The wonderful thing about the internet is that it has given an audience to almost everyone on the planet. Including many people we would have preferred remain hidden in the dank corners of the world (David Icke?) We’ve had a number of posters here over the years espousing ‘kookie’ views, from faked moon landings, to the meaning of phi.
So, what are your favorite kook-science web-sites? Where can I learn about these suppressed and little-understood wonders of the universe?
The hollow Time Cube in which the 4
quadrant corners of Earth rotate, equates to
your 4 corner bedroom, or to a 4 corner
classroom which represents the 4 corners
of Earth - in which stupid and evil pedants
teach dumb students 1 corner knowledge.
Whilst Papermache Prince has indeed posted the number one contender, it’s a crowded field. Your best bet is to have a look for one of the sites that index these things for you. Google turns up this one, which, upon quick inspection appears to be chock full of various lunacy. I wish you many hours of fun, gazing in horror upon terrible theories and rancid web design,
Donna Kossy wrote this great book called “Kooks” which was actually my impetus for visiting one of the “kooks” listed in the book, The House on the Rock. If you’re ever in Southwestern Wisconsin and have a couple hours, it’s a must see.
Anyways, Ms Kossy has a great website that lists a lot more of these kooks.
Well, I came in here to mention the Time Cube guy and Crank Dot Net, but Papermache Prince and counsel wolf beat me to it. Well, anyway, there’s this. And check out the name of the guy who compiled the FAQ. Here’s another guy who believes the same crap. I hate to link to the Google cache of that last site, but the site itself isn’t working right now for some reason.
I’ve been to the House on the Rock. We did the whole thing in about two hours, but we were moving at a dead run since it was close to closing time. Next time we do it, we’re planning on taking all day. I’d highly recommend it.
My favorite part was probably the Victorian village smack in the middle of it. Either that or the giant whale room. Or the huge spinning carousel. Or the perspective room. Or…you get the point.
Neil Gaiman wasn’t kidding when he said it was labyrinthine. If it weren’t for the marked path I probably wouldn’t have been able to find my way back out. If you’re in the mood for a $20 multihour mindfuck in the middle of the Wisconsin woods, you could do worse.
