'Starchild' skull and UFO hunters

tyr_13 · 1st April 2009, 07:29 PM

Well, the UFO hunters are covering even more already completely discredited evidence. In this episode, they go look at the 'starchild' skull, a big skull. This is obviously hydrosphalic skull. For some reason, they believe the woman saying that the skull couldn't be one of a hydrosphalic child, because it's symmetric. First of all, you can see that it isn't completely, just like everyone's skulls. Second of all, she claims that such a skull wouldn't form a complete skull, and would collapse. This is even though the production crew certainly didn't have any trouble finding a medical sketch of one.

And of course, this skull has been DNA tested. It was male, and had human parents. It can't be a 'gray' if it has normal human DNA.

This just makes me wanna do my 'mystery science' voice over for this show even more.

You probably meant Hydrocephalus or Hydrocephalic

I think "mystery science" voiceovers for this is a GREAT IDEA!!!

Should we start identifying particularly egregious error-laden episodes and getting them on media to use at a party at TAM??

Someone should invent forum software where you can put sound effects, or record speech, in posts.
Hmm.. I guess probably someone already has.

Well it looks like the first season is out on DVD. My brother and I are looking into doing a comedy riff for some episodes, starting with the USO one, and releasing them on Rifftrax.

Hopefully.

My girlfriend doesn't let me watch shoes like monster quest or UFO hunters because I will just start yelling at the TV when they say things like,

"Extra terrestrial origin is the most likely explanation given the evidence we have..."

I know I am paraphrasing but they say something like that in every episode. The worst part is they act like the are using the scientific method but they only ever seek to back up their assumption that aliens exist.

If you do some MST takes on those guys please please let us know.
