Tigers are of a different species from man, but, like him, they respond to those who coax them with food, and consequently the act of killing their victims tends to provoke them. Again, I time their periods of hunger and repletion, and I gain a full understanding of the causes of their anger. ![]() In feeding tigers, then, I avoid giving them either live animals or whole carcasses, lest in the former case the act of killing, in the latter the act of tearing them to pieces, should excite them to fury. But neither their pleasure nor their anger is manifested without a cause. Such is the natural disposition of all living creatures. “With regard to my method of feeding tigers, all I have to say is this: when yielded to, they are pleased when opposed, they are angry. His powers are not confined to walking in perilous places and passing through water and fire.” “The man of perfect faith can extend his influence to inanimate things and disembodied spirits he can move heaven and earth, and fly to the six cardinal points without encountering any hindrance.

That very day, Clark’s ship had an accident that killed him and everybody else aboard. According to Burroughs, he had known a certain Captain Clark, around 1960 in Tangier, who once bragged that he had been sailing 23 years without an accident. I first heard of the 23 enigma from William S Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Nova Express, etc. Wilson, in a 1977 article in Fortean Times, related the following anecdote: Burroughs as the first person to believe in the 23 enigma. ![]() A topic related to the 23 enigma is eikositriophobia, which is the fear of the number 23. The concept of the 23 enigma has been popularized by various books, movies, and conspiracy theories, which suggest that the number 23 appears with unusual frequency in various contexts and may be a symbol of some larger, hidden significance. The 23 enigma is a belief in the significance of the number 23. ![]() Belief that most incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23 ![]() ![]() The year 1901 marked a turning point in Porter’s life. They then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts where they lived with Eleanor’s invalid mother. During the next ten years, the couple lived in several different locales, including Chattanooga, Tennessee, New York City and Springfield, Vermont.

In his film tribute to 1890s newspapering, “Park Row”, Samuel Fuller has a senior reporter literally hand in a story written on his shirt-cuffs, neatly explaining the origin of the expression. Readers as well as reporters need to know the difference between “off the cuff” and “off the record,” which I guess depends on whose cuff we’re talking about. ![]() Program samples once linked here as available at the Internet Archive were taken offline while authorized recorded programs were being prepared for commercial re-release. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (For the last year, the articles were received from more than 30 countries) Please feel free to write if there is any query.
