I note that many whack jobs get all twitterpated and confusing when it

human perception that makes this happen.

There are many similar kooks on the internet preoccupied with the idea
that they have it all sussed. They share a similar fixation on
geometry.

I'm sure a psychological study would explain it.

There's even a woman who posts occasionally, who has worked out that
there is a relationship between the "Great Pyramid", and the number of
books in the King James Bible, then progresses to explain that Jesus
Christ is the pinnacle stone, and Noahs ark is about half way up the
sides. Can't remember her name...

Personally, I think that it's become increasingly obvious that the
Pyramid builders played an early form of baseball, since IRRC, if you
add the length of the sides of the Great Pyramid (which is a DIAMOND!!
- isn't it obvious??), you get a number that is equal to the total
length of all of the hotdogs sold during an average NY baseball
double header. Similarly, the weight of the completed pyramid is equal
to the total weight of hotdogs sold in an average baseball season.

As far as I am concerned, that's proof enough!
