LOL! UFO's, ghosts, vampires, reincarnated twins, the Counsel of Nine, and hairy hands causing car accidents? Skeptics believe in these things? Since when?

Oh you want REAL unexplained things
Look for anything at the cutting edge of science
Gravity
Big Bang
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Different temperatures on the Sun
Why polar bears are left handed and most humans are right handed
Still not clear why sleep is required
Yawning not really explained nor why it appears to be catching
Evolution took sea animals onto land but unknown why some returned
Why light has its particular speed? Why not a few hundred klms slower or faster?

You're the one claiming there's a gazillion unexplained phenomena. Don't blame me if you fucked up and posted the wrong shit.

Wrong. All the phenomena you list has scientific explanations. You're ignorance of them not withstanding. So much for your claim.
And FYI---
"False Fact: Polar Bears are left handed
Where this myth came from is now lost in the dark recesses of history. The widespread of this misnomer is quite extraordinary with more google results announcing it as gospel than not. But in reality, scientists who have spent their working lives studying polar bears have found that they are actually ambidextrous (they use both hands equally well). It is possible that the myth was started when people observed the bears working well with their left hands, but they neglected to notice that they also worked well with their right."

Not really MR .
So you don't understand hyperbole
OK I can live with that
Why light has its particular speed?
Why not a few hundred klms slower or faster?
Care to explain to Scientist why this is so?

That light has a constant speed doesn't make it an unexplained phenomenon. I suppose one could ask why to many things to make them appear mysterious. Why up to eight electrons in the 2nd shell? Why does water boil at 212 degrees F? Why do objects fall at 32 ft per second per second? Science is in the business of answering hows not whys.
