Turns out someone from my department disappeared
recently. Here's his explanation:

I didn't realize that there were nuttier people
than I am here.

Funny thing is, this is the guy who more or
less replaced me on a certain project. He seemed
like a much harder worker than I'm willing to be,
and far more capable of handling the little crap
that was being demanded. I'm getting a hell of
a kick from it.

Oh crap. And I bet he saw the machine that
I was bombarding him with. Of course he'd
make the combination.

As to your question, no. My family's
from Northern Italy, where the mob
has little influence. Only two of my
uncles had any affiliation (and a couple
of cousins), AFAIK.

Maybe someone is poisoning him with mercury or some other heavy metal.

He does sound a bit like a hatter.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Sounds like he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.

Sounds like he suffers from post traumatic syndrome.

You mean Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?  I don't think that's it.

That's really bizarre.  Sounds more like paranoid scizophrenia.

it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Could be. One look at my former advisor's code made me run away.
If anyone actually tried to face the pile of crap that he wrote, they
probably would crack. He had files that were 10,000 plus lines, with
the only comments being sections that were commented out. And
this was stuff that was written after 2000. I didn't think that anyone
got away with shit like that.

Mike Matloff is probably Calandale.
Resigned to spend more time spamming on internet forums.
The tin-hat theory is just a cover.
