I feel closer to Bob Dobbs now than I ever have in my life. Does that count?

Edit: Smooth one, self.

He may or may not have created 4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth, but without a doubt he created a crappy website...

That, my friends, is a barely html-literate psychotic person. You can't ever diagnose someone without having met them, but I'd be very, very surprised if this guy wasn't suffering from untreated schizophrenia.

Sad, really.

Wow... Check some further info on this nut here:

http://www.satanosphere.com/story/2001/7/28/152548/138

Its a very left leaning site, but the commentary on that specific link, along with the interview of the crackpo err.....geniuserr....whatever....is very enlightening.

I used to listen to an internet comedy show called the Dan and Scott show and they interviewed this guy and made fun of him the whole time, funniest stuff I ever heard.

In my opinion, the person that created that site likely suffers from Schizoaffective Disorder (which is a combination of Schizophrenia and either Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder - I think this guy is likely manic when he is creating this web site.) The ideas and the use of color are consistent with mania induced delusions. The fact that the guy implies he has seen a psychiatrist who has deemed him schizophrenic is also informative. One of my Schizoaffective patients actually wrote something with a similar bent, but he just wrote his in a big journal (which he used to try to convince me he was right.)

Do people still make websites like this?


I remember back in the 90s when it was not uncommon to see the giant font and crazy ranting sites once in a while here and there. But I can't remember seeing one in a long time. None as bad as that one though.


Have you guys come across any similar sites like this one?

I hadn't seen an old-school crazy web-site for like a decade, but one night stumbling around for Lions news, I somehow came to this dude's page:

http://www.miketomich.com/Famous-Peo...es-Part-1.html

He pretty much attributes all the world's problems to power steering (and/or coloring books....and/or particularly heavy toys), with lots and lots of visual evidence of celebrity finger vectors.

That would be like me declaring that I had discovered proof that the real shooter of JFK was actually Billy Graham.

I like how some of those links no longer work. Like Kemp's family.

I was hoping to find someone who made this claim online but only managed to stumble across people who said Graham was part of the Zionist conspiracy that had JFK killed rather than the actual trigger man.
