Is there some central repository of classic net gambits? I'd like to
propose this one as worthy of inclusion as a classic exemplar of the
"troll," in which
someone with nothing to say makes foolish but provocative statements in
order to suck a bit of attention from the collective mind.

P.S. The entire space program is a fraud. They're really spending the money
to negotiate with the saucer people to give the ruling classes safe passage
on the last ship off earth. They're so contemptuous of us that they even
show us the sets for "the Mars lander" on TV, and pretend that they're just
for training purposes.
