That article seems to draw in the crackpots like {insert image of choice 
here}.
It is a waste of our time to go over their theories with them (the guy 
who said measuring with a stick was a "more direct way of measuring" 
wasted HOURS of my time).

I have recently been tempted to wipe most of that article's talk page 
and leave only discussion about the article itself, and add a big notice 
saying "WIKIPEDIA IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOUR OWN THEORIES".
