There was that one guy who was convinced the earth was a hollow sphere. And he had cites to prove it too. Unfortunately, they were all in Polish. ---

There was the poster who was obsessed with the idea that the actress who played Daisy on Downton Abbey might be pregnant. There was the poster who was convinced that she was friends with a ghost, but, to her credit, seemed at least open to discussing the idea that she might be making it up, and discussing ways to verify its existence. ---

Honestly the real issue there was her adoration for Insane Clown Posse. Do we count **Cesario** , or what his impassioned defense of pedophilia too disgusting to be considered odd? ---

Actually that thread stands as one of the board’s ugliest examples of self-righteous, but erroneous, “group think”. Blake was essentially correct (nit-picking is always possible) and the people arguing against him were wrong in a dozen different ways – but no one cared about the gross lapses of logic from the posters who were on the same side as themselves. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=230754&page=4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=230754&page=4) The thread was re-animated this year. Best evidence currently available: YouTube video showing a cougar jumping about a meter, and a Savannah Cat reaching 48". The links in the reactivated thread are still working. Your “two foot” reference is wrong. That was an initial value from Blake that he indicated was being made from memory, and was altered to “about a meter” after he checked his sources. Of course if you have better evidence than that presented please offer it up. Better evidence is always a good thing. ---

My wife just reminded me of this - can’t remember the poster name or anything, but wasn’t there a person who was obsessed with the idea of preserving the placenta post-birth, so that it could be used for…something or other?
