Anyone familiar with the talk.origins newsgroup remembers Ed Conrad. He's a first class kook from Pennsylvania who has been claiming for years to be the victim of a grand scientific conspiracy. He claims to have found human remains in a coal seam that dates long before humans were around, and of course it goes without saying that the Darwinian Establishment wants to shut him up and will stop at nothing to silence him, etc, etc. PZ Myers shows his latest incoherent screed on his blog, aimed at PZ. He's convinced that PZ is part of the conspiracy and that Temple University, his former employer, should be launching an investigation. It's all great fun.
Conrad is such a reliable loony that he prompted this amusing satirical "letter" from the Smithsonian. The funny thing is that the parody is only slightly different from the real thing.
