Why I love the Internet

Read the rantings of the truly delusional. Read some more. Stop when your brain hurts. I always love it when someone like this proclaims that he is the wisest, smartest human on Earth.

It's like you can read what he's saying, and the individual words make sense. But when you string 'em together it's just not English anymore...

This guy sounds like some of my more paranoid clients...

The main problem with this theory is that its basic premise is flawed. He's treating the terminators between dayside/nightside and nightside/dayside as points, whereas they aren't even lines, they're curves. As they move, they're operating more like waves than what he's suggesting. More, the further addition of "midnight and midday" as points of reality aren't nearly as important as the terminators because they have no effective reality. They're arbitrary moments we define as being special because they're the halfway point between state differences that in two places on earth don't even exist in a day. I mean, around the summer solstice in the Arctic Circle, there's no nightfall at all. Where's his theory accounting for that?

No, it's bunk. Even when you CAN find out what the hell his supposedly important theory is, the facts dismantle it in mere moments. Amazing what the brain will let you ignore, isn't it?

Oh. My. Gawd.

It's like the Dr Bronner's soap labels strung out on
angel dust. Yeesh.

how ... bizarre ... about one screen of nonsense dressed-up in gratuitous insults, the whole repeated for more screens than I wanted to scroll down ...

I was thinking an "Eye of Argon"-like reading at some con at midnight. Alcohol would be involved.

What, you don't know the Eye of Argon?
