Blow away a reptile, and each splattered fragment grows into a new reptile. You wouldn’t want that to happen with _these_ reptiles! Wait a minute. Does this have something to do with Ken Ham’s theory that dinosaurs walked among us? ---

> [@Okrahoma](#): > > … when I think people cannot get any weirder - they do. Is this the first you’re hearing of reptilians? If it is, google the term and be prepared for some, um, interesting reading. David Icke, a former UK soccer player, is perhaps the person most associated with the conspiracy theory that shape-shifting lizards have implanted themselves into humanity and control the world, more or less. ---

His accusation was more serious than it first appears, cos the cult is specifically **against** reptiles in human shape. It’s like accusing the Pope of being a secret Mormon. _Mineo and Rogers were followers of Sherry Shriner, a self-proclaimed granddaughter of King David who calls herself a “Servant, Prophet, Ambassador, Daughter, and Messenger of the Most High God.” Shriner preaches that the “New World Order” is colluding with aliens and demons to take over the world; that a mystical substance called Orgone can kill zombies; and that reptilian aliens pose as humans and dump snakes down people’s throats to “scalp” their souls._ **[Daily Beast](http://www.thedailybeast.com/reptile-cult-feud-over-raw-meat-ends-in-death)** ---

But you were supposed to sit in it to cure yourself of illnesses and maintain your optimum health. There was nothing on the description card about killing zombies with it. Wonderful place, that museum was. I’m so glad I bought the souvenir book it sold. ---
