Today I am inundated with weird research requests. Without further ado, here are some freaky links; more may be coming once everything calms down a bit.

• Cows have regional accents. So do dogs!
• A story on Rennes-le-Chateau led to Pierre Plantard's page on Wikipedia, which makes excellent reading for anyone who read Holy Blood, Holy Grail and also has several offshoots into similarly bizarre people and places, like the Beale Ciphers in Virginia.
• And then there's Mount Weather, the probable "undisclosed location" that houses the higher-ups in times of great terror and is an actual place. Talk about freaky.
