post discussing the difficulty of sifting parody of crazy-talk from actual crazy-talk

There’s a concept known as
Poe’s Law
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe%27s_Law
which posits that, unless you state specifically that you’re kidding, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that someone won’t mistake for the real thing. I think that idea should be expanded beyond religious fundamentalism, because I’m still not sure whether the Stop Alien Abductions site is serious or not.

I'm a little disappointed to discover that Edgar Allan Poe is not the origin of Poe's law, because that would have thrown an extra crazy-spoke in the insanity wheel, but I realize that most people are less willing than I am to live with ambiguity and paradox.

Now, please excuse me--the books are whispering to me (Oo! does that make me The Book Whisperer?).
