"Do not underestimate Evil Cullinane's plan for World Domination!
http://www.log24.com
now shows that he has crossed over to the dark
side, making sacrifices to the Ancient Hindu Goddess 'Kalli' to ward off
our attacks! 'Kalli'-nane will soon appear as the top result on
every Google search.

crankbuster's remarks
Soon, all young mathematicians will be
hypnotised by his
dark diamonds of falsehood. At least, that's his plan. But
wait, who's that brilliant mathematician who shines the light right
through
Cullinane's fraud and exposes him to the whole world?!
Crankbuster saves the day! (applause)"
From Log24, July 18:
Is Beauty the Beast?
( Headline in Christianity Today)
"In Hindu mythology, Kali,
the Divine Mother, is the symbol for the infinite diversity of
experience. Kali represents the entire physical plane. She is the
drama, tragedy, humor, and sorrow of life. She is the brother, father,
sister, mother, lover, and friend. She is the fiend, monster, beast,
and brute."
-- Gary Zukav, Harvard '64
Star Trek's "Scotty," who died at 5:30 AM PDT July 20, was "a veteran of the D-Day landings who managed to hide a war
injury on screen. As an artillery lieutenant in the Canadian army, he
was hit by six machine-gun bullets, one of which removed his middle
right finger."

One giant leap for mankind:
Date Posted: 11/03/02 Sun
"The 'Diamond Theory' website of Steven Cullinane shows a man who is
incapable of telling the truth: a pathological liar who hates and
despises the mathematical community; a sociopath caught between the
conflicting desires to earn the admiration of mathematicians, and his
desire to insult those who ignore him and refuse him his self-perceived
due measure of honor and reverie. As such, Steven Cullinane is
constantly trying to purchase recognition when he has the funds to
advertise on google.com, or steal that recognition by lying and
deceiving dmoz.org when money isn't enough. As you can see from the
correspondence below, Jed Pack has clearly pointed out serious errors
in Steven Cullinane's calculations. Now, instead of admitting that he
has been caught with his pants down, Steven Cullinane is questioning
Jed Pack's education! Surely, Jed Pack is a more competent
mathematician than Steven Cullinane."

From today's New York Times:
"Elizabeth Blodgett Hall, an educator who concluded that bored high
school students should be sent straight to college and started Simon's
Rock College to prove the point, died on Monday in Canaan, Conn. She
was 95....
Mrs. Hall's mission was intensely personal. In addition to spending
more than $6 million of her own, she gave 200 acres of her family's
farmland, buildings included, to start the college.... She named it for a rock on which she had played
as a child."
"Was there really a cherubim
waiting at the star-watching rock...?
Was he real?
What is real?"
-- Madeleine L'Engle,
A Wind in the Door,
quoted at math16.com
