"Beaker! Put that gorilla back! You don't know where it's been!"

Telephone poles all over this part of town have handmade signs of stenciled spraypaint (of almost the exact same style as were mass-produced for Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign) trying to raise paranoia over airplane contrails. Yup, a chemtrail wingnut is about. Or maybe more than one, hard to tell. What makes the signs particularly amusing is that this is a desert: contrails cannot form without a certain amount of humidity in the air, and most of the year we don't have that. And even during what rainy seasons we have, they don't always show up except -- mostly as harbingers of storms.

So being told to look up and see for yourself? Er, yeah, not so much.

Also, the style is also particularly suited to parody:

WHAT are they CONDENSING in the SKY???
CLOUDBANKS
GOOGLE IT!

WHAT are they STUFFING in their FACES???
PRESERVATIVES
GOOGLE IT!

WHAT are they PUTTING on their FACES???
COSMETICS
GOOGLE IT!

And so on. Maybe, if enough people take it up, we can get a meme going. Feel free to get started in comments. Or, yanno, not.

Well, I Googled it. While I *thought* I was informed the chemtrail/contrail controversy, I now know about the Sylphs. Did you know about the Sylphs? That bit makes it ever more interesting:
There's a source that will "give you a good idea on the overall agenda of chemtrail spraying and how they are mitigated throuigh the use of orgone generators and focused intent. Air elemental beings identified by the ancient Greeks (& Paracelsus) as Sylphs are stimulated and energized by orgone generators and will literally vacumn up and transmute chemtrails into harmless substances. I realize this is hard to believe by the average person who is unaware of these etheric beings, but the evidence can be seen right over your head if you know what to look for"

I love the Internet, but I can't decide whether it's weirder to bounce around in other peoples' minds before or after coffee.
