The optometrist advice was the first thought that crossed my mind while reading.
The sky changed color? Perhaps his rods/cones were burnt a tad.

He spotted shadows in the sky immediately after looking straight at the Sun?
I wonder if this guy can breathe and drink beer at the same time...

Or maybe he had too many beers? :)

"I think they've put something up there to stop us seeing whatever it is that's coming towards us...."
Sounds like some Nibiru/Planet X nonsense.

That was my immediate thought as well. I'm beginning to wonder if there aren't certain conspiracy theories towards which people suffering from schizophrenia naturally gravitate. I'm no expert, but isn't the general consensus that schizophrenia is something of a "short circuit" in pattern recognition? If that's the case, then it would seem to me that anything that provides them with a well-established template to start from would exacerbate their problems.

That would explain a lot of them for sure. But I think many want to "show the rest of us" they know something that we don't, thereby elevating their self-worth

Oh, no doubt. There always appear to be a few of that type at the core of any given conspiracy "theory," then there's the widening gyre of believers that pick up the banner and run with it. The deeper I delve into this stuff, the more I believe that there are a few ego-driven attention seekers who are, consciously or not, feeding a great many other peoples' delusions. I'd almost go so far as to say a case could be made that what these glory hounds are doing is psychologically damaging to their own "disciples."

Unfortunately YT is chock full of both types and that is where the unsuspecting enter. It is easy to view a quick video and judge the merits of whichever conspiracy that is being presented, and not do some critical thinking. Now some do of course but the fence setters are the ones that get hooked on the slick seductive nature of some of the videos (well made even if the subject material is suspect).

Someone went troppo http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=going+troppo
Not uncommon in the NT.

And the NT News is somewhere between the Daily Mail and the Sunday Sport (remember the WWII Bomber found on the moon?)...

When, where and how did I miss this gem of journalistic labor? I miss all the good stuff apparently.

The NT News?

No, it's Australian. NT here means the Northern Territory, the central northern region of Australia, including cities like Darwin and Alice Springs and natural sights like Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kakadu National Park.
Incidentally, in (tropical) Darwin at the moment it's coming to the end of the dry season, when the Crazy is at its worst.

No I was referring to the Sunday Sport, sorry for the confusion.
-
...the Sunday Sport (remember the WWII Bomber found on the moon?)...
An amateur astronomer I know recognised the bit of the moon in the picture and worked out that the bomber would need a wingspan of about 100km if the picture was genuine. He wrote to the Sunday Sport pointing this out.
He was somewhat aggrieved when they didn't publish his letter.

Rather like Aulis not having a way to refute their claims or YT's that disable comments on their conspiracy BS.

It's close to the best time of year to be there at present. Things only go a bit crazy come the wet season, not for another three months, give or take.
For those not from Oz, NT is Australia's Alaska. Make of that what you will.....

So the crazy time begins with a celebration of rains? Rather like a hyper rain dance?

Only very hot instead of very cold.
Been there just once, briefly passing through Darwin on a flight to Singapore...

Okay, who stole the bomber?

The Sunday Sport. I'm ashamed that my country produced such a filthy rag of a newspaper. The headlines were mildly amusing, but the rest of the content was essentially soft porn.

Actually, the soft porn might be the most socially redeeming part.

Sounds like "The Sun"

According to Wikipedia, it's like that but with even more la boobies.

In Manchester, the Daily Star was advertised at launch with the slogan "More nipples than The Sun"
It was also inadvertently responsible for a new standard in English law: the Morning Star sued on the grounds that the name of the new paper was too similar to their own. The judge ruled that "only a moron in a hurry" could possibly confuse the two...
