrilled to be found. One of them chomped Sharon Gursky-Doyen, a Texas A&M University professor of anthropology who took part in the expedition.
"I'm the only person in the world to ever be bitten by a pygmy tarsier," Gursky-Doyen said in a telephone interview.
"My assistant was trying to hold him still while I was attaching a radio collar around its neck. It's very hard to hold them because they can turn their heads around 180 degrees. As I'm trying to close the radio collar, he turned his head and nipped my finger. And I yanked it and I was bleeding."
