Title: Interesting youtube video
Post by: TylerDurden on December 18, 2009, 03:44:06 am
I've often made fun of Aajonus' "coyote experience" given that it is so unlikely. However, 1 guy, a fan of AV on the other group, posted a youtube video of a photographer who talked about meeting a leopard seal who kept on offering him penguins to eat:-

Despite this video, I still don't believe a word of what Aajonus claimed re the coyote "meeting" or other supposed "mystical" experiences. I mean, Aajonus clearly was trying to attach a religious-like emphasis to the story(ie adding the theme of fasting in the desert(much like Jesus' 40 days/40 nights; and then there's the classic theme of humans being fed by canines(remember the Romulus/Remus myth?); not to mention the obligatory pseud mention of encounters with Native American chiefs and the Inuit(very fashionable since the movie Dances With Wolves).

The National Geographic brand is plastered on the video so it gives it credibility.

As for Aajonus and his wolves, yes I repeat that I do give Aajonus the benefit of the doubt that indeed he was being fed by the wolves.

Its the same thing we humans do when we see another mammal in danger, some of us will walk up and help them, take care of them, feed them.

Same thing with the great white shark story.  A fisherman rescues a GREAT WHITE SHARK and the shark gratefully plays with him, touches him, like a tame pet the shark has become.

Same thing in the seas routinely wild dolphins will rescue humans in distress in the water.  That's almost expected of dolphins, it's so cliche it is in the comic books.

Great White Shark? That's a new one. And it was coyotes who supposedly "saved" Aajonus, not wolves.

I just did some checking on that Great White Shark story and it turned out to be a hoax:-

One has to be careful. Most of the time such stories turn out to be mere urban legends or deliberate hoaxes.

Thanks for the catch, I will make the corrections:
