[100 nonsensical posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=3682412), all in the same [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=483679), without answering any of the simplest questions from other posters, and without interruption by any posts to any other threads. Most trolls and most loons don’t get that far, and few have such single-minded determination, so congratulations on your century. :dubious: ---

Wow. Allow me to sum up the first two pages: **maatorc:** “The Grail myth is another example of how the pineal gland is responsible for all great literature and religious traditions” **Others:** “_Que_?” **maatorc:** “Jesus, Osiris, Kaballah, the Grail, the underlying truth in all of them is the pineal gland!” **Others:** “But the pineal gland wasn’t discovered until thousands of years after the story of Osiris” **maatorc:** “The story of Osiris was subconsciously influenced by the pineal gland” **Others** : “The underlying messages of these stories are all different. [Explanation of underlying stories follows]” **maatorc:** “Those are, of course, not the _real_ underlying messages” **Others:** “Well, what are they, then?” **maatorc:** “Pineal gland!” ---

Well, so \*that’s \*a pineal gland. A tiny speck of learning in a sea of nutty. OK, so that’s my ray of sunshine for the day. But I did learn something. ---

If you take a picture of a pineal gland, open it in Photoshop, and zoom in really close, you see that it is made up of millions of tiny pineal glands. And each one of those is made up of millions of even tinier pineal glands. And each one of _those_ is made up of millions of really, _really_ tiny pineal glands. And what, you ask, are _those_ pineal glands made out of? More pineal glands, I bet you’ll say, but you’re wrong: they’re made out of bacon. Until then, though, it’s Gland City. ---

Doesn’t this thread count as a post party? The only good thing to come out of the pineal gland (other than melatonin) is the awesome phrase ‘brain sand’. ---

And Maatorc clocks out at 114 continous posts of drivel. That’s the number of chapters in the Koran and also the number of logia in the Gospel of Thomas – clearly a sacred marriage that is the definitive proof of the unifying myth of occult anatomy. ---
