'The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow' by Constance Cumbey is recommended by Dave and I'll second that. I haven't read it yet but I'm sure it's amusing enough to make it worth digging it up somewhere. I witnessed an interesting interview with Ms Cumbey on television. She was caught in a number of preposterous falsehoods, including the claim that a certain cathedral (St John the Divine?) in New York was being equipped with lasers which, in cooperation with commsats, would make possible the 'projection' of holograms into all parts of the (I didn't catch why). On a more mundane level, Ms C was accused of making a large list of demonstrably false statements. In each case, her defense was either to deny making them (whereupon her accuser read aloud the statements from her own book or, in one case, played a recording of her making the statement ('Oh, I remember now!')), or to claim she had made a mistake there but everything ELSE was true, and anyway, her bad information was probably planted by a conspirator anyway. I saw the interview on, of all things, the Christian Broadcasting Network!
