I emailed the Time Cube guy

[Mangetout]

Just for a laugh, I thought I’d email Gene Ray, crackpot author of the TimeCube site. Here’s what I wrote:

From: Mangetout
To: Gene Ray
Subj: Refutation of 4-days-per-24-hour rotation

Hi Gene

On your website, you claim there are four separate days per 24 hour rotation of Earth, to wit:
1-Midday to midday = a 24 hour day rotation.
2-Sundown to sundown = a 24 hour day rotation.
3-Midnight to midnight = a 24 hour day rotation.
4-Sunup to sunup = a 24 hour day rotation.

This is easily disproven by defining any number of other 24-hour periods, such as:
-Teatime to Teatime = a 24 hour day rotation (Teatime occurs at precisely 4PM, by the way)
-Elevenses to Elevenses = a 24 hour day rotation between these important mid-morning snacks
-Breakfast to Breakfast = a 24 hour day rotation
-Brunch to Brunch = a 24 hour day rotation

And so on; your four points - midday, sundown, midnight and sunup are no more or less arbitrary than the points I have descibed above, or indeed any other arbitrary point.

My name is Mangetout and I claim the $10,000. Please contact me to arrange payment.

What do you think will happen? My bet is an abusive reply.

You called this guy a “crackpot?” You are far too kind, my friend.

I expect that the response you get will be one of visceral hate.

Who the hell* is* this guy? Jeeezuz.

I thought about emailing him too, however, Mom always told me not to make fun of the mentally retarded.

I started reading all that, but I’m clearly too stupid, so now I am off to die.

Santa debases women? :dubious: I must’ve forgotten that part of the story…

There is a second page. Looks even better than the first page.

[kurilla]

It disturbs me that I know who the Time Cube guy is without following the link.

It’s even more disturbing that I’m not the only one who does.

@Dag Otto

There is a second page. Looks even better than the first page.

And then at the bottom, it asks if you are Jewish!? What a valuable website! I honestly believe this guy (well, I would if I only had 2 brain cells…)

Seriously…this was a little neat. I mean, it made me laugh, so it can’t be all bad.

I think he laid out his opinion of non-believers quite clearly on page 1.

@Nutjob Q. Whackadoodle

If ignorant of the almighty Time Cube Creation Truth, you deserve to be killed.

So there you are. You can probably expect an unfriendly knock at the door shortly.

Your father was a fish. You evolved
from an egg laid in water, fertilized by
a sperm fish swimming upstream -
just as salmon swim up stream to
fertilize female egg laid in the water.
Maybe, you should worship a fish god.

A sperm fish?

You are ignorant of the Sperm Fish? :eek:
Prepare for your smiting.

Hey, hey. The Sperm Fish God is a peaceful God. He’s all about love and bumping uglies to whale music.

I was having a Dr. Bronner-esque good time until the racist stuff on page two.

[Greebo_Ogg]

woah…

Unfortunately, he’s already anticipated your objection:

@Dr. Gene Ray

There are 4 simultaneous days
(dumb fools claim infinite days)
created within a single rotation
of Earth.

Oh, he’s a crafty one.

Damn.

Dear Dr. Gene “BatShit Crazy” Ray

You could use a bit of website development.

Yah.

It’s too “plain vanilla”.

Hey, I was trying to get out the door for lunch. Besides, his breed of loon doesn’t deserve a thoughtful bashing. At least I don’t think so, it all just ran together so bad my ignorant dog brain couldn’t follow along.

@that -1x-1=-1 guy

Adam and Eve were created at the same time,
but sexless. A rib was removed from eve and
a hole left to make a woman of her. The rib
was stuck on Adam to make a man of him -
and Eve is still trying to get her rib back.

It always comes down to penis envy… :smack:

[slortar]

Please tell me you used an anonymous email address. Provoking the insane is not a good idea.

Of course, I doubt he’s mentally competent to actually be able to get to you, so that’s a relief.
