Cloning, body modifications and Raelians

[tharun]

I think there was a mention of the Raelians a while back. They're a funny lot, who believe that we're created by aliens and shit. They're currently trying to raise money to build their embassy for aliens as close to Jerusalem as possible.

Anyway, anyone who's interested in 'body modifications' has probably seen bmezine.com before, but not to long ago they added an interview with the great Rael (who speaks with the aliens) which is kinda interesting:

Anyway, they are the 'cult' that claimed to clone a human a coupla years back, and now claime to have cloned a whole bunch.

I think this shit would be funny if it was true =)

I think in psychology there is a word for this type of people who are seeking fame(?), money(?) through obvious lies.
It is a mental illness and character disorder and I agree it can be amusing to observe them.

I like the part at the bottom reading:

Of course this was an April Fools parody article!

Yeah, same here. While reading the article I was thinking 'What the fuck is this?' and then when I got to that it all made sense :P. Still, an article like that written in total seriousness wouldn't surprise me. It'd just be less funny and more disturbing afterwards.
