Time Cube is now a cult...

Net.kook alert: Coryoth writes on Kuro5hin:

Many of you are probably familiar with Time Cube. For those that aren't, Time Cube is a "theory" proposed by retired electrician and notorious crank Gene Ray, which you can read about at his website http://www.timecube.com. In summary: Gene Ray (semi-coherently) explains that very bad things will happen unless we accept his unique insights that "prove" that all modern science and religion are wrong. The website has become rather well known for it's unique style, and Gene Ray's mixture of strident conviction and sheer incomprehensibility.

The website is old news of course, what is interesting is that apparently there really are plenty of people out there who will believe anything, because Time Cube has gained some followers and seems to be turning into a rather bizarre cult.

Apparently Wikipedia has been having problems with a Time Cube supporter who has been very busy trying to make the Wikipedia Time Cube Page reflect his views that Time Cube is, in fact, the ultimate truth. While it is natural to assume the user is a troll his patience and determination (he has been editing the article and arguing his case for more than a year and half) would tend to imply otherwise.
