I came across Crank Dot Net today – a web site devoted to collecting links to material published on the web by cranks, crazies, and the simply misguided. It’s a salutary experience to use the site as a jumping-off point to visit the wider reaches of the human propensity for credulity. However, I do find myself having to come up for air after a very short while of trawling through the tripe.
I think there must also be some sort of correlation between craziness and the inability to construct a web site without resorting to coloured text on a black background.
