Wasn't that Jorge?

Magellan, IIRC.

Proving once again you've got a better memory than me.

Supersport could stack crazy on end for days. Only poster on the internet I've ever seen get dressed down by the author of a paper he was abusing, who had to register to tell him to cease and desist. Way to go and get him.

The electromagnet thing was from Magellan2004. He was a hoot.

Magellan was the gift that kept on giving -- and he even provided his own illustrations!

Here are two I saved showcasing his understanding of evolution:

Yup, evolution says starfish evolved from fish mating with stars



Magellan HorseMutation1.jpg
In order for a creature to evolve longer legs it had
to take place 1 leg at a time

Another one was his declaring that if you found your keys in your pocket that does not disprove that they're in a desk drawer.

I remember Magellan. Must have missed the electromagnet thing then.

That's not true?

Grocery stores have put up tables with hand sanitizers and latex gloves for shoppers.

Most grocery stores around here have had wipes and hand sanitizer at the front of the store for years.

And I have used those to wipe off the cart handles and the baby seat where I put my purse for years now.

Of course, I have to wash my hands when I come in from outside after filling the birdbath when the only things I've touched are my door handles.

Go figure.

He was ... special


To be fair he is not the only one out there claiming stuff like this so perhaps that's where he got it from (giving it his own twist)

I should add that the Turkish Holocaust denying creationist Harun Yahya (real name Adnan Oktar)^[1] has his own "interesting" version of this. From his website:

...Evolutionists say that fish, for example, have come from a creature that resembles a starfish. This means that one day, due to mutation, a starfish lost one of its arms, and during the next millions of years it lost all of its arms except for some that started by themselves to develop into fins.

Folks, this is just the sort of thing you just cannot make up. Here is an image from that webpage illustrating what he is babbling on about:

And here from his gloriously inept book Atlas of Creation is this including the caption:

00000000000000ab000-00aaaL2.jpg
For example, evolutionists claim that starfish evolved into real fish over millions of years.
According to that claim, there must exist many transitional forms between the two species.
However, not one fossil belonging to any such transitional form has ever been found.
There are starfish and fish in the fossil record, but no forms between the two.

1. Yahya and his group which are widely known for his use of blackmail, extortion and threats of violence against opposition, use of cocaine, and encouraging a theocratic revolution, were enthusiastically embraced by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), the YEC group founded by the "Father of the modern creationist movement" Henry Morris who then lied through their teeth about their association after news leaked out to non-YECs: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...l=1#post296919

But I'm pretty sure the rest of it came from him.

I always wondered where these came from!

It was most definitely not from roguetech labs. No siree.

Well I am pretty much in lockdown myself now. They said we could work from home so I am doing so. I have no need to go out anywhere soon so I am just gonna sit here and be an agoraphobe!

Being an introvert and running a home business, I'm cool with it. Downtown LA is like a ghost town. Normally the city is bustling.

Wow! I've seen DTLA when I take the train to/from Union Station.
