It sounds like he is listening to Art Bell too much on the radio late at night. I’d suggest finding a way to get the guy into an astronomy course. ---

Fenris, it is quite evident at this point, that like baiting ravenous wolverines smelling the fetid odor of fresh ignorance, you are merely teasing us with your un-touchable little stealth kook. "Oh he’s ripe all right, full of fresh, self satisfied kookiness but I can’t touch him and neither can you. –“Moon handing’s a hoax! Face on Mars is deliberate!”– “Ahhh… you can almost taste the ignorance it can’t you?” I hope you’re very proud of yourself for tormenting us all. ---

All conspiracy “theories” can be dismissed on the same grounds: The number of people who would have to be involved in a hoax on the scale of faking the moon landing, or a plot on the scale of assassinating the president, automatically dooms such endeavors to failure. —There would be no way to, for instance, detain each and every individual who’s supposed to have a “brain microchip” planted in them. It would also require more than just one surgeon, and how could you keep all those people quiet? —Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead. Well, I suppose the medical staff who inserted the “microchips” could be disposed of. But that would require even more people to comply, like if they all got on the same doomed charter plane, the FAA would have to be kept out of it. —People change alliances in all situations. And the level of tension in a project like “faking” the moon landing would eventually cause someone to snap and someone else to die. —Look how easily the Watergate break-in was foiled. All it takes is one Frank Wills to rattle the doorknob. —How is the “face on Mars” being “covered up”? Does he mean information about it is being suppressed? ("We want information…information…information…) Or do we all have microchips that prevent us from seeing it properly? —Oswald was aiming at Connally. Simple as that. ---

There will be some nice men coming by to talk in a few moments, and they’re bringing the gravy. And please stay close to the window, Mr. Fenris. -MIB ---

Small explanation: when i was a little kid who didn’t speak english. i remember watching some subtitled cartoon with peek-a-boo in it. I have never heard that expression before until now (weird eh?)…so you can imagine my reaction when i imagined the nasa calling a mission “peek-a-boo”. and yes, i shouldn’t revive old threads…i humbly apologize. i just wanted mrblue92 to know how much i enjoyed it. I am also aware of the existence of PMs…look! leave me alone ok? /gozu goes to a corner and starts crying ---

Now that it was revived… I must tell the story of this professor. I went to this university to get my Master’s Degree (won’t say which, of course), and the first day of class, the professor, an MD, started telling us of how he believed in black magic and the evil eye and such… Needless to say I quit his class. So much brain put to so little use. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-new-employee-or-good-heavens-what-have-i-done/65042.md?page=2)
