I hate to boil down your post, gumgnome, but what I take from that is keep all possibilities open.
"Scientific truth" is in and of itself an oxymoron. Science is after the truth, but cannot determine truth in certainty. All it can "prove" is what is "more true" from scientific inquiry.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ted better than occasionally weird-Ross, but I am constantly finding similarities when I watch. Also the fact that this is a show centering around a group of FRIENDS in New York who hang out at a local shop where they consume beverages and food and talk for a significant portion of screen time should not go overlooked. Oh, and remember that Friends gag where no one could remember Chandler's occupation? Yeah, that was never used in HIMYM.... or was it? ? lol

Did anyone else laugh like a true fanboy when Alexis Denisof, Tom Lenk, Amy Acker, Morena Baccarin, and Harry Groener made appearances? I totally did!!!!! In what way did they model him do you think? Ted = Ross points: They both are very intelligent, with failed careers that led them to become educators From Snizapman, the need to correct people Occasionally socially awkward (red cowboy boots anyone?) TERRIBLE luck in dating, hopeless romantics, and way too willing to rush into marriage Both had a failed wedding Both dated someone who lived/moved to Europe Are COLLEGE PROFESSORS and date someone they taught in class Robin/Rachel "girl he can never have but always want" syndrome (granted, this has now shifted to Barney, but was Ted originally) Both have ties to animals (Marcel and goat) Both have two male friends who get them into trouble, and also bail them out Those are just some from the top of my head.

Rebecca you and I'm for the cattle brand. And if we can't find one we could pull a Jimmy Angelou/Caleb and use a badass ring and a lighter/car cigarette lighter. Wow, I didn't get the reference at first, Taby, but you definitely get kudos for using a Practical Magic reference.

Official vote: Benny The KeyI can't think of anyone else right now. He's been ridiculously quite the entire game. He might not be a warlock but he's certainly not a villager to stay low key like that. He's probably a vampire or werewolf. Who knows? Who's with me? I'm thinking no one lol.

The subject of ghosts came up with one of my co-workers a couple months ago and she told me two ghost stories that she personally witnessed. Story #1: She and her boyfriend live in an apartment, which they were concerned was haunted. Apparently, every-once-in-a-while one or both of them would become "possessed" with an angry spirit and they would have a fight, but just a few moments later would snap out of it, and not even remember it. Sounded like a young couple fighting, trying to explain it away. I'm still very skeptical. Then she said that somehow she procured a nazar boncuk, which she brought home to hang in the apartment. As soon as she hung it on her door, a flash of light flicked toward it and it flung itself a few feet away and smashed on the floor, without being touched. She then researched this nazar boncuk, and came to find it is meant to protect the owner against evil, absorbing the negative energy. The mythos goes that nazars or "evil eye stones" come to you if you are in danger, and if you aren't in danger, you will lose it or misplace it. After I heard that, it sounded a bit more "real". Story #2: Spending the night at a friend's house, the first time she had been there, she got the wind knocked out of her walking in the front door. She really didn't want to go inside. Writing it off as nothing, she went inside, where she saw numerous bowls of salt placed in corners of the upstairs living room. She also noticed the stairs to the attic physically boarded off. When she asked about them, apparently they had been having some poltergeist-like experiences. In the downstairs den, whenever the owners moved any furniture, something would happen to harm anyone going in the room. A few days prior they had moved a couch or something and something pulled the mother's leg off a chair when she was hanging something... really banged her up. They said it was safe now, not to worry. Again, I'm totally skeptical, probably people just being superstitious, an older woman having balance issues, not convinced yet. So despite my friend's misgivings, she and her boyfriend end up sleeping downstairs, down the hall from the den where the "angry spirit" was. My friend being worried anyway couldn't sleep a wink. During the night she heard a scuffling on the carpet that nearly made her jump out of her skin. There was a cat that had been sleeping with her, but at the scuffling, the cat ran off. The scuffling kept happening through the night, keeping her awake worried. She tried to wake her boyfriend to get him to come with her upstairs, but he was annoyed at being awoken. Then apparently she heard footsteps and "felt the presence of someone standing over her". Freaked the eff out, she couldn't move. Then the blankets were RIPPED OFF HER BED sending her in a screaming fit. Her boyfriend woke up and was annoyed at her hogging all the covers, not believing her. After that it was quiet, but she still couldn't sleep. In the morning, she looked down the hall and there was a big chest in the hallway, just in front of the stairs. The chest had been moved in the den the previous day. That story really gave me chills when she told me
