Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / January 2006Tooth Extraction
Just out of idle curiosity I set Ed Conrad's purported "Canine Tooth" which he was selling on ebay on my watch list, just to see if anyone was foolish enough to bid for it. Checked again, hmmmm nothing there. Now since most sensible folk just killfile Ed, they may not have even noticed, but it amused me to find that, rather than just end the auction with no bids the "tooth" ( along with the ususal irrelavantly appended drivel from good old Ed) had disappeared. ( A bit like ur other "Friend" JPT, s Australiab Earthquake/Tsunami). Clearly Ed has either had the item pulled by ebay itself, or has pulled it out himself, perhaps his conviction of the authenticity of it wavered at the last moment :-) Now, if only he would withdraw from his postings :-) Cheers nigel Hull, East Yorkshire - Britains Ice Age Coast > Just out of idle curiosity I set Ed Conrad's purported "Canine Tooth" > which he was selling on ebay on my watch list, just to see if anyone > was foolish enough to bid for it. I was wanting to do the same (contemplating whether it would be worthwhile buying it in order to have grounds for a law suit against Ed. Force him into penury too dire to afford internet connection, and thereby improve USENET immeasurably. Do you have the eBay item number?

Gawn, OMG how I wish Ed went too.... > Thread in cci.geo.geology PROOF OF MAjOR CATASTROPHE-- eBay No. > 6593236250 sci.geo.geology ? I must have missed the original article, presumably because the delusional (or fraudulent) Mr Conrad is firmly near the top of my killfile (well, his name begins with a 'C' after all <G>). Hmmm, is the prospect of catching Conrad by the short'n'curlies committing inter-state or international fraud is tempting, but is it sufficient to excavate him from the total death part of the killfile and put him into the Kooks Korner part ... hmmm. I'll worry about it when I get back from the rig. What name was he selling under?

I claim Conrad is innocent of fraud. He believes what he says. That removes criminal intent. If you wish to question his sanity that is of course another issue and one on which Conrad has provided plenty of information. Are you kidding? Conrad is a low-level editor on a very small town newspaper in Pennsylvania. Other than the ton of brass he exhibits on the newsgroups, and a heck of a pile of rocks he has dragged in, I don't think he has a bucket to urinate in. HB > Are you kidding?

I thought he'd spent too long in the Ozzy outback looking for JPT's gold.

If Ed can afford an Internet connection, he clear has more money than anyone should want him too. > I > don't think he has a bucket to urinate in. So, a few thousand dollars to defend himself against a lawsuit could bankrupt him? Leave him unable to afford a telephone line and electric power, let alone an internet connection and a computer?
