Crazy Scientists

I found the above link distressing:

"The doctor claims that by ridding Egypt, and eventually the whole world, of butterflies, we will save ourselves and humanity from their devastating effects. That is, the world could basically avert the looming climate crisis, and possibly even mend the current financial one"

First I thought that was an April fools joke, but then I saw the date on that link, October 2009. Thats crazy, nuts indeed:
He told EKT that in it he cited the success of the recent culling of the pigs in Egypt as bullet-proof evidence that his proposal will work.
What was this guy smokin' when he dreamed this up? I'd really like to know what he basis his evidence on, if its that quote there, well, this says it all: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Even the responses are hilarious. Nice one
I agree. Its like they are saying Egyptians are an "Alien race" that need wiped out before its too late. :lol:

And I really don't want to know what this combination would do: "a joint degree in gynecology and quantum physics" :shock:
Cheers all,
