    Oh, how I would’ve liked to hear the mystery Taos sound during my missionary (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) service to New Mexico 2003-2005.

    I’ll bet they’d have a hard time eating that pancake in one sitting. This brings me back to third grade when the teacher said she just had a pancake and was talking about how good it was and making me want one. I bet she wouldn’t have been as happy with her pancake if she couldn’t have had syrup.

    If Taos isn’t too far from Roswell, they probably blame it on aliens.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Is the pancake a tribute to the Boston treacle flood?

    The pancake story is uninteresting as we don’t know year, event, and location. “Hey, do you know, there was a very impressing event! Taking place somewhere, sometime…”

    I lived in Taos for 3 years and I never heard the hum until I put my head under water at a local hot spring. I there I heard it plan as day, but I but nowhere else.

    Taos? Oh man. That’s the Bertha Butt Boogie. She retired there in ‘79. Shoulda asked me.

    The hum stopped for a while in 1999. Then it started and the world ended in 2000, which was predicted in 1999. Everything has been an illusion since then. Everything.

    ah, the melodic humming of electricity pulsing from catenary tower to catenary tower along the high tension lines, it gets louder and stronger just before a transformer pops and the grid goes dark.

    In 1541 England there were probably not many 60 year olds, or 50 year olds at that. Isn’t it the equivalent of someone in their 90’s or 100’s today?

    That hum was created by the government to bug the hell out of citizens; then they explain the sound source is unknown.

    The Unlawful Games Act 1541 (33 Hen 8 c 9), sometimes referred to as the Suppression of Unlawful Games Act 1541, was an Act of the Parliament of England, designed to prohibit “Several new devised Games” that caused “the Decay of Archery”.

    A English long bow man could loose 10 to 15, yard long arrows, per minute. A musket in 1776 could be loaded and fired 2 or 3 times per minute. Both had about the same range. Had the long bow been used during the Revolution, British Regulars would probably have won every battle.

    Because they understood that the populace should be armed. 200 years later they wanted the populace disarmed.

    This site shows a picture similar to the one above, with a little more info on the pancake., though, strangely enough, not its weight. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/68403-largest-pancake
