The MIB phenomena is one of the more unlikely phenomena in the wacky world of anomalous phenomena, so I have introduced a considerably more sceptical note... It probably needs another bucket of cold water or two thrown over it... sjc
Yes, I'd say so. Question for somebody: "If not alone, two or more males, always in even numbers, always dressed almost entirely in black, arrive in a large black vehicle." If who is not alone? The witness?
Sorry, that was me--hey, I was up front that I didn't structure this the best, no? :-) I thought that was pretty clear, even as I read it again. However, I am happy that it was made more neutral--I am not in the camp that takes MIB's seriously myself.
(this is not one of my finer pieces of work I'm afraid...) -AD.
I suppose it is clear enough. At this point I'll admit my addiction to making things conspicuously clear. I'm no fan of pronoun reference problems, misplaced modifiers, submerged premises, etc. Don't worry about the entry; we've all submitted some subpar ones; in time they'll all be, uh, what's the phrase, "burnished to a scintillating luster" or something. --KQ
BTW, about the origins...where did you hear that? I'm not disputing it, but *every* description of MIBs I've read has them wearing uniforms not dissimilar to what they wore in the _movie_ MIB...though with hats. Paramilitary??? Often described as like cartoony 1940's G-men...
And that entry, yeah, now I see what you are saying KQ. -AD.
