The Professor and crazed logic.

I haven't laughed so hard since the last time.

The Professor put up a post on UFO's to explain why he doesn't study them and within hours, the loonies descended upon him.

He's trying to use logic on them and it's not working. That last comment is so far out he's never going to be able to find an answer. He's speechless, and that's a rare occurrence!

He doesn't see that many of these people are attracted to fringe science simply because it's fringe. They don't want it brought into the mainstream. They don't want scientists to pick apart their pet subjects. They want it left as 'fringe' so they can keep it to themselves.

Romulus keeps trying to put a serious face on the paranormal but he's beating his head on a wall. Which reminds me - I haven't beat Stumpy's head against a wall for a while. Maybe later.

He's between a rock and a hard place. On one side are the mainstream scientists who won't even look at his subject. On the other are the lunatics (you just have to believe, man) who don't want him taking their toys away.

I once worried that he might succeed in proving the afterlife. My worries were unfounded. Mainstream science will never accept any evidence because the lunatic fringe will always pop up to destroy his credibility. No matter how careful he is, no matter how precise his experiments, the nuts will pop out of the woodwork to mess it up every time.

I'll have to tell this story to Death on his next visit. He'll be laughing until Judgement Day.

 

Anyway, back to that article. Only a few days left. I've decided on a Frankenstein approach because I haven't touched on that in a long time, and because Stumpy opened an overstuffed storage cupboard and gave me the idea.
