What's the craziest fucking woo you've ever heard?

49. 2 from right here on DU!

Both from a long time ago, but I still think about these and smile. Some of the old-timers in here may remember them and correct me on some details:

1. A guy who claimed he was some sort of nth-degree Black Belt in an esoteric martial-arts discipline. He credited his success to the qi or chi flowing thru his body. Which, by dint of hard work and spiritual purity, he had increased!

Orrex fell on him like a ton of skeptical bricks and told him there was no such thing as qi. The OP was absolutely outraged, and went on for post after post about how qi HAD to be real, because HE FELT IT! And if science couldn't find it, by Steven Seagal, then something was wrong with science.

2. Then there was the guy who - with his girlfriend, no less - attended "astral meet-ups" inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. And the sex was great!

I was living in Egypt at the time, and asked him what he could see over the head of the Sphinx while floating around up there. One answer would be - a Pizza Hut, famous for its views of the Giza Plateau thru the windows. He could have also answered papyrus schools, carpet schools, or perfume schools - all tourist traps, and all thicker than camel fleas around Giza.

As I recall, he didn't bother answering at all. Probably because I was still operating on an Inferior Spiritual Plane. Damn! If I had only known about Astral Travel, my company could have saved a bunch of money in airfare.
