I hope you don't mind if I share this but I received the following bizarre message today:

If he's going to create a shocking site with me in mind, I hope it a least has something to do with women!

ROFLMAO

Don't hold your breath awaiting something exciting, Art. This poor demented soul just may actually believe he has something earth shattering, but based on past experience. . . .

It is difficult to take seriously somebody who, despite numerous and detailed explanations, refuses to understand (or even consider) that JPEG artifacts are the cause of the "anomalies" he is seeing. That he uses a magnifying glass to examine these JPEGs on his monitor screen is just icing on the (fruit)cake.

Don't know how you could have missed him. He said he's run us all through with his sword of truth. I'm still feeling pretty healthy.
He's barking mad.

elision not in original post...

Aiee! You named Him Who Was Not To Be Named!

(Sheesh...)

I love jpeg anomalies, especially the "outline" or "halo" effect. I've actually had to explain to people that these are *NOT* "Kirlian Auras."

Piper was an online terrorist who appeared (on the old board) shortly after the Fox TV show. He would start every post (including responses) with huge JPEGs purporting to show "anomalies" he had found in lunar pictures. One was a shot of the rover that he claimed must have been dropped there with a crane, since there were no visable tracks. Pointing out that the astronauts had been working around the rover and kicking dirt over the tracks was useless. Another of his favorites was a picture of a large boulder with the rover (partially obscured by the foreground) parked in front of it. According to Piper, this was actually a house, complete with a satelite dish on top. People tried everything to try to explain it to him, including finding a picture taken from the rover showing the astronaut taking the picture. When confronted, his response was to say that we were in denial. Most of us gave up and quit responding to his posts and he went away.

Anyway, if you want to see his "proof" for yourself, his website is here:

Ater seeing that load of bilge, you might feel a need to go here to refresh yourself:

I'm sorry - I guess I didn't do the 60's right - the only thing on the entire site that I could see was the face in the trees!

Now i rember him.

Ohh well, Shocking [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Ooh! I remember Piper! He's the one who insulted me for being a computer prgrammer/LAN Technician, touted his status as an unemployed auto mechanic as a sign of brilliance, and when someone gave him a rather lengthy dissertation on digital photography and image distortion, his response was (almost verbatim): "This is meaningless and stupid. I don't have time to read this."

Ah, Piper.

Has HWSNBN turned his purblind vision towards the images of the Martian South Pole yet? I wonder what he'll see there <sigh>

The old phrase used to be "Castles in Spain" for nebulous pipedreams; I now propose to use "JPEGS in Vain" for nebulous piperdreams.

Something that will shock me? Mr Le Pen singing in a gospel choir? Margaret Thatcher lap-dancing? Mr Bush solving tensor calculus mentally against the clock? Or - stereograms! That's it! HWSNBN can claim anything he likes about a stereogram. Much as he does already about JPEGs.

The P-word's meds have worn off again. Won't someone please hop off to the dispensary to get him some Etorphine? 4mg's should do.
