Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Judean People's Front vs. People's Front of Judea?

The following story:

December 17, 2004One of the Hasidic men arrested in a brawl outside the headquarters of an Orthodox Jewish sect offered a simple explanation of the fight for outsiders who can't tell the warring factions without a scorecard.

"The Rebbe is Superman and [Rabbi] Yehuda Krinsky is Lex Luthor, you understand?" Meyer Romano, 23, told The Post yesterday as he left Brooklyn criminal court after a night in jail.

Romano was one of a crowd that was busted Wednesday for trying to interfere with Krinsky's placement of a plaque honoring Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, the founder of the Lubavitch movement who died in 1994.

Krinsky's congregation placed the plaque on the cornerstone of the Lubavitchers' Crown Heights headquarters.

But Romano is part of a faction that believes Schneerson is still alive — and will one day reveal himself as the Messiah.

reminded me of Life of Brian:
Brian: I am NOT the Messiah!
Arthur: I say you are Lord, and I should know. I've followed a few.
