It's so far out there, it's tempting to say it must be a wind-up. There again, a cursory web search has him being interviewed by local newspapers about his inventions (the Geothermal Turbine, for example) - so perhaps he really is just an utter, utter loon.<br /><br />As for funny:<br /><br />"I invented the Kadir-Buxton Method twenty six years ago, and during this time over 35,000 mentally ill citizens have killed themselves or someone else in the UK alone". Using the Method? Had he hoped for higher numbers?<br /><br />Then:<br /><br />"I have personally resuscitated someone after twenty six minutes, which is far longer than conventional methods. Yes, this method does have its limits, and an attempt to use it on someone who had been dead for three and a half hours was a failure, but practically everyone is less than twenty six minutes away from trained medical staff". The secret is to stamp on the body, really hard, apparently. Not funny in itself, but the caveat is awesome: "Finally, the patient should be taken to hospital as soon as possible as there is a reason for them dying in the first place, which should be treated."<br /> <br />And, of course:<br /><br />"At the age of 12 I invented Economy 7 to cut pollution and put the idea to Prime Minister Harold Wilson. For this 'crime' Ted Heath attempted to assassinate me. He killed a 14 year old boy in a local school who he thought was the inventor of Economy 7. For the rest of his political career Ted Heath boasted of killing the inventor of Economy7, even when he knew I was alive. Even today some Conservative Party Members believe that I am dead. Ted Heath is obviously one of the worst Prime Ministers we have had." He was, but not necessarily for the somewhat libellous reason given here.<br /><br />Beyond parody. Perhaps even beyond genius. I can only say that his site and those who follow him had me laughing aloud...and echo the sentiments of someone who signed his online petition as: "Please stop this man slapping my head then trying to Handclap up my chuff"!endemoniada_88noreply@blogger.com
