ironic? what's with the empirical method-bashing?

The ley lines will not stand up to the empirical method. That's all I'm saying.

read: Benoit Mandelbrot. "The Fractal Geometry of Nature."

Who's blog does that link to? And isn't a Liminal Threshold redundant? 

Guess Canada is Ley deficient.

The really funny thing that sticks out in your subconscious about what's "wrong with this picture" you'll notice if you look carefully.  A couple of things.  First of all, there's nothing wrong with doing small circles on a sphere (the gray dotted ones); they represent coplanar planes cutting through the globe and the intersections as a result (like slicing a whole orange in consistent horizontal sections).

However, if you see it, you'll notice that, even though somewhere in the vicinity of NYC is depicted as the center of these small circles, the north pole has to be tilted toward you so that that a true horizontal line that would lie on a plane touching the globe would touch it somewhere above the arctic circle in that 2D representation.

The circles that do not have the same center of NYC would in fact, if laid down on the surface, be elliptical shapes bent in the shape of something like a potato chip (with no upturned sides of course).

You can map spherical entities to a planar surface (the inner entities crunched, outers stretched), but you'd have to know how deep the plane is inside or outside the sphere.

I especially love how they tried to incorporate the golden ratio... giggidy giggidy goo.

From the blog...

"The Cetacean Studies Institute Dedicated to enhancing the connection
between Humans and Whales, Dolphins & Porpoises.

CSI is a program of a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in the United States,
and has it's primary offices in Coffs Harbour, Australia.
CSI moved to Australia in January, 2000, from it's home base in Santa Fe, New Mexico."

Clearly Santa Fe is a GREAT place to base your dolphin study institute.  Well, I guess they did move to Australia... I just though that was funny. I haven't seen very many dolphins in New Mexico.

Not to beat a dead horse (again), but I should point out that the diagram is positively silly because a mapping of spherical to planar is not linear.  I leave it as an exercise to the reader to blow up (increase in size) the globe pic, and then try to make the lines match the same ;).

I believe you are talking about Ghost adventures, seeing as I'm watching it right now while reading this. But I too was looking these up and this intrigued me. I think maybe a ley line starts  or ends in Duluth.
