There is an MP3 on that entry, obviously, and you should NOT listen to it, but you will. Very long intro, over a minute and a half long, so you can skip that. Also, some commercials.

What is your point?
 
Listen to the mp3 and you will know unimaginable insanity comparable to gazing upon Cthulhu.
 
I can't get it to load. Could you summarize it? Thanks.
 
A guy that thinks HIV and AIDS was created by the government on purpose is arguing with a guy who thinks that HIV and AIDS doesn't exist.

Of course, this thing is an hour long (try right-clicking and save as) so it's a lot more mind-numbing.

Oh, and both of them are doctors apparently. Some pretty big titles from what I understood.

Oh, wow! Like a "clash of the titans", except with crackpots? :smile:
 
The commercials are even more hilarious. I can't even try to describe those. One of them is saying magnets are good because they take the poles apart or something and it let's you heal it. Another saying Himalayan ionic salt is all natural therefore will help you.
 
Loops, you should listen to Coast to Coast on occasion. It will eventually numb you to the sheer insanity of what people will believe in. And it's sometimes entertaining. Not so much anymore though since Art Bell rarely hosts.

:smile: I've always thought it might be entertaining to just refer the crackpots to one another.

I turned in on early this morning during a fit of insomnia. Art was actually hosting. Some guy called into report that the moon was getting bigger. He said he was sure because he had been measuring it.

Please tell me he actually explained how he measured it... that must have been just amazing.

He had the ruler exactly two inches from his eye.

I was hoping for something like "I took a ruler at arms length" or something.

A guy in our town, with AIDS, was caught cutting himself and putting his blood in ketchup bottles at our local IHOP...

What an idiot. The oxygen in the air will kill all the HIV in his blood before someone can ingest it.

Yes, because the whole "oxygen killing the HIV" thing is the part that makes him an idiot.
