Discussion Overview

The thread explores various claims and ideas that participants consider to be extreme or nonsensical, often relating to aliens, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience. The scope includes speculative narratives, unusual theories, and humorous takes on fringe beliefs.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants mention the narrative of "The Coming of Tan," which involves a boy's alleged abduction by aliens and the sharing of knowledge.
  • Another contribution discusses a woman's encounter with aliens, claiming connections to historical figures, which was nominated for the Hall of Fame.
  • References to the "Time Cube" theory suggest a belief in multiple simultaneous days within a single rotation of Earth, challenging conventional timekeeping.
  • A participant expresses concern over the predicted doomsday from Planet X, which was supposed to occur in 2003, highlighting the ongoing belief in such theories.
  • Claims about crop circles and their supposed connections to extraterrestrial communication are presented, along with assertions about free energy from earthquakes.
  • Discussion includes the "missing day" of King David, with participants encouraged to explore various pro and con websites on the topic.
  • One post describes a device that allegedly makes fossil fuels obsolete, claiming it can produce more energy than it consumes.
  • Another claim involves a "thought screen helmet" that supposedly prevents alien abductions, with testimonials supporting its effectiveness.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of views on the validity of the claims presented, with no consensus on what constitutes "baloney." The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing ideas and theories being shared.

Contextual Notes

Some claims rely on anecdotal evidence and personal testimonials, while others reference specific websites that promote fringe theories. The discussion does not resolve the validity of these claims, leaving many assumptions and interpretations open-ended.

The coming of Tan

The Coming of Tan
"Riley Martin says it all started when he was seven... they took little Riley aboard an alien spacecraft to a huge mothership parked near Saturn. Their computers download into Riley's brain... the history of humanity, alien insights, and a whole lot more... plus beautiful symbols by the thousands. Riley made friends with this little alien he calls... Tan."

Here's some good ones. I'm sure you've all seen these but they do belong here.

Hey stupid - are you too
dumb to know there are
4 different simultaneous
24 hour days within a
single rotation of Earth?
Greenwich 1 day is a lie.
4 quadrants = 4 corners,
and 4 different directions.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the upcoming doomsday from Planet X! Planet X is supposed to be visible in our skies right now and as it approaches it will stop our Earth's rotation. This was supposed to happen around May 15 2003.

The "proof" of the missing day of King David is pretty tasty baloney!

Do a search for "missing day" to get a host of pro and con websites! Be ready for a shock!
 
Full list of mad web sites is kept at http://www.crank.net, good resource. My personal favourite and one who has appeared on several boards I frequent is Jeff Ocal, author of <A href="http://home.comcast.net/~jeffocal/shadows.htm">Shadows</a>.

"...Because this device can and will make fossil fuels
obsolete. Not only can it provide clean, safe, and efficient
propulsion for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft and machinery of
every type, it can also be used to run ordinary electrical
generators, and collect far more energy than is required to
keep it running..."

The figures of half man half animal depicted in ancient egyptian paintings and sculpture are representations of the genetically deformed people from experiments the aliens performed when they visited them.

The thought screen helmet blocks telepathic communication between aliens and humans. Aliens cannot immobilize people wearing thought screens nor can they control their minds or communicate with them.

Results of the thought screen helmet exceeded expectations. Since January 2000 aliens have not taken any abductees while they were wearing thought screen helmets using Velostat shielding. See Case Histories and Testimonials.

Is this a joke?

Gee, I hope not. It would be so nice if these poor folks had some way to *stop* these dastardly abductions!

It never really did take off. If anyone objects we can always re-sticky.
