Earth, TX 79031 is a real city in Texas.

Wondering if anyone still thinks this is real

@indigothecat Actually, it's ancient Celtic in origin. It was a druidic festival that celebrated the harvest and the Celtic new year. It was also supposedly day when the barrier between the world of the living and the world of the dead was at it's thinnest, allowing spirits to come to our world.

@catcharide56 As I understand it, Algol isn't a real demon or spirit. Algol is, however a star in the constellation Perseus located roughly where Medusa's head would be. It's a shortened form of the Arabic phrase Ra's al Ghul, which means "The Demon's Head" and refers to Medusa's severed head and is also the name of a pretty cool Batman villian. By the by, the Arabic word "ghul" which means demon is the root of the English word "ghoul"

@Gnostic2030 Are you this retarded naturally or did you eat lead paint as a kid, if so you didn't eat enough. No one wants to hear you inane, idiotic, rage filled ramblings, so either go die or shut the fuck up I couldn't care less and I doubt that you would be missed.

@Gnostic2030 Yeah I know right? Cause all of this is so real and believable. A truly legitimate news source saying blasphemous things like this is offensive.
