It's always amazing how these people can run all sorts of tests on
their rocks, use lots of scientific jargon, make big claims, but their
websites look like a stoned 5-year-old built them. None of these
nutjobs have any idea how to build a decent-looking website. LOL.

If you are going to push a load of bullshit on to the world, at least
make a professional-looking website to do it.
