In summary, the most extreme boloney is that aliens abduct people and that the thought screen helmet is a way to stop them.

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.

My Hall of Fame vote

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.

Uniquely Bolonious!

A few headlines:
CONTACT! Canadian Crop Circle Researcher Matt Rock Identifies the Constellation Pisces as Point of Origin for English Formations
Recurring Crop Circle Pictograms Could Be the Keys to a Dialogue
and...
Are Earthquakes the Key to Unlimited Free Energy?
in which we discover
The engine that powers the earthquake is “The Zero Point” energy (ZPE)

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.
