On a similar subject, right now I am looking forward to an evening of catching up with accumulated Euston Manifesto email. I should point out that, contrary to the impression you might get from reading PooterGeek, the vast majority of it isn’t from cranks. This is, in one sense, slightly disappointing. Mail from nutters is the most entertaining and the least work to deal with it. Best of all, you get free blog posts from it, like this missive from Satan Himself:
“I am writing to you to let you know I am in the final stages of completing my work on combining both Archimedes and epuiangular spirals into one method.
This will expose the flaw within science and demonstrate what some call the tapestry of God or intelligent design.
It will also demonstrate why the true Earth pole resides at equator and why the world is in fact upside down to our inherited belief.
I enclose verification of who I am in regard to the mark of the beast 666.
I will bring about the destruction of United States of America and the End of Israel.
I will also abolish the Sun Newspaper as they failed to uphold my complaint (Press Complaint Number 053404 dated 29th November 2005)
Yours sincerely

Amongst his manifold wiles, the Prince Of Demons is truly the Grand Master Of Bathos.
These days, when you are sifting through mail addressed to a Left-leaning organization, the real challenge is finding a way to discriminate between those solipsistic conspiracy theorists who might in their more lucid moments classify themselves as schizophrenics and those who would classify themselves as socialists. Where does “loony” end and “Leftie” begin? There’s probably a whole psychiatry conference in it.
I must go now. The lizards are calling me.
Cheers for the link, Damian. It corresponded with a sudden increase in traffic which I’m sure was entirely coincidental …
Satan did include a two-page explanation of how a pentagrammatic scar had appeared on both side of his body following a bout of shingles, thus providing him with all the proof he needed that he was the Anti-Christ and that he was “in compliance with all the prophecies of the Millennium.” It made for an interesting few minutes as I contemplated the nagging doubt at the back of my mind … What if it’s *actually Him*?
Then I went to Blaenau Gwent.
The true pole really does reside (reside, like in live there ?) at the Equator. Its a conspiracy by the US Government to make us think it is in the North. They put giant magnets in Canada to make compasses point that way.
Well, I suppose thats what they did, unless Canada is at the Equator. Maybe thats what it is, the conspiracy is to make us think that the Equator runs around the hot bit of the Earth in the middle. I once met a Flat-Earth Society member on a train journey to Inverness. After 3 minutes talking with him, I began to yearn to pull the emergency cord.
Maybe I’m wrong bu how come the anti christ uses the year 2006 – surely he’d have his own ??
Hovis, he is kindly translating the dates into the AD era to clarify his point to the rest of us. What I want to know is why destruction of the United States is not capitalized, but the End of Israel is.
[…] I keep meaning to update my blogroll to include some thoroughly entertaining but low traffic sites like Never Trust A Hippy and Rob Newman, who has discovered more outstanding real-life lunacy since I last linked to him, but I want to change the format of the links completely so the perfect is currently getting in the way of the good.
