Mine's is here, on a Friday too. Anyone else? Haven't had a chance to so much as skim it yet, but it is very conspiracy theory heavy, with a spooky, almost all-black cover. With any luck I'll dive in at the weekend.

Mine arrived today too. Great as usual.

One niggle, due to the double cover, the pages are *very* loose, almost detached from the spine. I'm handling it with care!

Mine arrived today! Only had a chance to read the editorial and IHTM so far, but skimming through the rest it looks promising.

One thing I'm not happy with though...I saw the cover and thought it was quite an unusual design for FT. Opened it up and there's a second cover inside. Okay, maybe it's a clever statement about the dual nature of conspiracies or something, that's cool. Then I get to the very back of the mag and realised it's not a cover at all, it's an advert. And what's more there's a shameful plug for the product in the editorial!

Oh come on FT, please don't tell me you've sold out Sad

Read the two main conspiracy articles this afternoon, the review of the JFK books was a bit like librarian's magazine material, but useful to chart the theories I suppose, the ker-ay-zee CTs was entertaining, but I don't find these things as amusing as I used to when it seems three quarters of the internet believes the most terrible bullshit now. Makes you nostalgic for the good old days of JFK, really, a CT you could trust.

Incidentally, the Terminator 2 tree stump on the letters pages looks strangely like a door to me. And the bloke who wrote the interesting Denver Airport article has two names. Is he covering his tracks?

I couldn't see anything more than a door in the tree stump either. But then I've not seen the Terminator films............

I have to say that I found the main articles in this issue really rather dull, but then I'm not interested in conspiracy theories. I see this as a trade off for the times there is a great issue when I am interested in everything.

Forteana is a very broad church.
