Build your own catacombs

Feeling like your basement isn’t creepy enough? Looking for a place to stash your victims? Build a catacombs under your basement.

The best part about this article are the questions it leaves unanswered… such as “Where do I find the minions to populate my catacombs?” and “Should I coat the punji sticks with feces or not?”

God has a website

He’s also:
  • a fan of Jim Carrey,
  • Being tracked by the CIA and FBI, and
  • Suing David Copperfield because David’s tricks are real, and this dude holds the patent on “godly powers.” Ok – he doesn’t hold the patent yet – but he has applied for it. Pretty much the same thing, right?

Looks to me like another street theater believing paranoid. Here’s the site.

Here’s some YouTube stuff. He’s probably the least convincing god-complex paranoid I’ve seen – like he’s not even trying.

The nefarious side to the recent the DST changes. . .

Changes to DST == liberal conspiracy

This is either the work of an articulate madwoman or one of the best prank letters I’ve seen in a while. It’s short, so here’s the whole thing:

Daylight exacerbates warning

You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they ? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

Attack of the killer books.

This sounds like something straight out of the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy ...

An author wants to sell his book in the local council tourist information centre. . . and they won’t let him unless he purchases something like £2 million in liability insurance at £150 (yearly, I presume).

I wonder if they’re going to sell it behind the sign that says “beware of the jaguar?”

He stole my joke.

The sun revolves around the earth

Kookiness from the highest authority

Unbelievable.

Given the vastness of the universe and the tinyness of the human race, I just cannot understand the cockiness of these people to think that everything was made exclusively for human consumption, or that a “creator” would care where I put my pee-pee.

Extending that selfishness out to its “logical” conclusion, the entire universe rotates around the earth. It’s so obvious! THEY don’t want your children to know!

Of course, this fixed earth site ignores the really hard question: is the earth flat and stationary?

Yup. Pretty much.

Earth-Angel Realtor

This looks like a relatively normal homemade website for a realtor in Canada. . . until you visit the “EARTH-ANGEL HERE” page. Then all sorts of kookiness breaks loose.

Of the religious kooks out there, this chap seems like he’s got a sense of humor about it. He’d probably be at least interesting, if he’s not totally bat-shit in person.

1-31-2007 - Never forget

As a (near) Bostonian, I’m just glad I survived yesterday.

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

Besides the infamous Time Cube site, I really don’t think I’ve seen a stranger site than this one .

The images look like The Point meets Left Behind, full of half-jokes and unconvincing straw-men.

Just when I think I have a hold on internet kookiness, something as intricate and bizarre as this crops up. Sigh. . .
