I doubt any of you were around online long enough ago to remember Bob McElwain. I tried doing a google search, but came up with other people of the same name. Not surprising, this guy was pre-www Internet, back when Gopher and Usenet ruled supreme. He posted crap like this all the time. And I mean ALL THE TIME. He was the master of the Usenet cross-post and he posted so frequently that in one month he had the second highest post count on the Internet, beaten only by an automated system.
He would post stuff about how the Earth was hollow, how the patent office had plans for a time-travel spacecraft that he built, and how Adam and Eve were genetic clones from a spacefaring race of cannibals who's descendents became the "ZIONI$T JEW$" that were breeding the rest of humanity as foodstock.
I actually met the guy. He was a physics student at a little Wisconsin campus, but he was like 40-50 years old and never showered. And he could really talk your ear off. If you think pages like the one linked above are long and wacked, it's nothing compared to the first-hand experience.
Edit: Doh! Found stuff by searching for Robert McElwain.

His ever-so-classic
MARK-OF-THE-BEA$T bar-code$/scanner$ post. You couldn't read Usenet back then without tripping over this post. It was worse than popup ads.
And
here's that post about cannibal Jehova.
