For Quasimodo's Eyes Only

Post by _moksha »

Merry Christmas season to you!

Hey, I was clearing out my computer and ran across this strange file. I dimly remember some of the names, but I can't place the topic. I know it has to be from the old MAD board, but it seems so odd that I am curious what it was they were talking about and why I saved it. I have narrowed it down to the following possibilities:

1. The Book of Abraham
2. The Origin of the Species
3. The Theory of Relativity

Anyway, here is the old file.

maklelan - His methodology is to conjure up things in his head that have no relationship to reality, and then write them down as if they did. It's hokum.

Storm Rider - As a matter of course I also tend to discount these kinds of claims regardless of their topic.

mormonnewb - Given the exacting nature of the work involved and the extraordinary claims made, it is hard for me to give it any credence given that it may not have been vetted in any manner prior to publication.

There is so little information available regarding this and what is is very sketchy.

The Nehor - I'm not sure it is a fake. I am hovering around 99.9999873% sure. There is no one more self-assured of their own understanding then a total idiot.

Palerider - I'm saying it's bogus until somebody proves me wrong.

calmoriah - There is no statement on where he got his doctorate from even though he rated "with honours" is mentioned, another red flag.

Robert F. Smith - Meantime, how about some curriculum vitae details about Deleanu?

thesometimesaint - I'm willing to withhold judgment until it is corroborated by more sources. But am skeptical.
