This is too crazy...

I was learning about the new cult Raelians... Very odd ****, but anyway, The guy was a race car driver and read what car he raced...


Rael is actually Claude Vorilhon, a former French automobile journalist, who explains in his book, The True Face of God, that he was taken to the planet Elohim in a flying saucer in 1975 and introduced to such noted earthlings as Jesus, Buddha, Joseph Smith and Confucius. The Elohim, small human-shaped beings with pale green skin and almond eyes, were apparently the original inspiration for the Judeo-Christian god. They informed Vorilhon that he was the final prophet -- sent to relay a message of peace and sensual meditation to humankind under his new name of Rael -- before the Elohim would return to Jerusalem in the year 2025. They didn't however, oblige him to give up race-car driving, and Rael spent much of the '80s and '90s whipping around the world's racetracks in his beloved Mazda RX 7 Turbo. (Now in his early 50s, he's in semi-retirment from the stock-car tracks, although he's been known to enliven his speeches with videos of past racing exploits.) The theme of tonight's lecture, cloning, seems to be linked to Rael's conviction that the human race was created in the laboratory from the DNA of aliens, 25,000 years ago.

Very odd indeed. Just goes to show you have to be a little milky in the filbert to have an RX-7.

I literally bumped into that dude!

I was at an ice race in Sherbrooke Quebec, and he was there. (It was one of those European series where all the old F1 drivers like Rene Arnoux would drive in!) Me and a couple of friends were roaming around in the paddock when I bumped into this freakshow in a space suit - guess who, yup Rael. I was then promptly shoved aside by his two giant body guards in fur coats. We took a few pics of him, (and his harem of questionable ladies) but were afraid that we'd steal his soul with our camera! And to think, he used to drive an Rx7. I think I'll start building that embasy to welcome our cosmic creators....

explanation for those sarcastically challenged

[this could be taken at least two ways. one: thats this is in the wrong section and as a joke offered some typical advice to problems that get repeated often. two: that the guy has a vacuum leak somewhere up top and is delusional]

heh, the 70's

What's funny is that the Elohim are characters from a book by Stephen R Donaldson, He wrote the the "Thomas Covenant Unbeliever " series. In the book the Elohim were God like creatures... hmm...

I think he has a blown rear rotor from fuel cut due to too much boost.

Jeremy, You made me laugh the first time I read the vac leak comment.

This guy is definately a loose nut behind the wheel.
