- The “God particle” may exist in five forms, LHC’s rival project finds – “Finding the Higgs boson is the primary aim of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment in Geneva, but new results from a rival study taking place in the US suggest there may be five versions of the elusive subatomic particle, which has never been detected despite five decades of research.” From Infinite Monkey.
- Fortune teller can continue getting paid to gaze into the future – Maryland’s court, “… didn’t vouch for the reliability of fortunetellers but said that they have the right to share insights they glean from tarot cards, tea leaves or the stars.” From Max.
- Woman feared death after “monstrous experiment” – “Prominent toxicologist Peter Dingle says claims he made a pact to write a book about his wife being cured of cancer using alternative therapies are ridiculous.” From John.
- Congressional candidate claims Feds and BP spilled oil on purpose – “Randall, who has aligned himself with the tea party movement, readily acknowledges that he has no evidence that what he says is true. But that is not stopping him from making the claim.” From Jonas.
That dude must be the laziest conspiracy theorist I’ve ever heard of. He can’t even be bothered to come up with a motivation for his conspiracy.
More importantly though, and also from The Vancouver Sun: German Student Attacks Hells Angels With Puppy
What the hell is wrong that the most insane people around are the only ones running for office anymore. The problem isn’t “Big Government,” the problem is fucking morons.
@Zapski: Nothing wrong with fucking morons. But the pillow talk afterwards sucks …
I’m not saying that Randall rapes kittens and then eats them while they are still alive. I don’t have any proof that he sold secrets to the Russians when he was in the Navy. I can’t think of any reason why he would kidnap suburban housewives and sell them to donkey show managers in Mexico. I don’t have any facts that would point to the fact that he is actually a reptillian alien from the planet Mongo who is actually a sleeper agent for an all out invasion that will put all christians in chains. I can’t think of anything that would in any way prove that he enjoys being saddlebacked by horses. All I am saying is that these all need to be investigated and publicized. If for no other reason that it will prove or disprove the rumor that he likes to smear himself in dog shit and run naked howling down mainstreet under the full moon. It just needs to be investigated.
@exarch: Yeah, I’ve noticed that when I’ve fucked
Republicansmorons. Great in the sack, but there’s not much in the noggin’.@Gabrielbrawley: Oh, Gab. I <3 you so. COTW.
@Gabrielbrawley: That is the most coherent conspiracy theories I’ve ever heard. So much so that the more I think about it, the more I believe it. I think you’ve stumbled upon something!
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW!
You know, there’a more evidence that Carl Rove conspired with a person on the drill to take advantage of problems with Deep Horizon to cause Obama’s Katrina.
After all, Carl Rove is the king of dirty tricks, and it did happen early in the Obama administration, and if his co-conspirator was one of the people killed in the explosion…well, dead men tell no tales.
I’m not making accusations, I’m just asking questions.
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW. Brilliant, on-target, C o’ the effin’ W!
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW – You nailed it, completely. “I have no evidence, nor a motive for this completely made up accusation, admittedly, but I still think it should be investigated.”
And right before elections, too!
And I am completely dumbfounded by the Maryland Courts decision. It is free speech to give a reading – so long as you aren’t selling it.
But when you sell it, you are moving into an area of fraud unless you can prove the veracity of your service. Which lets face it he can’t or he would be at least 1 million dollars richer through our friend Randi.
You know, someone should put up a little website of Gabrielbrawley’s conspiracy theories about Randall.
@Gabrielbrawley: Yep, COTW.
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW.
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW.
I don’t want to miss the party, after all.
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW
@Imrryr: Nothing worse than a lazy conspiracy theorist. It is funny to see the other side of the loony coin from the Bush knew before hand and allowed 9-11 to happen wingnuts I hear all the time around here.
@James Fox: just remember that we on the left don’t elect our loony bin conspiracy theorists into office. :D
Have you all seen this craziness, the url sums it up well:

@Gabrielbrawley
That was awesome! COTW
@GabrielBrawley: I will also surf the COTW landslide
@James Fox: Agreed, at least the crazy guy who writes to the local paper about chemtrails and mind-control fluoride does something vaguely resembling research. Mr. Randall isn’t even trying. If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s running for office, that guy’s opinions would never make the news at all. I really must insist that if you’re going to announce a new conspiracy theory, you really need to bring your A game. It’s no fair that Mr. Randall’s half-assed government and BP joining forces for evil theory is stealing the thunder from so many crazier and more well thought out theories.
Oh, and on the subject of 9/11, I support the Semicontrolled Demolition Theory .
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW! COTM!! COTY!!!
@Gabrielbrawley COTW
Well played sir. Well played indeed.
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW
@Imrryr: Had me worried there for a second. ;-)
I’ve never nominated anyone for the quote of the week and I’m not about to start now, but Gab … that skewered the agenda driven dickead.
STADD
@Gabrielbrawley: COTW ! :-)
