Aarghh! It's those rays! They've jumped across Usenet!
Awesome Fran. Are you in my mind or am I in yours?

I don't know. Either way it's a scary thought... -- "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day that they start making vacuum cleaners." --Doc in alt.privacy
Running joke... The dog went on holiday with the kids the same time every year and the crab astronomers would predict the return of the phenomonon.
They planned rockets to penetrate the sky of their pool to learn more, while naysayers would protest at the risk of destroying the fabric of the "pooliverse".

The story of how it came about, by the author, is here.
Polar Bears? Fortunately for me I've only seen their tracks but one of the lads in another group on our expedition to Svalbard woke up to find one with its head in his tent.
I s'pose that is marginally better than waking up to find his tent in its head.

My own personal best is about 7 million midges which invaded the tent when I opened the zip at Rannoch Moor. Midges....Polar Bear...midges?....I'll stick with the midges.
If you don't know what they are there are two really scary noises in nature.

1. The cry of the fox (classic female screaming sound) 2. The noise made by rutting deer. God only knows how you would describe it but it sounds like not of this Earth
3. Peacocks. Their scream sounds frighteningly unearthly. If you don't know it you start imagining dragons, griffins, etc..

I can vouch for that. Memories of the night we moored our hire cruiser overnight at a remote part of the River Thames, only to be awakened at about 4am by such a cacophony. We had chosen a spot close to a Peacock sanctuary. :-( -- Gordon
