I once traveled a lot. I met a lot of people who held different value systems and thought differently from myself.

But I never met anyone as far out as some of the folks right here in the US.

There is a large group of people that think the Queen of England is a direct relation to Jesus the Christ and always has been. If you start to run through the history of the English Kings they start to rant that what you are saying is impossible.

Another group is out there that thinks all the wisdom in the world was given by visitors from another planet to a Plumber in Chicago in 1955, and that when you die you go to a large University somewhere for 1,000 years. And that is their description of Heaven. It sounds more like Hell to me.

But the strangest of all is the Church of the Sub-Genius because they admit they are a fake church with a totally wacko set of doctrine. In 1983 they published 'The Book of the Sub-Genius' by their High Nabob, Ivan Stang, (Stang was actually a cameraman for a local TV station for a time) in which Pope Stang made a series of predictions that sounded loony. I think the time line was around fifteen years out because after that the people from planet X would come, in 1996, and take all the faithful with them.

After fifteen years 50% of the predictions had come true. Some of these were very specific as to day and place, and this makes Stang the most accurate predictor of the future ever. (And as weird as it sounds... That is true.)

After 1996 came and went a revolt of sorts took place in the Church in which Stang was called a bunch of very bad names. He consulted 'the texts' and discovered that he had been reading them upside down! X day would not be until 9661, so there is still plenty of time to get ready.

So..... If enough folks have to time to pump out the content then anything is possible.
