    What? No reference to how Richard Hoagland uses this to "verify" his wacky "hyperdimensional physics"?

    Richard Hoadland = Science Fiction...

    @Allen_Richards: He equals the definition of complete insanity and it amazes me that people give him a platform to stand on and spout his nonsense.

    @Makidian: I actually like this appearances on Coast to Coast. He's so amazingly batshit that he's one of their best guests. I've thought about buying his NASA book just to see what sort of nonsense he has to say.

    Man, I'm actually in the mood to break out my Face on Mars videos.... Ugh...if only my vhs player worked....

    @Allen_Richards: I was watching some 2012 nonsense on SyFy the other day and just cracking up at his theories. The guy could probably sell himself a little better if he a) didn't look like a deranged old man and b) didn't seem like he was about to sart saying wakka wakka wakka physics Mayans blah blee bloo. Then again he could be so crazy something he says ends up actually being true. But most of what he talks about and the way he presents it, it just ends up sounding like pseudo science hogwash.

    See the biggest problem with this story is that the YouTube video of the explanation sent me into a 3 hour look at conspiracy videos.

    I had no idea that people actually believed Hitler launched an invasion from Mars from a secret UFO base in Antarctica that you can find on Google Earth.

    There isn't a tinfoil hat in the world big enough to contain that amount of crazy.

    It's times like this that I'm glad I'm not doing phone tech support anymore. I can't imagine how many people will call in from places nowhere near Scandinavia insisting that no, THIS is what fried their hard drives or ate their data or made their monitor lose pixels.
