Keebler Elves on the Death Star?

Judy "Keebler Elves" Wood, who apparently has a lot of time on her hands after being let go from her associate professor position at Clemson University (I can't imagine why they didn't want her teaching there), has come out with a new paper (sort of), titled "The WTC Bathtub and Star Wars Beam Weapons". H/T JREF forum.

It appears to be mostly talking about the bath tub surrounding the WTC complex, which shored up the ground and kept water from seeping in. The claim seems to be that the bathtub should have suffered more damage in the collapse, therefore there must have been some nefarious action at work. I couldn't find where they claimed it (They being Woods and fellow ex "Scholar" Morgan Reynolds, who brings the all important economist angle to this research) but based on the title, presumably this anomaly is caused by some secret Star Wars type death ray. Reynolds is a prominent "no planer" so this would make sense, in a conspiracy theorist type way. This is just an educated guess, since the conclusion is nothing more than a photo of a store selling Levi's. The perpetrators wore Docker's perhaps?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder.
















You see, I've turned the moon into what I like to call a "Death Star".

were some sort of wacky notion,

No it's perfectly reasonable that Bush would spend billions to invade Iraq rather than lift the sanctions and give Saddam more than Europe.

I suppose it would have to be some kind of superdestruto-death ray. There's no evidence of explosives, and they've conclusively proved that buildings don't collapse because of fire. That leaves death rays or keebler elves.

The stay puft marshmellow man was also an excellent hypothesis by l_d, they should look into that. It was New York, after all. Does he have an alibi? Has anyone seen him since ghostbusters?

That's awesome. Their evidence for a "beam weapon" is "toasted cars".

Hopefuly this will put an end to people quoting Judy Wood as an expert in anything.

I cannot believe, we mature, rational adults, are even giving this latest "salad of insanity" the benifit of discussion.

I refuse to talk about this theory (starwars death beam what ever) as it is beyond even the most juvenile, rediculous bunk we have seen from the children of the "truth" movement.

Oh! So THAT is how it was done.

I have always suspected that George Lucas was somehow behind the WTC collapse, er, demolition. He hired a bunch of technoexperts left over from the Star Wars movies, and together they used that death ray that was used against Princess Leia's planet at the start of the first Star Wars film in NYC against the WTC towers.

Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket!

It also happens to be the FIRST conspiracy theory I heard about 9/11, not three days after the towers fell. It's also the only time I ever punched a CTer.

I think I'd pay $50 to hear Alex Jones start babbling on his show about how this all comes back to the Allan Parsons Project
