I dated a guy (for way, way too long) who was an ardent Fortean and sincerely believed in every UFO, crop circle, Roswell, Bigfoot theory that came around.

He's probably squirreled up in a bunker somewhere awaiting our alien overlords.

Oh, neat! Is it a good magazine?

It is usually really good. I've been reading it for about twelve years now.
