I wonder if he wore a cool tin foil hat too? I hear its meant to block out little green men reading your brainwaves. :-)
Now, as funny as this seems, it actually is quite a psychosis with some people. I knew a guy, very very intelligent, dux of Uni etc, anyway...one day he just snapped. No reason, they just found him blubbering under his bed about aliens invading his brain. Often after that he would go screaming thru the streets of eastern suburbia Perth on his bicycle. He used to always stop and talk to me if I was out front of my house.
The amazing things that used to go thru his mind. It was very difficult to think that this was just a man who's brain snapped. Things he talked about were with such clarity. He was never deemed a danger to society, and he lived alone, so he definately wasn't a fully fledged fruit cake. He would talk about how we have been scanned for many years by aliens, and how they didn't jsut take intelligent people to analize, that they also took normal & stupid people too. He had a room in his house which was covered in tinfoil. This is where he would drag you for 'private' conversations. I never used to laugh at him, because he genuinely believed it all to be true. And I guess I found it hard to beleive that someone so intelligent would just one day turn into a raving loon, which he wasn't. He KNEW what he was talking about.
So..the ravings of a nutter or an actuality? I have never truly been convinced that there wasn't at least some element of fact in what he said.
So maybe...that indicates I could be psychologically unbalanced too ?? ;-)
