    Tomorrow's Crackpots Today!

    Crackpots always claim that their ideas aren't covered by the mainstream media. I don't know if the BAUT forum counts as mainstream media, but wouldn't it be neat if some crackpot of the future proposed an idea and someone could say. "Oh, that's not news. I read about it on the BAUT forum ten years ago. It's old hat." ?

    So let's see how well the skeptics on BAUT can predict the crackpot ideas of the future. Propose a new crackpot theory. Give at least a headline and sub-headlines. Let's start with something RCH-reasonable like:


    NASA IS BUILDING SECRET TUNNEL TO MARS!

    Tethered Satellite Pair Warps Space-Time.

    Objects Put In Deep Well in Texas Pass Through Center Of Earth And Emerge Near Red Planet.

    Frightening, I can see it now, although I more imagine a sort of Taco Dell cybercafé with fingerprints in sauce, beans, and pseudocheese all over the monitors (to match those on the burritos). Blech.

    The bleak economic predictions influenced the Disney Corporation decision to buy the country of Iceland and move all its operations there. A spokesperson for Disney revealed plans for exploiting the volcanoes for power and building all rides and structures out of ice. The only sad note is that the Icelandic government demands that Mickey Mouse be replaced by a cod fish.
