Subject : Hello

Howdy,
Your site offers a 1000 dollar bounty to disprove your "wisdom claim". In the next five points I will illustrate in painfully gory detail that you are living a complete lie and leave only small remnants of you shattered beliefs ricocheting in your hollow cranium. Actually no, I'm sure you get mail from people like me all the time that have a much greater intellect then you. You probably just dismiss them like all other religious fanatics when confronted with logic as your mind has become corrupted by the inane crap you peddle. However if you are unable to counter any of these five points with logic I will hold you true to your 1000 dollar claim and will visit you personally to collect the money owed if necessary. I will probably collect it late at night while you believe you are safe in your home, sleeping in your bed and dreaming of the day when the aliens come to take you to the big cube in the sky.

1. Because the Earth's axis is not 90 degrees perpendicular to the sun the period of time between Sun-up, Midday, Sun-down and Midnight is not constant. Therefore the facets of your cube model would skew depending on what point in the year it is, making it no longer a cube but a ever changing extruded quadrilateral. However "Time Ever Changing Quadrilateral" doesn't have the same impact as "Time Cube" so I'd leave it the way it is, but put a disclaimer on top proclaiming that in fact it is actually a ever changing extruded quadrilateral and not a cube.

2. Your model also does not account for regions above the arctic circle and below the Antarctic circle. Since these regions see the sun for a full six months at a time your theorem will become even further skewed and starts looking like a demented hourglass or something. Now that this new evidence has been brought to light you should change your theorem or religion or whatever you call it to "Time Demented Hourglass", as it sounds better then "Time Ever Changing Extruded Quadrilateral" and is much more accurate then "Time Cube".

3. You have not provided any evidence as to how your time cube has endued you with enlightenment. Especially when your site makes you come across as the "escaped lunatic mad doctor" type. I fail to see how four, six hour days gives you any superior mental abilities over a single 24 hour day. Please explain these points to me further as your site does not elate to them in any way. Further more I would appreciate it if your explanation does not include any references to "magic crystals" or "Santa Claus".

4. You have referred to all things in nature being cubic. As proof of this you have broken down one day into four simultaneous days by approaching the concept in a nonlinear fashion. However you have not taken the same approach to the year. While there are four seasons there are only two simultaneous seasons at any given point during the year. This is also due to the Earth's rotational axis. In order for there to be four seasons one must look at the year in a linear scene. These two explanations flounder between linear and nonlinear explanation and are entirely inconsistent. They fly about as far as a lead balloon or possibly a balloon made out of something even heavier. Such as a lead balloon with more lead attached to it.

5. Also you have not provided a new system of measuring time. One cannot say quarter to midday as the time, it's too inaccurate. Everyone would be late for their NRA Meetings and appointments to get their bunions scraped. We can't have that, chaos would reign. The Time Demented Hourglass isn't about chaos it's about harmony, correct? Please go into detail on a new system for incrementing time. The requirements are: It must be accurate. It must take into account the variable length of each day depending on what point in the year it is. It must be simple and easy to use. It must have a simple conversion process to figure time distortion between longitudinal coordinates.

I anxiously await your reply, which will undoubtedly consist of you spouting off more name calling like 99% of your site does. I have proved beyond a doubt that your theory contains holes large enough to fly a space shuttle through and still have ample room for several Amish horse drawn buggies. Unless you can counter these arguments with something of more substance then calling me stupid and evil you owe me 1000 US dollars which I will probably end up spending on Hustler magazines and Easter egg coloring kits.

Good Midday to you sir,
Mike Johnson

Dear sir or madam,

Last week I had submitted a retort to the challenge you offer on your website to disprove your "wisdom claim". Since it has been nearly a week (or almost a month in your time), I am wondering when I will receive a reply.

If you are having difficulties comprehending any of the points in my e-mail I would be happy to explain them to you further. I can fully understand that you may have problems with these points as they require the reader to have an understanding of reality. Where as you apparently live in a demented fantasy land where your house plants speak to you and the universe can be explained by cutting a lemon in half.

If you wish to concede to my superior mental faculties please reply and I will send you the address to which you can send me my check.

Thank you,
Mike Johnson

You are too stupid to understand the Time Cube.

Although I knew from the beginning that all you were capable of spouting off was petty insults and tripe, I am none the less disappointed by your response.

You have made the claim that I am "too stupid" to understand Time Cube. Lets assume for a moment that you are correct. Despite my lack of knowledge I was still able to utterly demolish your theory with five pertinent points. Being that you were unable to defend your beliefs against my assault with any shred of logic that would make you far dumber then I. Therefore, I am claiming a decisive victory against your challenge and demand my payment of 1000 dollars. I would prefer you send me a check, however I will pick up my payment personally if you force me to.

Is this address current?

Ray, Gene
7700 Sun Island Dr. So. #501
South Pasadena, FL 33707

What time would be the most inconvenient for you?

You are stupid and evil,
Mike Johnson

You are dumb and I cannot waste my Time with you. I will place your death threat on my web site and notify the FBI.

You can notify the FBI if you wish, but I'm fairly certain they will simply laugh at you since at no place in my e-mail did I threaten your life.

I can't help but wonder why you would offer a challenge on your website but not accept any challengers?

It appears that your Internet connection is dropping information since the body of your e-mail was blank. Either that or you are attempting to say, "I do not wish to correspond with you anymore for you have crushed my spirit."

If the later is the case you should simply not reply, it is far more effective.

I also await our inevitable legal hearing, "Gene Ray vs. Some Fictitious Person I Made Up".

Sincerely,
Grandma Moses
