For those not inclined to read blind links, the above is an admission that someone on AG just made it up.

For shits and giggles one would assume.

How can you say that Bobtanium is fake!

Here is a picture of the researcher in question

Also, the stuff is made basically the same way as KFC chicken.

is The Cellar a "LIARS CLUB" ???

Here's what I eventually admitted about this, from this thread on AudioGalaxy:

And this, from later in the thread:

I don't know...is The Cellar a "LIARS CLUB" ??? Are we indifferent to "truth and horour" ???

Flint, wtf have you been saying about the Cellar for the FYREDEUS asstard to come to that conclusion?




* Not having the first clue about science, I thought it sounded feasible. Some of the projects to try and develop nano-computers and so on sound no more or less plausible than this one to me lol.

I ctrl+F'ed some recent AG threads for mention of The Cellar, and found none. Then I remembered the Radioactive Superconductors thread on Soundchain:

15.08.08
FYREDEUS - re: Radioactive Superconductors
I don't go to the Cellar but see hes tried to hoax them too...this time with a phony non-working [of course] link to make it look more credible.

Flint. - re: Radioactive Superconductors
The Cellar thread is interesting because people are "playing along" i.e. making it clear, between the lines, that they know it was a joke, but not ruining the joke for anybody else.

Seriously, nobody noticed that they make the stuff like KFC chicken; using a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices and a pressure cooker?

lol, I didn't read the article.

It looks as though some of you are beginning to come to the realization that Flint is in actuality... Bob...



This revelation should resolve many of your questions.... for those of you who doubt... research the church of the Subgenius and consider what you know of Flint... your eyes will be opened and you too will become a believer...
